Without properly defined specific and measurable jobs growth objectives the CS is unsound. Two jobs targets are required: one for the Borough and one for outside the Borough. Measurement indicators are needed.
The housing target is so poorly defined as to be ineffective. To improve soundness a specific, realistic and measurable housing growth target is required for the Borough of Ipswich, based on the best available data and forecasts. IBC plans to help grow housing in neighbouring LAs. This needs to be explained and agreed with neighbouring LAs, together with a plan of how it will be achieved and measured.
