The jobs and homes figures are not justified. 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 it. Measurement indicators are needed.
The housing target is so poorly defined as to be ineffective. A specific, realistic and measurable housing growth target is required for Ipswich Borough, based on the best available data and forecasts. IBC plans to help grow housing in neighbouring LAs. This needs to be agreed with neighbouring LAs, together with a plan of how it will be achieved and measured.
