BDC/MSDC is concerned over the change in direction away from the existing strategy especially the abandonment of the clear steer in existing paragraph 3.3 "that a jobs-led growth strategy is the right one for Ipswich". NPPF is clear that development should be sustainable with a need for employment centres to continue their role to provide for employment opportunities. This requires the Core Strategy to take a much more positive approach/ have a strategy to jobs provision including taking every sustainable opportunity available to provide employment land within the Borough.
