CS2(e) BDC/MSDC support offices outside Ipswich centre as this is in line with proposals in BDC/MSDC but there remains the need to identify land for such provision within the Borough as the most sustainable location. The Core Strategy jobs target is reduced to 12,500. BDC/MSDC are concerned that the lack of job opportunities identified in the Borough will create an imbalance between jobs and homes, causing unsustainable commuting patterns. The Core Strategy must meet NPPF obligations: ensuring enough jobs for the in-migration resulting from housing provision; and ensuring job losses are made up for in addition to the projected provision.
