There are flaws in forecasts for population and households: data not up to date EEFM data dated 2012 not 2013 and latest ONS data not used as an example latest data shows inward migration decreasing. DCLG household projections have not been appropriate consideration despite being up to date (April 2013). Ipswich household date of 58,700 does not match April 2011 Census figure of 57,300. The SA/SEA process requires examination of baseline information based on the best data available, which is not so as they fais to use latest DCLG and EEFM forecasts; therefore CS and SA are unsound
