The revised CS should explain why IBC no longer believes in a jobs-led strategy. We argue that for sustainable development jobs and housing growth must be in balance and located in close proximity with good sustainable transport links. Neither more unemployed residents or residents working outside the borough is considered to be sustainable. A housing-led strategy means the proposed Garden Suburb with new jobs in the town centre reached by bus, bike or on foot is no longer sustainable and so the CS is unsound
