13550 new houses is unachievable within the Borough and relies on windfalls and neighbouring authorities. Population and household forecasts should be revised in the light of DCLG 2011 data and latest ONS and EEFM data using 2011 census. Trend migration data is flawed, migrants are attracted to higher wage areas with jobs, unlike Ipswich. The loss of the target for development of previously developed land will result in greenfield development and failure to regenerate deprived areas. 'Larger' sites should be defined. We favour a specific minimum new jobs target based on newer data e.g. from 2011 census
