There is a deficit of employment sites in north and north east Ipswich. The triangle of existing employment areas links Ransomes, the former sugar beet factory, Whitehouse and the town centre. The Core Strategy does not consider alternative employment land allocations at the Northern Fringe. The area will lose jobs related to agriculture without replacing with permanent numbers of alternatives. With home ownership at its lowest level since 1987 who will buy the homes anyway?
