The "wider Ipswich Area" needs to be defined to avoid confusion. It is essential that "housing growth in Ipswich is matched by employment growth". We strongly object to this proposed change and deletion of the words 'The town cannot support a growing population without commensurate change in the level of accessible jobs provision.' We support the decision to focus on the delivery of jobs within the Borough rather than the Ipswich Policy Area. However, we would like to see a firm jobs target for clarity. For instance, would a shortfall of 5, 10 or 20% be considered a success?
