Greater certainty about growth levels over longer time horizons helps the County Council to better inform decisions and plan for change in services and policies. The most sustainable option for accommodating the housing need for Ipswich and its wider housing market will need to be agreed collectively. It could be through increasing densities in Ipswich or allocating land elsewhere in the housing market area. The evidence base for the housing requirement will need to be informed by updates to national projections. In finalising housing requirements, the County Council will provide evidence on the ageing population and demand for specialised accommodation.
