The Core Strategy has radically changed its focus from a jobs-led strategy to a housing needs-led strategy. Ipswich needs houses but it also needs jobs and the two need to be in balance. The implication of new homes being constructed without sufficient jobs being created will result in either higher unemployment levels in the Borough or new residents having to travel outside the Borough to sites of employment.
