BDC/MSDC is concerned over the change in direction away from the existing strategy especially the abandonment of the clear steer in existing paragraph 3.3 "that a jobs-led growth strategy is the right one for Ipswich". NPPF is clear that development should be sustainable with a need for employment centres to continue their role to provide for employment opportunities. This requires the Core Strategy to take a much more positive approach/ have a strategy to jobs provision including taking every sustainable opportunity available to provide employment land within the Borough.

The revised CS should explain why IBC no longer believes in a jobs-led strategy. We argue that for sustainable development jobs and housing growth must be in balance and located in close proximity with good sustainable transport links. Neither more unemployed residents or residents working outside the borough is considered to be sustainable. A housing-led strategy means the proposed Garden Suburb with new jobs in the town centre reached by bus, bike or on foot is no longer sustainable and so the CS is unsound
