Table 1 - Whilst we accept that meeting the full housing requirement is highly likely to necessitate joint working with neighbouring areas, it is incumbent on Ipswich Borough Council to make best use of land within its own boundary first before it relies on assistance from others. The evidence base, in the form of the SHLAA, shows that it has not done that, because the SHLAA identifies additional opportunities within the Borough boundary, including my client's land, which has previously been tested through and found to be suitable for housing.
