Currently the Highway Authority does not have sufficient evidence to judge whether or not the residual cumulative impacts of the development proposed will be severe. This needs to be provided by IBC. The County Council will continue to advise IBC on commissioning further evidence to consider this matter. Modelling undertaken for the adopted Core Strategy suggested that the overall effects of development could be mitigated if sufficient sustainable transport measures were delivered. This model is being updated. It is likely that the planned growth will have significant localised impacts on the highway network, necessitating sustainable transport measures and highway mitigation.

The Plan is failing to deliver enough land for housing, and needs to achieve the maximum delivery possible from existing suitable sites within the Borough boundary.

We consider the overall Local Plan housing target contained within the Proposed Submission Core Strategy to be justified and positively prepared, and accordingly consistent with National Policy. IBC concludes that it has only 3.9 years' worth of supply (4,253 dwellings) based upon its adopted Core Strategy housing requirement (AMR December 2014). However, The PPG advises that the shortfall should be rectified within the first five years, which results in 3.26 years' of supply. This therefore places increased emphasis on the deliverability of the identified locations for growth, including the Garden Suburb.

Policy CS7 relies upon evidence which is not up to date. In order to be certain that the full objectively assessed housing need has been identified, further updates to evidence are required. Notwithstanding the issue of evidence, Policy CS7 does not provide an adequate or sound basis for meeting housing need, since it is reliant on unidentified sources of housing land, including those outside the Ipswich Borough administrative area, to meet that need. The Council should focus on identifying the proportion of its full objectively assessed need that it can meet, and plan effectively to deliver that.

Support the efforts of the Council in using existing models and forecasts. However, the data is not up to date. ONS migration data used only goes up to 2010/11 whereas latest forecasts show no migration to Ipswich from 2012-2031. Immigration will take place in places with better jobs and wages. DCLG's household projections show a need for 10,434 homes. The baseline household figure used is too high.

Policy CS7 relies upon evidence which is not up to date. In order to be certain that the full objectively assessed housing need has been identified, further updates to evidence are required. This includes 2011 Census data and DCLG 2012-based household projections as a starting point. Notwithstanding the issue of evidence, Policy CS7 does not provides an adequate or sound basis for meeting housing need, since it is reliant on unidentified sources of housing land, including those outside the Ipswich Borough administrative area, to meet that need. It is therefore contrary to NPPF paragraph 47.

Policy CS7: The amount of new housing required

The policy is unsound because:

a) it is questionable whether the figure of 13,550 (as set out in paragraph 8.77) is properly representative of the objectively assessed housing need for Ipswich

Object to the requirement for 13,500 homes. It requires a big increase on current building levels and those since 2008. SOCS do not support this figure as justified or necessary. IBC appear to be "letting the tail wag the dog." Threats from unsustainable development via the lack of 5 year supply, should not force the Borough into proposing an inadequate plan. The plan must have balance and be both job and homes led. Growth should not be a "given" if the circumstances are adverse and dictate otherwise. Localism (public views) should be given greater weighting. Endorse NFPG points also.

You state that house prices in Ipswich are below the national average. Surely by the laws of supply and demand this would imply there is an excess rather than shortfall of housing. You only have to compare prices here with those in nearby locations with a genuine shortfall (for example Cambridge) to see this in practical effect. So the large-scale increase in housing stock that the strategy calls for is unjustified.

The muddled presentation of the housing requirement in the opening of the document set the tone for the rest of the report. The scope sometimes includes the whole Ipswich Policy Area (IPA), e.g. available locations for all 13000+ homes, and sometimes does not, e.g. road access to the north of Ipswich. Housing requirements: of 13,550 for the period 2011-2031, 10,585 new sites are needed. 4,734 are identified within Ipswich Borough, including the IGS, with a further 1,800 properties to be built on 'windfall' sites. This leaves 4051 to be built within the IPA, but outside Ipswich Borough.

Object to the requirement for 13,500 homes - they are not needed and this number is not desirable. It requires a big increase on current building levels and those since 2008. Better infrastructure should be provided locally first. For example, prior to a northern fringe development new relief roads to the north and west are required and faster railway networks to London, Cambridge and Norwich should be provided.
