Yes. A more realistic growth scenario based on the Government's White paper target and the Experian jobs target; although we note even this is double the historic trend.
A scenario that takes account of BREXIT, including weaker sterling levels, should be assessed. We note that paragraph 5.38 of the SHMA states that a 10 year scenario was ruled out because of the low levels of international migration following the recession. However, this type of scenario is far more likely given BREXIT and the much weaker pound, which have slashed the attractiveness of the UK to EU workers.

The Local Plan growth agenda is unsustainable. A clear and unequivocal determination of wider infrastructure needs, and funding to meet them, is needed.

Do we need to infill every spare bit of land with housing? No. There are so many empty buildings and half built things in Ipswich and these should be looked at first.
