A mixed approach is needed, but strategically the aim should be to limit the need for travel to work, and certainly not extended travel (e.g. to London). The effect of London economic growth on the South East has been to encourage more travel to London, leading to overcrowded trains, overpriced houses and worn out commuters. It's a failed strategy.

The question presumes individuals in future are employed and working at workplaces. The number of self-employed has rocketed and growth in start-ups is huge. How about a growth area where there is housing and enterprise space e.g. small/medium sized and shared office/workshop space. To minimise commutes, put space in clusters, not massive industrial estates, but e.g. on Ravenswood an enterprise small business space where they can base themselves rather than driving into the town centre - facilities like Basepoint built closer to people's homes. There is nowhere in Ipswich I could relocate my business to (currently in Bury St Edmunds).

Regardless of the approach taken, improving accessibility between homes and work places must be a priority when developing the Local Plans and assessing infrastructure requirements. A full cross-boundary Transport Assessment of the impact of draft Local Plans is required before they can be finalised.
