The Core Strategy Review fails to identify either sufficient specific deliverable sites for years 1-10 or broad locations for the full housing requirement, and therefore fails the tests of Soundness in terms of Effectiveness, being Positively Prepared, and being consistent with the NPPF.

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.
