Both councils are right to highlight the potential for more homes being planned to provide a greater number of affordable homes and that these would be likely to serve the needs of Ipswich. However, the cost of the necessary infrastructure will need to be integrated further if such an approach were to be followed.

Options for increasing densities within Ipswich should be thoroughly explored before further growth is considered on greenfield sites, particularly beyond the administrative boundary. This could include the potential relocation of businesses, which may prefer improved access to the primary route network. However, it should be recognised that more urban locations for businesses, particularly those towards the centre of the town, can offer better opportunities to use sustainable transport for journeys to work.
