Full opportunity and capacity to meet identified housing land needs should be explored. The Councils seek a re-phrasing of Paragraph 8.7 to clarify that whilst Ipswich Borough may be under-bounded, the Borough will meet its own identified housing needs with the Borough for this Plan.

The Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan housing numbers will be identified upon the publication of the national housing price affordability data schedule for March 2019.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk Councils are committed to cross boundary strategic planning across the Ipswich Housing Market Area and have worked to develop shared evidence and policy approaches.

Full opportunity and capacity to meet identified housing land needs should be explored. An amendment should be made to policy CS2 to acknowledge that local planning authorities within the Ipswich housing market area will plan to meet the needs of their own areas.

The Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan housing numbers will be identified upon the publication of the national housing price affordability data schedule for March 2019. This will have consequential effects upon any Ipswich DPD document which refer to either Babergh or Mid Suffolk housing numbers.

The Councils express support for Objective 6 regarding improving accessibility to all forms of transport and achieving significant modal shift from the car to more sustainable modes through local initiatives as expressed in policies such as CS5, CS20, DM20 and DM21. It should be emphasised within this objective of the role Suffolk County Council has in delivering improvements.

Support Objective 12 regarding a co-ordinated approach to planning and development within the ISPA. However, it must be recognised that in meeting the housing needs of the IHMA, each local planning authority is to meet their own needs within their Local Plans.
