They want to add 21,450 homes to Ipswich. And they have no plans to build infrastructure.
The government wants to build 715 homes a year in Ipswich. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 21,450 homes - +34% on the 62,318 dwellings already in the area.
Ipswich is treated as a single built-up area in the settlement data, so we do not quote a per-settlement average here.
