Representation Summary:

We are concerned that the proposed 'typical' lead-in times is not supported by the evidence contained in the document, and that projected lead-in times on strategic sites are not supported by the Council's own and others' evidence.

Five sites have been excluded. Removing such sites from the determination of 'typical' lead-in times skews the evidence. Logically sites that progressed from planning application to first construction or completion in an abnormally short period should likewise be excluded.

The reasons given for the exclusion of some sites are not considered to be 'abnormal' site specific factors that will not be encountered with future sites. There are sites included in the trajectory to which these 'abnormal' factors are applicable.
