Northstowe - Phase 1

The site has multiple avenues for implementation and this provides a strong basis for delivery as the risk of delay is shared between multiple builders. It is recognised that a number of parcels are currently being actively delivered and therefore are robustly and materially contributing towards the housing supply of the Councils.

However, it is considered that the position of Parcels H8 and H9 does not demonstrate assurance of delivery that is required to calculate an accurate housing trajectory. These sites benefit from an extant outline consent, but currently do not have the requisite Reserved Matters permissions to provide for their delivery. Parcels H8 and H9 (203 dwellings) are yet to be granted their detailed consent, without which they cannot be delivered. Objection is raised to the identified delivery of these parcels as this does not demonstrate a realistic approach, especially where Barratt Homes have not provided a response to the Council.
