The Section 106 is yet to be signed. No Reserved Matters for the first wave of development has been agreed. The agents have identified that delivery of the first housing will be in 2020/2021. This is an unrealistic given the time required for consideration of such large-scale proposals and for their implementation in line with other pre-commencement requirements.
Will also impact on the delivery of housing after 2020/2021 which would represent a significant impact on the housing numbers of the trajectory.
Delivery of 250 dwellings per annum is not realistic and requires review.
The eastern part of the site is also reliant on the relocation of a railway station and therefore infrastructure requirements will underpin the delivery of new dwellings on this part of the site. Although the Councils recognised that housing delivery on this part of the site will be from 2021, given that outline consent is yet to be issued, this anticipated delivery timeframe is not realistic.
