Bourn Airfield New Village
The typical lead-in times that the Councils' have published do not include assumptions which relate specifically to strategic sites such as this. The only comparable sites are Cambourne and Northstowe - Phase 1. Taking an average of these two sites, it took 4.8 years from the registration of a planning application to first completions. Accordingly, the earliest monitoring year in which completions can be expected at Bourn Airfield New Village is 2022/2023. Even if it is accepted that the site is deliverable in accordance with the NPPF definition, which is considered to be questionable, the Councils' trajectory would need to be amended as follows to reflect lead in times for similar sites.
The information contained within the uploaded Housing Land Supply Assessment makes clear that the Councils', whether considered separately or jointly, are not able to demonstrate a five year housing land supply of deliverable sites in accordance with the requirements of the NPPF.
