- Barratts Farm multiple ownership is described as ‘complex’ in Para. 541.
- Is single largest site and one proposed to delivery by-pass.
- Previous draft of Local Plan stated site will only be brought forward if landowners/promoters could demonstrate collaborative and comprehensive approach. Seems from text this is not the case.
- Serious doubt Barratts Farm can be delivered within anticipated timeframe, which affects Plan’s housing land supply.
Relief road issues:
- Policy advises relief road required early in the plan period.
- Road will be provisionally funded by CIL payments and grant funding that may come from WMCA.
- CIL funding can only be secured through future sites, which can only be delivered until Local Plan Review is adopted (as they are in the Green Belt) and subsequent CIL schedule is adopted.
- No grant funding proposal in place to fund the road.
- Therefore, road is not deliverable.
