Vulnerability of housing supply:
- Consider scale and delivery rates of UK Central hub proposals are unrealistic, and neither details on trajectory and delivery timescales, nor commitments from delivery partners, have not been included in consultation documentation.
- Based on LPR adoption date of 2022, we consider first likely completions to be ca. 2030. This is based on Lichfields’ Report (‘Start to Finish’, Feb 2020) analysis that concludes the average time from outline planning app to first completion is 8.4 years.
- Given information within the August 2020 consultation {Arden Cross?}, we consider a 160dpa build out rate between 2030-2036 is reasonable, to delivery 960 dwellings. Type of supply should also be considered, as geared towards apartments. Amount of infrastructure required also needs consideration.
