Objections are raised to this policy, in particular to part (c). Restricting developments of 50 or more homes to phasing construction of a development over 5-years is contrary to the NPPF which seeks to make up the shortfall of housing immediately and to boost significantly the housing supply. It has no consideration to the practicalities of building out a site, the finances involved or the prolonged disturbance to existing residents. Limiting to approximately 10 homes a year will have a huge detrimental impact on sales, contractors, financing, viability, housing delivery and the social and physical environment.
