would work with the Council to bring sites forward in a manner which suited both parties, the commercial realities of delivering a site mean that restricting a delivery on site to only 50 dwellings over a five-year period is not feasible. Furthermore, there seems to be no evidence base which supports this figure as to why at this point there is an impact and whether it is significantly increased or decreased from a site of 40 or 60 dwellings.
It would clearly not be viable for a national house builder to build out schemes at a rate of 10 dwellings per annum in order to comply with this policy as there is inevitably an additional resource from being on a site for such an elongated period.
Site H21 at Barford is allocated for 60 dwellings and with average build rates of 30 dwellings per year this could realistically be built in between 2 2.5 years.
