Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18048

Received: 05/03/2018

Respondent: Gerald Downey

Representation Summary:

Delivery forecast of 1-5 years is not feasible given previous representation 15459 from Thames Water (Mr Mark Matthews [6089]) who have "concerns over wastewater Services in relation to this site. Specifically, the wastewater network capacity in this area is unlikely to be able to support the demand anticipated from this development. ...It is important not to under estimate the time required to deliver necessary infrastructure. ...local network upgrades can take between 18months - 3 years to design and deliver". Has this (+other) turnaround times been taken into account? I question if this site meets the NPPF definition of "deliverable".
