Preferred Site Allocations 2018
Representation ID: 19683
Received: 12/03/2018
Respondent: Catesby Estates Plc.
Agent: Strutt & Parker LLP
Representation Summary:
The proposed allocation includes 1,732 dwellings (28% of housing delivery) on brownfield sites. Although this aspiration is supported, there is a difference on build
out rates on brownfield sites compared to greenfield. In the Lichfield's report "Start to
Finish, How Quickly do Large-Scale Housing Sites Deliver?" (November 2016) it is
shown that once started, large scale greenfield sites do deliver homes at a more rapid
rate than their brownfield equivalents, on average 50% quicker. Again, the housing
trajectory should reflect this.
