Most of this policy is sound and overall aims are supported. However, for CP2(a) refer to comments on para 2.15. CP2(b) requires provision of employment/infrastructure development to be delivered before or at the same time as the housing. Potential costs like wider infrastructure/employment may be uneconomic to deliver until housing and other higher value uses have been delivered. Concern that CP2(b) may undermine viability of large scale redevelopment because of punitive upfront costs. Employment/infrastructure can be delivered as part of s106 or CIL. LPA should frame the policy to allow flexibility and not frontload punitive cost on development.
