What are the key delivery challenges?

• Delivering Viable Development - Projects need to be financially viable and able to overcome constraints such as flood risk, contaminated land, or protected open space.
• Infrastructure and Land Availability - Development requires well-located land and investment in supporting infrastructure, from transport to utilities
• Landowner and Developer Priorities - Some sites remain stalled as owners wait for better market conditions or funding opportunities.

How can the Local Plan help?

• Identifying Suitable Land for Development - Considering demand, accessibility, and site constraints
• Setting Clear Policies - To reduce uncertainty and support investment.
• Prioritising Infrastructure Improvements - To unlock development potential.
• Supporting funding bids - For regeneration and infrastructure improvements.
