What is the timescale for a planning application?
An outline planning application was submitted in August 2009. This application will determine the overall format of the scheme such as the areas to be developed, the mix of uses, community benefits and infrastructure such as Sustainable Drainage Systems. The detailed issues, such as what buildings will look like and the materials they will be built out of, will be determined by a series of detailed applications as each phase is bought forward for development. This approach enables us to ensure that the development phases work together properly – such as provision of transport links, energy proposals or community facilities – and that we can be flexible to take account changing future circumstances.
