This Master Plan will guide the private sector led delivery of thesite.Key delivery milestones, monitoring and reviewThis site has been chosen not only because strategically, environmentally and consultatively itcan make a significant contribution to meeting local needs through regeneration, but alsobecause early discussions with land owners, agents and prospective developers haveencouraged the Local Planning Authority that this site can be brought forward within the firstfive years. In order to safeguard the delivery of housing within this period the followingmilestones will be adhered to:In order to expedite the delivery of development within this period the Council will work closelywith the developers and landowners to facilitate delivery, and will expect to see significant,tangible progress towards a planning application within 18 months of the date of adoption ofthe Core Strategy.

ProposedChangeReferenceCS REFERENCE CHANGE SOURCE• Immediate partnership working with LPA and stakeholders frontloading matters• A planning application accompanied by master plan and design code within 18 monthsof adoption of the Core Strategy.• A section 106 agreement will be required setting key milestones for delivery includingthat the site shall start delivering housing within 12 months of the grant of permissionand a phasing agreement setting out completions at agreed milestones movingforward.• Detailed dialogue with the landowner, developer and their agents to ascertain thecause of delay.• An update of the Strategic Housing Market Availability Assessment to identify whethermarket demand has reduced or is being met through other sources.• A further independent viability study of the site to assess its delivery.• Using the Council’s influence to try and remove any barriers identified that stand in theway of progress, such as working with statutory consultees and the community.• As a last resort, if the Council feels that the new evidence renders the siteundeliverable, a new allocation or allocations equivalent to the Strategic Allocation willbe considered through the appropriate development plan process.Failure to meet any of the above deadlines without production of compelling justification willlead to conclusion that the site is not deliverable and the site could be de-allocated in a minireviewof the Core Strategy and the site replaced with an alternative site where more certaintyexists.An independent viability review of the site will be undertaken by Wiltshire Council within twoyears to review the standards of delivery set in view of the projected recovery from therecession of 2009. This review will not be undertaken where the developer has demonstratedcommitment through delivery in the first two years of the Strategy.MAJ/14 Page 151 to 153Land at theMaltings / CentralAmend text to read:Site NamePage 25 of 70
