Implications of CIL Review must be acknowleged.

The timing of the proposed CIL Review is such that the Councils must acknowledge that the outcome may have significant implications for viability.

We wish to re-confirm the deliverability of site GT13 (Norwich Rugby Club). Its allocation in the Growth Triangle Area Action Plan confirms that it is an entirely suitable and sustainable location for growth, and will deliver a significant quantum of the required housing growth. Consent has been secured for the relocation of the Rugby Club (South Norfolk Council reference number 2018/1830) and works to implement this consent are underway. Kier Living have been brought on board to deliver the housing, once the relocation of the Rugby Club is completed, which will be well within the extended Plan period.
