have concerns over availability and timing of funding
Our concern is that it takes a considerable amount of time to make funding available for new development and this is holding back sites from being released.
Furthermore, it cannot be guaranteed that the funding which is provided now will continue to be available during the plan period.
In this context it is important to ensure that there is a balance portfolio of housing provided, some of which will be less dependent upon intervention funding. It is for this reason that we endorse a higher proportion of development on greenfield/Green Belt sites that is currently in the plan (see response to Question 3).
