Will option 1 limit the opportunity to build more homes and has this been factored into VfM?
Yes, this is reflected in the ‘Western section options comparison’ presented on page 15 of the brochure and the economic appraisal results presented in Section 10 of the Analysis of shortlisted options document. For Option 1, modelling indicates that it would not be able to accommodate full Garden Communities development. While a maximum level of development has not been determined, a reduction to the dependent development benefits for Options 1Aand 1B has therefore been applied to reflect these limitations.
