Flats plan for Preston football pub site would be ‘unviable’ if affordable housing was included warns developer
An independent viability assessment, to be presented to the committee this week, says its calculations"demonstrate the need for the local planning authority to consider flexing their policy requirements to support the delivery of the proposed scheme.
But the report says under current rules the scheme would be unviable in the main"due to the relatively low values achievable within the city and the unprecedented increase in construction costs."Planning officers who have examined the independent assessment and agree with the findings.
To meet rules over affordable housing ratios, the Sumners site would have had to include 27 low cost homes out of 90. The developers would also have had to make a contribution of £23,161 towards one school place in the area.In total eight letters of objection have been received by the council. Concerns over noise, traffic safety, congestion, insufficient parking, impact on neighbours and also on a wildlife corridor adjoining the site were raised.
