Gatehouse consultation I asked when this was proposal was likely to have its first house ready for occupation. This is important as it is when building starts/dwellings are ready for occupation that SANGS (somewhere nearby) must exist. I was told that  the earliest this development could possibly commence would be some 18months/two years away. SANGS: I asked why there was no SANGS as part ...

I contacted Natural England the other day and asked them this: What has to come first? New houses or SANGS? this is what they said; In answer to your question – SANGs must come first, as they are an avoidance measure for recreational pressure on Annex 1 ground nesting birds under the Habitat Regulations 2010 (amended 2012) for any additional new housing.

Just spoken on the phone with someone at Redrow Homes. Their schedule is for the show home to be ready end August/Sepember and the first new homes to be completed by end of Autumn/Winter 2015. Schedule being met is subject to adverse weather conditions and any other unforeseen delays. But they will endeavour to have show home ready by Autumn of this year.

Ahem! Provided legislation stays as it presently is it won't all be built on will it?
