Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: The alternative to achieving the future acquisition of the land by a negotiated agreement provided by the proposed option agreement would be to request the local planning authority to acquire the land by compulsory purchase to support the delivery of its local plan. This route would have created greater uncertainty, added additional cost to the project, and resulted in significant delays thereby negatively impacting the project. Not acquiring the land at all would have rendered the scheme undeliverable.
