Reference is made under paragraph 3.3.4 to compulsory purchase powers and again at paragraph 3.10. The Issues and Options for the Area Action Plan do not currently provide any insight into how delivery will occur and over what time period. Most of the options that are proposed would indicate that some degree of compulsory purchase is envisaged. This being the case there has to be a section within the document that explains the process, how funding will be achieved and a delivery programme. Often it is necessary to achieve a planning permission prior to pursuing compulsory purchase powers and depending on the circumstances a regeneration scheme of this scale could require Environmental Impact Assessment. It may then be necessary to participate in an inquiry to review the compulsory purchase order and then find funding to purchase the site and begin. Much of the site is industrial and may require costly mitigation. This process and the nature of the problems could take several years and be very costly - possibly to the extent that it is not viable. The Area Action Plan therefore needs to fully review the processes and set out how delivery will be achieved. It may be necessary for the Council to explain how it will fund the regeneration, particularly any pump priming initiatives. It is our view that the complexity of this process will require that the proposals are phased toward the end of the Plan period and this needs to be reflected in the emerging Core Strategy.
