Any delay in the land transfer will cause a knock-on delay to this project. Because the Town Council has no control over the speed of transfer of land ownership; we have chosen to cover the worst-case scenario by setting a long extension period. | £345,000 | 25 Mar 2026standstill to 9 Apr 2026 | Standstill |
