COMPUTER CENTRE, DERBY ROAD, KEGWORTH Build-out rate Availability Suitability Achievability Viability Other Site has planning permission and is therefore considered available Site has planning permission and is therefore considered suitable A November 2012 site visit observed that construction work had begun in earnest. Although the very early activity has been fast on the site, it is reasonable to expect this to slow somewhat as other sites come on stream in the village.

DARCEY PARK (LAND NORTH OF ASHBY ROAD), IBSTOCK Build-out rate Availability Suitability Achievability Viability Other Site has planning permission and is therefore considered available Site has planning permission and is therefore considered suitable 34 units were completed during 2011/12, and 37 were under construction as of March 2012; 52 of the site’s yield of 204 were observed as complete during a November 2012 site visit. Given that 25% of the scheme was complete c.18 months after its start, it is reasonable to assume it will be complete during the five year period and at a relatively stable annual completion rate. Site is under construction and is therefore considered viable 34 dwellings were completed on this site prior to March 2012. Planning permission has been granted for 191 dwellings immediately adjacent this site; while Ibstock’s housing market has not been tested on completions of this scale so it is difficult to estimate the build-out rates on these schemes as a result, but the fast activity on the 204 dwelling scheme suggests that Ibstock has a strong housing market

Completions are predicted to fall off at the end of the 5 year period as a strategic scheme (“South of Park Lane, Castle Donington”) is expected to come on stream at around this point – the housebuilders have also advised the Council of the prospective likely rates for this second, larger scheme out
