We need to a strong and clear basis for the plan but one which can also adapt to changing conditions. Projects will need to adjust to the changing property market, economic and financial conditions.

A key element of the approach to delivering this complex Plan will be to not only create a robust and clear planning basis, but also to recognise the need for flexibility of decision-making throughout the delivery and implementation timescales. Such flexibility will be vital for projects to adapt and adjust to changing property market, economic and financial conditions. It will also be necessary to be able to accommodate changing trends and lifestyles over the delivery period and embrace the opportunity for new approaches, building forms and styles, construction and environmental standards etc to come to the fore.
