 Special thanks to Robert Plumb and Dennis Silverwood for their tremendous amount of work  and time they have put into leading up to the enquiry and attending to present our case.

 Taylor Wimpey have agreed to provide 50% affordable housing and this means that, in their  terms, the  project is marginally non-viable (less than £2M gross profit) but they are  prepared to ‘swallow the loss’!!
