Finally on this, a large application like that which a planning authority may give a ten-year permission for would obviously have a phasing plan. Within that phasing plan, it would be stipulated that 400 homes would be completed within the first two years and some infrastructure by the third year. Therefore, while it might be for a large application of ten years, effectively there are timelimits within that. It would be broken up. It would be inconceivable in housing to have a ten-year permission and there would not be phasing within that.
