Phasing does not take into account financial constraints,local or global. As the recent economic downturn has proved, a site being classed as available, deliverable, sustainable etc doesn`t guarantee its` completion (or even commencement) within the ideal timeframe. The (now defunct) SE Plan requirement from 2009 to 2026 required 268 dwellings per year within Rother. In the year 2009/2010 just 95 were built. The uncertainty regarding the Bexhill Hastings Link Road has pushed the planned phasing back in the Bexhill area so, based on historical evidence, phasing as a planning tool clearly cannot be relied upon to deliver
