Sounds like that developer has some negotiating to do Katie, in order to make the development viable.
A new road is needed and they are a mere £80m short !!.
This should be reflected in the land value. It’s standard practice for developers to agree to buy land conditional on receipt of satisfactory planning permission. I have drafted and exchanged many such contracts, This evidently isn’t a satisfactory permission so the landowner, developer and planners need to talk. The landowner will want to sell, the developer will want to build and sell, and the planning authority will have a housing quota to meet.
