Description
The contract does not have a general right to extend its overall term, but there is a specific mechanism to extend the key longstop date. This date may be extended, but only if the Promoter (Trafford Council) agrees in writing. If the Development Partner believes the Project cannot be Fully Developed by the Longstop Date, it may submit a Viability Report. As part of this process, the parties may agree amendments to the Mandatory Requirements, and/or an extension to the Approvals Gateway Notice Longstop Date.
