The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.
Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.
Northgate’s May–June 2026 engagement has ended; it should not be displayed as an open consultation. The One City Plan is a partnership framework, not a single funded construction contract.
Project locations have not yet been checked against current ward boundaries. No ward impact is inferred from a city-centre address.
Kings Moat completions are dated 1 April 2026, not a live count. A verified affordable-tenure split and delivery dates for supporting services have not been added; no shortfall is inferred.
