OP have you done a budget? How is your pot invested? If it's all in bonds then even 3.5% drawdown might be optimistic for the next decade. Do you have a cash buffer to protect against stock/bond market down turns or any sources of guaranteed income? Do you have any debt or a mortgage? Your plan might work, but you haven't given us enough information to comment sensibly.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0

My thoughts are to start drawing down on my DC pension from 56, utilising my annual 0% tax banding so drawing £12570.00 plus taking 25% as the tax free amount (£4190) giving a annual income of £16760.00 to mitigate paying tax until my state pension kicks in at 66.
I would of thought it would be 670
