Viability and Policy

Renowned for providing market-leading expertise in financial viability in development across all sectors, we help clients unlock the full potential of development sites and make informed decisions through insightful analysis and strategic advice.

Our financial viability assessments (FVAs) give public sector bodies, developers, and investors clear and thorough analysis of project profitability. This supports alignment with affordable housing policies while addressing the complex interplay of legal, economic and market factors.

We offer advisory services regarding the feasibility of proposed schemes and any necessary review mechanisms. We also partner with solicitors on review mechanisms and the formulation of viability provisions within Section 106 agreements.

As recognised specialists in this area, we regularly serve as expert witnesses at planning appeals, specifically addressing issues related to viability in planning, preparing and reviewing viability assessments for both Local Authorities and private stakeholders.

Our expertise includes conducting feasibility studies to ensure that development plans comply with all planning requirements. Furthermore, our masterplan viability services rigorously evaluate large-scale projects, focusing on long-term sustainability and alignment with community and stakeholder goals.

Long-term involvement in planning viability allows us to deliver precise and insightful evaluations based on both current and emerging trends. With a rich foundation of past reviews, we facilitate swift and thorough comprehension of projects, markets, and diverse development models.
