Development Viability Studies for Local Authorities
PPS3 acknowledges the importance of Local Planning Authorities considering development economics in setting targets for the amount of affordable housing to be provided. The targets should reflect an assessment of the likely economic viability of housing land taking into account risks to delivery and drawing on informed assessments of the likely levels of finance available for affordable housing, including public subsidy and the level of developer contribution that can reasonably be
secured.
Adams Integra is a market leader in undertaking Economic Development Viability Studies.
Our work in this area has been subjected to LDF Core Strategy Examination and Local Plan Inquiry scrutiny.
Through our work we are able to reinforce a Local Authoritys wider policy approach by examining tenure mix, subsidy alternatives (both public and developer led) and the wider planning infrastructure burdens on site(s).
As a market leader in this area we have developed our own model and methodology which provides a robust evidence base for Local Authorities. Our practice of close working with clients ensures a detailed review of
affordable housing policy options that ultimately informs their development and final application of policy.
