Viability Appraisals
Where the Council receives a viability appraisal in relation to Policy SEC1 Part 2b not being met, this will require an assessment. The developer must pay for the Council’s Viability Advisor undertaking this assessment. These costs are a fixed charge. Where an applicant’s viability case relies on specialist information outside of the whole plan viability evidence base, such as detailed cost or engineering reports, the Council may require further specialist advice to review them. An additional fee to cover those costs may apply.
- Stage 1 Initial Assessment - £507 inclusive of VAT
- Stage 2 - You will be notified if your viability assessment is selected for Stage 2. Selection for Stage 2 is at the Council’s discretion.
