Local Plan Viability - Plan Making

Local Plan Viability - Plan Making

We carry out strategic development viability assessments for local authorities across the UK, providing the evidence needed to support sound Local Plans and policy approaches that comply with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) on viability.

Our robust, evidence‑based local plan viability studies are delivered collaboratively, working closely with our clients to ensure the assessment process is transparent, inclusive, and aligned with local priorities. We support our clients at every stage of plan-making — from early inception and testing of initial policy options through to preferred, submission, and Examination in Public stages — helping to justify policy choices and demonstrate deliverability. This continuous partnership approach ensures that cumulative policy requirements remain both realistic and capable of supporting sustainable growth.

For further information or an informal chat, please contact us.
