Development Viability in Planning - guidance for applicants
Planning system update
Our new planning system is now live. We are currently managing a high volume of applications, consultation responses, and local land charges search requests as we complete the transition to the new system.
If you notice any issues while using the service, please let us know. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
We have prepared a guidance document for applicants and developers on financial viability matters. The guidance explains what a viability assessment is and details what assessments should include. Our affordable housing priorities are also included in this document.
This guidance provides clarity to applicants when preparing planning applications and will help to streamline the decision-making process. The document was published in July 2024.
