Affordable Housing
Acting for a range of volume house builders and mixed-use developers, we have experience of affordable housing policies throughout the UK and, of course, are fully familiar with their impacts on commercial viability. This is an increasingly demanding aspect of the planning issues affecting residential schemes and requires experience and a full understanding of the policy basis to successfully manage its impact. Planning Potential has this extensive skill background which arises from detailed negotiations with planning and housing authorities, the successful presentation of evidence at appeal and the influencing of policy via representations and examinations in public.
In the changing climate of requirements, levels of tenure, percentage split, mix of units, HQI’s, Code Levels and Grant, our knowledge of working across many Councils and with many different Clients, can assist in streamlining the approach to delivery of development schemes.
With early recognition and a positive approach, what is considered by many as an enforced loss, can often be turned into a valuable contributor to a development. Private sector relationships we are uniquely placed to provide a strong evidence base on which to develop viable plans
and strategies, test options and promote commercially viable solutions.
