Viability Assessment of the Daventry District Part 2 Local Plan

Description

The National Planning Policy Framework requires local planning authorities to give consideration 'to viability and costs in plan-making and decision-taking'. It is important that the Part 2 Local Plan is deliverable and in doing so be based on up-to-date and robust evidence in order to be sound. Daventry District Council is looking to appoint a consultant to gather robust evidence of viability of the Part 2 Local Plan. The study will involve assessing the policies and site allocations to ensure that after taking account of policy requirements, land values should be sufficient to "provide competitive returns to a willing landowner and willing developer".
