Development Appraisals

A detailed financial appraisal is a vital part of any development to ensure your project is financially viable. Ashton Planning & Development can assist by appraising the site for all types of development proposals and undertake a feasibility study for your project.

Along with the technical constraints of a site it is also important to factor in the financial impacts of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as well as s.106 contributions. As well as advising on the financial implications we can also assist with negotiations to try and reduce or mitigate these costs with Local Authorities.

Contract Negotiations

There are a variety of different contracts that can be encountered during any development project and we can assist with the negotiations, including:

  • Conditional & unconditional contracts

  • Option agreements

  • Promotion agreements

  • Land and Build contracts

 
 

Affordable Housing

There is an ever increasing demand for affordable housing across the UK creating opportunities for landowners and contractors. This can be on allocated sites with or without planning consent or on land outside of the development boundary, potentially even on sites that have previously been refused planning consent.

By working closely with Local Authorities and Registered Social Landlords we can unlock your sites development potential.

Strategic Land Promotion

We can assist landowners with strategic promotion of their land through the planning system. Along with assisting landowners directly we can advise on working with developers via promotion and option agreements.
