We pride ourselves on being specialists in assessing the financial viability of projects which require an affordable housing obligation. We use planning practice guidance, council policies, planning appeals and industry standard good practice to provide evidence-based financial viability assessments either to support an applicant’s planning applications or to support a council in ensuring their affordable housing planning obligations are achievable and viable.
Unlike many viability consultants who submit a technical financial viability assessment, KCL works with our clients to understand why the scheme does not work and provides justification to the local planning authority outlining the issues as to why the scheme cannot support a policy compliant scheme. KCL offers a two-stage process for our private clients; stage 1 to prepare a basic review to ensure there is a case and stage 2 a detailed evidenced based viability submission.
