A property or land planning appraisal is an important stage in the delivery of a successful development scheme. A planning appraisal sets out the planning background to a site and identifies all opportunities and constraints to inform a view on a site’s development potential.
Our appraisals are well researched and prepared and comprise:
- Site visit to view both the site and understand its context
- Review of planning history
- Identification of existing lawful uses on the site
- Planning policy
- Review of statutory designations on and close to the site which could affect development potential
- Review of relevant application and appeal decisions
An appraisal can flag up issues affecting a site allowing these to be addressed early on in the planning process. Our appraisals assess a site’s development potential in the short, medium and long term, and include an evaluation of risk, at Batcheller Monkhouse we will always provide an honest opinion on the likelihood of obtaining planning permission, along with advice on planning strategy to give your project the best chance of success at the application stage.
