Parkinson Real Estate have recently won the commission to exclusively support Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council with the Provision of Specialist Advice to Review Viability Appraisals Associated with Planning Applications.
This will involve advising Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council about the appropriate planning gain contributions that developments in the area should contribute for designations such as Education, Highways, Public Open Space and Affordable Housing.
Mark Smith, Director Valuation Advisory said;
“We have been advising developers on their S106 liabilities for a considerable amount of time, as well as advising local authorities of the north west on various valuation & development matters, so it was great to formalise this commission. I’m encouraged that we weren’t the lowest price on the tender list, but ranked first on the quality aspect of our submission and experience.
It’s is imperative that developers and local authorities get the right advice, planning policies dictate that these processes often depart from traditional valuation methodologies so the experience of the valuer is paramount.”
If you require any advice relating to planning gain contributions or liabilities, please contact Mark Smith
