A planning feasibility assessment tests whether a site can accommodate your proposed development. We help define a site brief, compare options and identify the planning questions that deserve detailed investigation.
When this service helps
You have a development or land-use objective but need help evaluating potential sites. We bring a planning perspective to the search and early comparison process.
Build a clear brief
We begin with the activity, preferred setting, scale and practical requirements. Your priorities help us identify the planning questions that should be asked of each option.
Agree the non-negotiables first. For example, is the aim a particular area, a specific use, room for later expansion or a proposal that can proceed with limited changes? A focused brief makes the comparison more useful.
Compare the options
We can screen sites against the brief, identify likely planning constraints and recommend which options warrant deeper investigation. The output should make the differences clear: what appears promising, what remains uncertain and what information is needed next.
What to send us
Your intended use, broad location preferences, required scale and any shortlisted properties. If you are at an early stage, a written outline of the idea is enough to begin.
We agree the extent of the site search and planning assessment with you. Market valuation, property transactions and specialist technical investigations are separate workstreams.
