RICS Valuation Standards (Red Book), PPG Viability

Part of Financial Intelligence

Use these tools to understand the financial side of your project — what fees you'll pay, whether the scheme is viable, what CIL/S106 might cost, and whether your land value assumptions stack up. Essential for go/no-go decisions.

Guidance to help you prepare — not formal planning advice. Check the current policy text and your council's local plan before relying on it.
