Sensitivity Analysis - Affordable Housing Impact
Land Value by Affordable Housing Percentage
NPPF Policy DM5 Compliance Guidance
Development should be 'viable' for planning purposes where it can deliver a positive return to the developer while still meeting planning obligations. Key considerations:
- Residual land value should exceed the existing use value (EUV) plus appropriate premium
- Premium typically 10-25x EUV for transition to residential use
- Consider site-specific constraints and remediation requirements
- Affordable housing requirements must be tested within viability appraisal
- Section 106 and CIL costs must be factored into viability assessment
