💰 Financial Intelligence

Planning fees, viability assessment, build costs, development appraisal, CIL/S106, and land value.

💡
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.
🧾

Fee Calculator Popular

Calculate planning application fees under the 2023 fee regulations — covers all application types with automatic banding, exemptions, and concession checks.

When to use: Use before submitting any planning application. The fee depends on the type and scale of development. Get it wrong and you'll be invalidated.

📈

Viability Assessment

Residual land value appraisal — revenue projection, cost inputs, benchmark land value, and Section 106 negotiation headroom analysis.

When to use: Use when an LPA requires affordable housing or S106 contributions and you believe these make the scheme unviable. Also useful for land purchase decisions.

🏗️

Build Cost Estimator New

BCIS-style construction cost estimation — regional adjustments, abnormal cost factors, professional fee percentages, and contingency allowances.

When to use: Use when preparing a development appraisal or viability assessment. Also useful for budgeting before instructing architects or quantity surveyors.
📜 RICS New Rules of Measurement (NRM)
📊

Dev Appraisal New

Residual development appraisal — Gross Development Value, total costs, developer profit margin, and viability traffic-light assessment.

When to use: Use for any development project to test financial viability before committing. Essential for land purchase decisions and investor presentations.
📜 RICS Valuation Standards (Red Book), PPG Viability
🏛️

CIL & S106

Community Infrastructure Levy liability calculation, Section 106 obligation estimation, exemptions (self-build, social housing), and relief eligibility.

When to use: Use when your development creates new floorspace. CIL applies in many authorities. S106 may apply for affordable housing, highways, or education contributions.
📜 CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended), TCPA Section 106
🏠

Affordable Housing

NPPF affordable housing requirements — First Homes (25%), tenure split, transfer values, Vacant Building Credit calculation, and viability-based challenge routes.

When to use: Use when your scheme triggers the affordable housing threshold (usually 10+ units or sites over 0.5ha). Check your local plan for the specific percentage.
📜 NPPF Paragraphs 63-65, First Homes PPG
🗺️

Land Value

Land valuation methods — MHCLG/VOA benchmarks, Existing Use Value plus premium, hope value assessment, marriage value, and comparable analysis.

When to use: Use when buying land, negotiating option agreements, or challenging benchmark land values in viability assessments.

💷

CIL Exemption Checker New

Check if your development qualifies for CIL exemptions: self-build, social housing, residential annexe, minor development, or charitable relief.

When to use: Use before submitting your application. CIL exemptions must be claimed BEFORE starting work — miss this and you lose the exemption permanently.
📜 CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended), Reg 42-54D
💰

Total Project Cost New Popular

Estimate the complete cost of your planning project — application fees, consultant fees, survey costs, CIL, and building regulations. No surprises.

When to use: Use at the start of your project to understand the total budget needed. Helps avoid nasty surprises with hidden costs.
📜 Planning fee regulations, RICS fee guidance
⚖️

S106 Negotiator

Heads of terms, the three obligation tests, and negotiation strategy for Section 106 planning obligations and contributions.

When to use: Use where the LPA seeks planning obligations — affordable housing, contributions or on-site provision — and you want to test or negotiate them.
