This review has been carried out using well recognised residual valuation techniques by consultants highly experienced in the preparation of strategic viability assessments for local authority policy development as well providing as site-specific viability reviews and advice. In order to carry out this type of assessment a large number of assumptions are required alongside the consideration of a range of a large quantity of information which rarely fits all eventualities. Small changes in assumptions can have a significant individual or cumulative effect on the residual land value (RLV) or other surplus / deficit output generated – the indicative surpluses (or other outcomes) generated by the development appraisals for this review will not necessarily reflect site specific circumstances.
