HCA Area Wide Viability Model PAS Viability Skills for Planners – Workshop B January 2011 Graeme Geddes – Planning Manager – Programmes Directorate
Area Wide Viability Model • What is it? • What’s it for? • What it does (and doesn’t do) • Key concepts used • Assumptions • How it works
The value capture pie Affordable Housing s106 Community Infrastructure Levy Other s106 How large each slice?
What is it? • A neutral tool • An “open source” enabling resource • www.homesandcommunities.co.uk/area-wide-viability-model • No default assumptions • Strategic viability testing • User Manual • HCA Transparent Viability Assumptions
Developers Require sufficient return for cost of investment and for taking on development risk Viable Developments Land owners Sufficient value to meet expectations and release land for development Planning Authorities Sufficient planning obligations to make development acceptable + CIL
What it’s for • Mixed tenure residential development • Interface with planning policy • Testing • Affordable Housing Delivery • Community Infrastructure Levy • Deliverability of • SHLAA sites • HCA Local Investment Plans
What it models • Deliverability of plans/policy • Community Infrastructure Levy • Design Standards • Affordable homes % (without public investment)

Viability - a constraint on delivery & s106 capacity Partially Functioning Markets Costs of “Regulation” Pressure on viability of land supply Planning Obligations Affordable Housing Infrastructure via S106/ CIL
Key Concepts • Land Value Capture • Affordable housing price (without grant) • Threshold Land Value • Development Typologies
Threshold Land Value • Value at which land will come forward in market • Satisfying landowner expectations • Taking account of planning policy • But how much greater than existing / alternative use? • Lack of professional consensus & guidance • RICS practice note Financial Viability in Planning • HCA Transparent viability assumptions
Area-wide viability model Works across a district Groups sites by typologies For a given set of planning policies is each typology viable or not? Evaluation of trade-offs between planning obligations
The model doesn’t • Calculate Threshold Land Values • Provide advice on assumptions • Contain default assumptions • Prevent use of wrong assumptions
The value capture pie Affordable Housing s106 Community Infrastructure Levy Other s106 How large each slice? Viable market baseline to which HCA funding adds value.
Capacity for value capture less Total construction costs, interest, fees, etc. Completed Development Value less Developer profit equals Residual Land Value(above Threshold Value) less Threshold Land Value equals Capacity for CIL / S106 Capacity for Affordable Housing
Funding gap Analysing differences between development typologies Target £000s for CIL / S106 Target % affordable housing gives Residual land value for typology where less than Assumed threshold land value difference equals Funding gap £000s to support viable residual land value
Affordable homes – no grant Understanding capacity of different development typologies Target £000s for CIL / S106 Assumed threshold land value for RLV which equalsThreshold Residual land value model “goal seeks” market baseline Capacity for affordable homes as % of private for given affordable rent / intermediate split
Core principle of model For a development site typology Is the residual land value (what the developer can pay for the land) sufficient for the landowner to release the site? (the threshold land value)
