  1. Developing a Vision: Unlocking Stalled SchemesIan White Southern Coordinator

  2. What is ATLAS • Advisory Team for Large Applications • Provides support on large scale projects (500+ units) when requested by Local Authorities • Provides impartial advice on large scale projects for benefit of all stakeholders

  3. Example: Gainsborough urban extension • PPA used to drive project • Agreed vision & objectives • Effective project management • Structured and collaborative approach to resolving key issues including viability • High level corporate support from council

  4. Key stages in addressing a viability gap Be clear on vision & objectives 1. Test viability & identify extent of financial barriers 2. Explore, test and agree potential solutions 3. Agree planning tools to deliver solution 4. Implementation & delivery

  5. 1. Vision and Objectives • Communicates expected outcomes • Drives forward a project • Should have a good evidence base • Good baseline to test outputs from viability against

  6. 4. Consider planning tools Contingent Deferred Obligations • Potential where growth is expected • Requires open book / acceptable valuation approach and reappraisals over time • Retains “total” / full contributions required…...but acknowledges reduced “initial” contributions based on current day viability, with “deferred” future payments related to changes in values over time

  7. Example: Gainsborough affordable housing delivery • Viability tested at bottom of economic cycle, therefore uplift expected • Overall affordable housing parameters set at min. 10% & max. 25% • 5% AH accepted in phase 2 to enable delivery of critical infrastructure • Viability to be independently reviewed following delivery of every 200 units

  8. Further Information The ATLAS Guide: Planning for Large Scale Development www.atlasplanning.com Responsive Planning Practices for Changing Economic Times

  9. Discussion • Could agreeing an upfront vision be perceived as pre-determining the outcome? • To what extent can the visioning stage speed up consideration of an application? • How can developers be ‘tied’ to the vision once agreed? • Can a vision be defined in pictures rather than words • Do vision statements need to be distinctive as opposed to ‘any place any where’?
