Advisory Team for Large Applications
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
Advisory Team for Large Applications
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
4. Consider planning tools
Advisory Team for Large Applications
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
Example: Gainsborough affordable housing delivery

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’?
