Submission of viability information and PAD process

It is up to the applicant (or their representative) to submit what they believe is reasonable and appropriate viability information in their particular circumstances. We would strongly recommend that this form part of a PAD process to help inform a subsequent planning application. This should enable the Council to consider whether an objective review of viability will be required as part of the planning application process. More details on consideration of viability as part of the PAD process are set out in Section 6.1. Importantly in these considerations, the nature and specific circumstances of the applicant will be disregarded, the focus being on key assumptions and unique issues arising from a specific proposal.
