Gilbert Scott House, Flax Bourton PROFESSIONAL PLANNING APPRAISAL
1. WHAT IS A PPA?
1.1 A PPA is a detailed appraisal of the development potential of a site by qualified
Chartered Planners. It is based on a desk-top review of the site; the relevant
planning policy; and planning history.
1.2 A planning appraisal is one of the most important and often under-rated planning
services provided to clients.
1.3 A well-researched and prepared appraisal will set out in an easy-to-read format,
the relevant opportunities and constraints applicable to a potential development
opportunity.
1.4 This planning appraisal covers all the relevant issues, with the core services as
follows:
i) Identifying planning policies relevant to a site and/or proposal;
ii)
Review of planning history;
iii) Site assessment to identify planning opportunities and constraints;
iv) Advice on development potential and principles taking into account the
constraints, opportunities, site characteristics and policy context;
v)
Potential site layouts.
1.5 The PPA report is paid for by the purchaser of the site upon completion (£700 + VAT
is added to the contract) – they then have a £700 credit to spend on planning with
the planning team if they pursue development.
