Needs and Supply
Local Councils have a responsibility to deliver development which meets the needs of the community. This involves identifying land which can deliver a sufficient supply and mix of homes across a five year period, employment land which can facilitate jobs and economic growth across an area, as well as other more specific needs, such as housing for specific groups such as disabled/older people, students, and more.
​
Demonstrating how a development meets the needs and contributes towards a local council's supply of housing or economic land can be the keystone in unlocking a development. Viable Placemaking are a planning consultancy with a specialism in development economics and our team have extensive experience in statistical analysis, needs/supply assessments, and evaluating a developments social and economic impact.
