Feasibility studies
Development capacity and commercial feasibility
Scope of expertise
We assess development capacity and potential uses against planning requirements, site conditions and market demand. Development options are compared by expected costs and revenues, architectural quality and their impact on the surrounding area.
Development capacity
Assessing what the current planning framework, architectural principles and site conditions allow. We distinguish options within the current framework from scenarios that require a planning amendment. The assessment also considers access, infrastructure, heritage protection and environmental constraints at a depth appropriate to the brief.
