Local Plan and CIL Viability Report

Viability testing is an important part of the plan-making process. National policy and guidance requires Local Plans to be deliverable, whilst ensuring that the maximum benefits in the public interest have been secured. 

The Council's viability report is available to download below. Due to the file size of the report, two versions are provided - with appendices and without.
