Michael Parkes provide a comprehensive service to local authorities and developers on large scale or complex planning applications. From the germ of a proposal to signing a S106 Agreement, we can provide staff and expertise to Planning Authorities and interface directly with developers and landowners. For developers and landowners, we can quickly develop an interface, or governance, system with a planning authority to facilitate swift and proactive responses. VALUATION/AFFORDABILITY NEGOTIATIONSFor all large applications there is a need to fully understand the finances of a development and Michael Parkes can offer local authorities industry standard analysis to enable the authority to conduct its own negotiations.SIMPLIFIED INTERACTIVE IMPLEMENTATION MODELTo aid further understanding of the finances of more complex developments, what their costs are and what they can produce, we have developed our own financial Model that can be adapted to any proposal.It can be used by the planning authority or both parties to guide the preparation of SPD, AAPs and Design Briefs, illustrating what is practical and deliverable. It is much better to be realistic at this stage than have unrealistic expectations that result in later conflicts between applicants and local planning authorities. Since it is interactive, different ideas and combinations of ideas can be fed in to see what the financial impact is. This quickly highlights what public works and benefits are affordable.
