McCutcheon Halley advises all clients to start their project with a comprehensive desktop Site Appraisal. Our Site Appraisals identify both the opportunities and constraints associated with your project that will allow you to make an informed decision on the strategy to adopt. We will visit your site and review the relevant information sources. Following an analytic review of the site, we will always provide you with an impartial and honest appraisal and advise you on the best strategy.

We don’t just stop there, if we don’t think that your project is worth pursuing, our commercially minded team of planners will advise on alternative uses where feasible.

Our Site Appraisal reports include information on:

• Site context
• Planning history
• National Regional and local planning policies relevant to the site
• An emerging policy that may impact your proposal
• Infrastructure and environmental constraints and opportunities
• Planning precedence
• Potential development contributions
• Potential for alternative uses
• Identify design team requirements to advance the specific project
• Strategy for the way forward
