What is Planning Feasibility?

Planning feasibility is the process of determining whether a proposed development is likely to gain approval from relevant authorities, such as local councils and planning bodies. It involves evaluating various factors, including land use policies, environmental impact, community needs, and infrastructure requirements, to gauge the likelihood of success for a planning application.

Conducting a thorough feasibility study early in the planning process helps to:

  • Identify potential obstacles: A feasibility assessment uncovers challenges that may arise during the planning approval process, whether related to zoning, land use, environmental considerations, or community concerns.
  • Maximise development potential: Understanding local policies and planning guidelines enables developers to refine their proposals, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and align with broader development goals.
  • Save time and resources: A well-conducted feasibility study can prevent costly delays by addressing potential issues before they become major roadblocks during the formal planning stage.

At DARA Planning, we specialise in taking the guesswork out of development. Our team of experts provides comprehensive planning feasibility services designed to give our clients a clear understanding of their project's viability. We offer:

  • In-depth Site Analysis
    Every project begins with a thorough site assessment, evaluating its location, history, and potential. Our team examines local development policies, zoning restrictions, and land use regulations to identify the key opportunities and challenges that could impact the planning process.
  • Knowledge-Based Solutions
    Our approach is driven by deep knowledge and expertise in urban regeneration, sustainable development, and long-term planning. We use this knowledge to provide innovative solutions and ensure that developments can adapt to future requirements.
  • Stakeholder Engagement
    At DARA Planning, we understand that the success of any project depends on more than just meeting regulations—it’s about working closely with stakeholders. Whether engaging with local authorities, communities, or environmental groups, we help navigate any complexities to ensure a smooth and successful approval process.
  • Environmental and Community Focus
    We place community and environmental sustainability at the heart of all of our planning strategies. Our feasibility studies consider the broader impact of projects, ensuring that developments contribute positively to the environment and the communities they serve. Our emphasis on long-term sustainability increases the likelihood of approval and helps to future-proof developments.

At DARA Planning, we know that every project has incredible potential. By working closely with our clients, we help shape their visions into developments that will benefit both the client and the wider community.
