The document discusses viability in Plymouth, United Kingdom. It mentions the Community Infrastructure Levy and Plymouth Plan, which includes a Land Availability Assessment. It also discusses a current planning application for a marine industries campus called South Yard, which faces a £28 million funding gap but a viability assessment still needs to be done. It concludes with reminding the audience to "wake up" and provides a brief quiz.

8. CIL Charging Schedule
 Review about to get underway in tandem with
production of Pt 2 of Plymouth Plan
 Looking at greater geographical differentiation in
rates – political impetus
 Sales values in Plymouth – source Land Registry

9. CIL Charging Schedule
 Also considering reintroducing some ideas we
abandoned first time round as latest CIL
amendment regulations now provide for different
rates on basis of scale:
- Lower rates for tall buildings
(higher build costs)?
- Higher rates for smaller developments not
required to provide affordable housing (therefore
more viable and able to pay CIL, but higher build
costs as fewer economies of scale)?

11. Plymouth Plan Pt 2
 Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA + ELR)

12. Developments on the ground –
South Yard
 Current Outline Planning
Application for a Marine Industries
Production Campus

13. South Yard
 Land currently in MOD ownership
 PCC the planning applicant
 To be transferred to PCC in stages commencing April 2015
 Chock full of Listed Buildings (‘liabilities’)
 Many environmental constraints
 ‘Completely unviable’

14. South Yard
 £28 million funding gap
 But still a viability exercise to go
through - if we don’t we
weaken the case for asking
others to open the books, and
thus our ability to seek to
mitigate the impacts of other
developments.
