Machine-generated summary

Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract for independent assessment of financial viability appraisals submitted in support of planning applications and appeals. The service covers review of developer financial appraisals for residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes, including appraisals at appeal or pre-application stages and expert witness appearances at appeal. Assessments take account of national and local planning policy, market conditions and site-specific issues to help secure appropriate planning gain. The contract was awarded to Lambert Smith Hampton Group Limited on 2026-08-27. The actual value of spend depends on the work actually commissioned, since assessments are requested where a planning applicant seeks an independent review of their appraisal.

Description

The service requirement is for the provision of independent assessment of financial viability reports in support of planning applications and appeals. Planning and Development in the PP&S directorate are responsible for making decisions on submitted planning applications as well as defending appeals across the City Council's administrative area. The planning applications requiring assessment include a wide variety of submissions of varying scales including residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes. Assessment of appraisals at appeal or pre-application stages together with appearing as an expert witness at appeal may also be required. As part of ensuring that an appropriate level of planning gain is secured, an independent assessment of the developer's financial appraisal is often required. These assessments should take account of existing planning policy (national and local), prevailing market conditions and any site-specific issues. Actual value of spend under this contract will be dictated by actual work commissioned is subject to demand i.e. where a planning applicant requests an independent assessment of their financial appraisal.
