Boosting Development Viability

Our latest paper, Boosting Development Viability, explores the growing viability crisis facing development across the UK. The paper examines the combination of market, tax and regulatory pressures driving this issue, including higher interest rates, rising construction costs and delays linked to the Building Safety Regulator. It highlights the risks this poses to major government priorities such as housing delivery, regeneration and decarbonisation. The paper also sets out clear recommendations to restore confidence and unlock growth, including improving tax and regulatory stability, accelerating the planning process, supporting innovation and removing unnecessary costs that restrict new development.
