1.0 Introduction and Instructions

 1.1   S106 Affordable Housing (Hampshire) Ltd has been instructed by Watercrown
       Ltd to prepare a development viability assessment to determine the viable
       level of affordable housing provision which can be funded from the proposed
       extension to the PDR development at Rosa, Mulberry Business Park providing
       11no apartments.

 1.2   The report has been prepared by Simon Corp, I have a BSc (Hons) in
       Residential Development from Nottingham Trent University and 28 years
       experience in affordable housing development, most of this time was spent
       working for Registered Providers developing affordable housing projects
       including Aldwyck Housing Group, Raglan Housing Group now Stonewater
       and Origin Housing Group. I am a Director of S106 Affordable Housing
       (Hampshire) Ltd a specialist practice providing viability, development and
       affordable housing consultancy services.

 1.3   The purpose of the study is to set out the policy background, development
       details, viability and cost issues and make a case for the level of affordable
       housing provision the development can viably sustain. Our methodology will
       be to prepare a residual valuation for the proposed scheme and compare the
       resultant value with the benchmark existing use land value, if the residual
       land value is above the benchmark land value the development is considered
       to be viable.

 1.4   The appraisal has been carried out using the HCA (now Homes England)
       Development Appraisal Toolkit (DAT), where information is not available any
       assumptions made are either in line with industry norms or the default
       settings of the toolkit.

 1.5   The updated NPPF and Planning Practice Guidance (Viability) states that an
       applicant must make a case why a viability assessment is required and a
       viability assessment should refer back to the viability assumptions adopted at
       plan making stage. The council instructed GL Hearn in December 2012 to
       provide a viability assessment forming part of the evidence base for the
       Delivery Development Plan and we assume this viability evidence will
       underpin the affordable housing requirements in the borough. In common
       with all borough wide viability assessments the appraisals are based on a
       range of development typologies and appraisal assumptions and therefore a
       scheme specific viability assessment is required to compare the site specific
       circumstances with the assumptions adopted in the Local Plan viability
       assessment.

 1.6 This report has been undertaken with objectivity, impartiality, without
     interference and this instruction does not result in any conflict of interest.

related fees nor have any contingent fees have been agreed.

2.0    Executive Summary

 2.1   The existing property is a two storey office building with a gross floor area of
       1731m2 granted planning consent for conversion into 34no residential
       dwellings under permitted development rights in July 2019. The current
       proposal is to add an additional floor to the building to provide an additional
       11no apartments.

 2.2    The Wokingham Core Strategy was adopted in 2010 and policy CP5 states
       that sites providing 5 or more net dwellings should where viable provide up
       to 50% affordable housing. The PDR element of the development was
       granted consent without an affordable housing requirement but the
       extension scheme will be subject to the requirement. A policy compliant level
       of provision will equate to 5.5 units which we have rounded down to 5no
       dwellings, although we note the minimum level of provision for a
       development on previously developed land is set out in the policy at 30%. We
       have assumed the maximum policy level of affordable housing would need to
       be delivered as 3no affordable rent and 2no shared ownership dwellings.

 2.3   To assess the viability of the development the standard practice will be to
       appraise the proposed scheme on a residual valuation basis and compare the
       resultant land value with the benchmark existing land value on either an
       existing use plus premium or alternative use basis. The PDR and newbuild
       elements of the scheme will effectively be implemented as one overall
       development and so the appropriate methodology will to include both the
       conversion and newbuild elements of the scheme in a single combined
       appraisal to reflect how the site would be developed and benchmark the
       viability against the existing use value of the building as offices. We provided
       the viability evidence for the planning appeal on the nearby scheme at Ilex
       which was assessed on the same basis and the methodology was accepted as
       common ground in the appeal and the approach is in line with the Planning
       Practice Guidance.

 2.4   The results of the assessment are set out below:

       Appraisal           Residual land       Benchmark land      Surplus/deficit (£)
       Scenario            value (£)           value (£)
       Open market         2,522,043           4,271,475           -1,749,432
       Policy compliant    2,474,281           4,271,475           -1,797,194

 2.5    The viability assessment on all open market basis with no affordable housing
       shows a viability deficit at £1,749,432 and therefore no surplus is generated
       to support any affordable housing provision. The appraisal has been
       constructed with a developers profit at 17.5% of GDV on the open market
       dwellings which is at the mid point of the range set out in the Planning
       Practice Guidance at 15-20% of GDV and in line with other similar
DEVELOPMENT VIABILITY REPORT FOR RESIDENTIAL EXTENSION AT ROSA, MULBERRY BUSINESS PARK, WOKINGHAM, RG41 2GY - On behalf of Watercrown Ltd By ...
assessments we have agreed across the region, but if we account for the
      deficit the developer will be returning a profit below the levels in the
      guidance and will have to take a commercial view to accept a lower level of
      return for the development to come forward. A developer is usually only
      required to contribute to affordable housing if the threshold levels of return
      have been achieved.

2.6   The NPPF states that a viability assessment should refer back to the
      assumptions used at plan making stage. The Wokingham Local Plan policies
      are based on a Local Plan Viability Assessment provided by GL Hearn and so
      we have summarised below the assumptions used in the GL Hearn
      assessment.

      Assumption                GL Hearn Local Plan        Scheme Assessment
                                Assessment
      Build cost                Bespoke estimate 2012      BCIS median rate
      External works            15% of build cost          Nil
      Contingency               5% of build cost           5% of build cost
      Professional fees         12.5% of build cost        7% of build cost
      Finance                   7%                         6.5%
      Sales costs               3%                         2.5%
      Open market profit        20% cost/17.5% GDV         17.5% GDV

2.7 Where we have used a slightly lower assumption it is based on similar scheme
    specific assessments we have agreed across the region.

2.8   In summary the viability assessment on an all open market basis shows a
      viability deficit and therefore no surplus is generated by the scheme to
      support any affordable housing provision.

3.0 Viability Assessment

 3.1   The existing property is a two storey office building with a gross floor area of
       1731m2 granted planning consent for conversion into 34no residential
       dwellings under permitted development rights in July 2019. The current
       proposal is to add an additional floor to the building to provide an additional
       11no apartments.

 3.2    The Wokingham Core Strategy was adopted in 2010 and policy CP5 states
       that sites providing 5 or more net dwellings should where viable provide up
       to 50% affordable housing. The PDR element of the development was
       granted consent without an affordable housing requirement but the
       extension scheme will be subject to the requirement. A policy compliant level
       of provision will equate to 5.5 units which we have rounded down to 5no
       dwellings, although we note the minimum level of provision for a
       development on previously developed land is set out in the policy at 30%. We
       have assumed the maximum policy level of affordable housing would need to
       be delivered as 3no affordable rent and 2no shared ownership dwellings.

 3.3   We have been instructed to assess the viability of the development and to
       establish if the policy level of affordable housing can be viably delivered. To
       assess the viability of the scheme in line with the Planning Practice Guidance
       we have compared the residual land value derived by the proposed scheme
       with the benchmark existing land value based on an existing use plus
       premium or alternative use valuation. The surplus residual land value over
       the benchmark land value provides the subsidy to support affordable housing
       or other planning obligations. The PDR and newbuild elements of the scheme
       will effectively be implemented as one overall development and so the
       appropriate methodology will to include both the conversion and newbuild
       elements of the scheme in a single combined appraisal to reflect how the
       development would be built out and benchmark the viability against the
       existing use value of the building as offices. We provided the viability
       evidence for the planning appeal on the nearby scheme at Ilex which was
       assessed on the same basis and the methodology was accepted as common
       ground in the appeal and the approach is in line with the Planning Practice
       Guidance.

 3.4   A DAT appraisal as all open market housing constructed on a residual
       valuation basis shows a residual value at £2,522,043 based on a developers
       profit at 17.5% of GDV which is at the mid point of the range set out in the
       Planning Practice Guidance at 15-20% of GDV.

 3.5   To fully assess the viability of the scheme we need to compare the resultant
       level of residual value derived from the proposed scheme with the existing
       benchmark land value. The Planning Practice Guidance states that benchmark
DEVELOPMENT VIABILITY REPORT FOR RESIDENTIAL EXTENSION AT ROSA, MULBERRY BUSINESS PARK, WOKINGHAM, RG41 2GY - On behalf of Watercrown Ltd By ...
land value should be based on an existing use plus premium valuation or a
      reasonable alternative use valuation. An existing use value is the level of
      value that can be derived from the current planning use with an additional
      landowners premium to provide an incentive for the landowner to bring the
      site forward for development. A benchmark land value can also be based on a
      reasonable alternative use value if the proposed use accords with planning
      policy but an AUV is deemed to already include a landowners premium.

3.6    The existing use of the building was offices and we understand the existing
      building has a gross floor area at 1731m2. To assess the existing use value as
      offices we have looked at comparable offices available to let within 0.25 miles
      and have identified two comparable offices on the Mulberry Business Park at
      £18.50/ft2. We have set out the EUV assessment in section 5 of this report
      but in summary we have adopted a rental level based on this market
      evidence, capitalised on a 6.5% yield which is at the lower end of the range in
      the February 2021 Knight Frank Yield Guide and made allowances for
      cosmetic refurbishment and fitting out of the space and buyers costs
      resulting in an existing use value at £3,714,326.

3.7   It is standard viability practice and an integral part of the EUV plus premium
      valuation method to allow for an additional landowners premium to provide
      an incentive for the landowner to bring the site forward for development. It
      should be at a level which provides sufficient incentive but the usual range is
      15-30% in this case we consider a 15% premium should result in sufficient
      incentive providing a benchmark land value at £4,271,475.

3.8   We have noted from Land Registry records the applicants paid £5,600,000 for
      the property in 2016 but the Planning Practice Guidance is very clear that a
      benchmark land value should not be based on purchase price but rather an
      existing use plus premium valuation of the site. We have therefore adopted
      the lower EUV plus premium value for the benchmark land value in line with
      the guidance.

3.9   In summary the appraisal results are set out below:

      Appraisal          Residual land       Benchmark land       Surplus/deficit (£)
      Scenario           value (£)           value (£)
      Open market        2,522,043           4,271,475            -1,749,432
      Policy compliant   2,474,281           4,271,475            -1,797,194

3.10 The viability assessment on all open market basis with no affordable housing
     shows a viability deficit at -£1,749,432 and therefore no surplus is generated
     to support any affordable housing provision. If we account for the viability
     deficit the developer is returning a profit level below the range set out in the
     Planning Practice Guidance at 15-20% of GDV and the developer will need to
DEVELOPMENT VIABILITY REPORT FOR RESIDENTIAL EXTENSION AT ROSA, MULBERRY BUSINESS PARK, WOKINGHAM, RG41 2GY - On behalf of Watercrown Ltd By ...
take a commercial view to accept a lower level of return for the development
     to come forward.

3.11 For comparative purposes we have also run a version of the appraisal with
     the required 5no affordable housing units delivered as 3no affordable rent
     and 2no shared ownership and this shows an increased deficit at -£1,797,194.
     Introducing affordable housing will therefore just compound the viability
     pressure and could prevent the scheme from coming forward.

3.12 In line with the guidance we have also looked at the sensitivity of the results
     to changes In the inputs, the largest impact will be generated by a change to
     the residential sales revenue and so we have modelled a version of the
     appraisal with the sales revenues increased by 5%. This shows an improved
     residual land value at £2,864,342 but this is still showing a deficit outcome at
     -£1,407,133, so even on the most optimistic assumptions the development is
     unable to viably support any affordable housing provision.

3.13 The scheme is on the limits of viability but if the developer takes a
     commercial view to accept a much lower level of return and develop the site
     out for cash flow the scheme can come forward as development costs are
     funded.

3.14 The assessment has been constructed with sales values based on local
     comparable evidence within 0.25 miles of the site, construction costs have
     been informed by the BCIS median rates and all other assumptions are either
     in line with the assumptions in the GL Hearn Local Plan viability review or
     standard market assumptions we have agreed on other viability assessments.
     We have allowed for CIL but we have not factored in any other s106 costs so
     we can observe the total surplus which is available to fund all planning
     obligations.

3.15 In summary the viability assessment on an all open market basis shows a
     viability deficit and so no surplus is generated to support any affordable
     housing provision. It should be noted in response to the Covid 19 crisis the
     RICS has issued material uncertainty provisions to valuation guidance, if the
     crisis continues to cause increases in unemployment this could have a
     negative effect on market confidence when government support measures
     are withdrawn potentially leading to falling houseprices and sales rates and
     construction costs could increase due to requirements of social distancing on
     site increasing preliminary costs. The market conditions will need to be kept
     under review as the development proceeds.

4. Policy Background

 Local Plan Policies

 4.1    The Wokingham Core Strategy was adopted in January 2010 and policy CS5
       sets out the policy requirement for affordable housing which states that on
       sites providing 5 or more dwellings or with a site area of at least 0.16ha up to
       50% of the net dwellings should be affordable. The policy goes on to set out
       minimum levels of provision for different locations ranging from 20-40% and
       a target of 30% would apply to the subject site.

 4.2   The targets are subject to viability and the supporting text of the policy states
       the requirement will be negotiated on a site by site basis taking into account
       housing needs, site specifics and other factors.

 4.3   The policy supporting text also states that a tenure mix of 70% affordable rent
       and 30% shared ownership will be required.

 4.4   The council also adopted an Affordable Housing SPD in 2013 which sets out
       the policy background for the affordable housing requirement and guidance
       for applicants on how the policy requirement should be implemented.

  National Planning Policy Framework June 2019

 4.5   Following a consultation period the revised NPPF was issued on the 19th June
       2019 and the main sections which effect s106 viability are outlined below.

 4.6   Section 34 states that Local Plans should set out the obligations that are
       expected from developments including affordable housing, however it says
       that such plans should not undermine the deliverability of the plan

 4.7   As set out in the previous versions the 2019 framework states planning
       obligations should only be sought where they meet the following tests:

       -   Necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms.
       -   Directly related to the development
       -   Fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development

 4.8   Section 57 of the framework sets out one of the keys changes around
       viability, this states that where policies around contributions have been set
       out in the plan, schemes that comply with them will be deemed to be viable.
       It is up to the applicant to demonstrate that particular circumstances differ
       from the Local Plan assumptions which require a viability assessment. Such
examples would be particular existing use that was not modelled at plan
       making stage, abnormal costs or movement in the market since the plan was
       adopted.

 4.9   Section 63 states that affordable housing should not be sought from schemes
       which are not major developments, this is defined at 10 units or less.

Planning Practice Guidance

 4.10 The viability section of the Planning Practice Guidance has also been updated
      and there have been some changes introduced in the recommended
      assumptions for constructing a viability assessment. The key change being
      land value should be based on an EUV plus premium valuation method. The
      guidance now also states that a viability assessment should refer back to the
      viability assumptions which backed up the Local Plan and should evidence
      how circumstances have changed to justify the need for a viability
      assessment.

 4.11 The guidance now specifically states the EUV plus premium method should
      be adopted where as before a range of options were set out including the
      market value approach. This is a clear change of direction to provide more
      clarity on how to set a benchmark land value in a viability assessment.

 4.12 The guidance also states that the use of an alternative use value is allowed if
      it is a reasonable alternative use and a planning consent on the site exists for
      that use.

 4.13 The guidance states that developer’s return in the range of 15-20% of gross
      development value is appropriate for plan making purposes but alternative
      levels can be utilised where it is justified by the scale and complexity of the
      development.

 4.14 The guidance also states methodologies for assessing gross development
      value and build costs but these are broadly unchanged since the previous
      version of the guidance.

 4.15 The guidance states that a viability assessment should be presented in a
      clear way so the assumptions for GDV, costs and developers profit are clear.

Statement In Response to Covid 19

 4.16 On the 13th May 2020 the government issued additional guidance to councils
      in response to the Covid 19 Crisis, under the heading of s106 agreements the
      following statement has been made;
There are greater flexibilities within s106 planning obligations than CIL.
Where the delivery of a planning obligation, such as a financial contribution,
is triggered during this period, local authorities are encouraged to consider
whether it would be appropriate to allow the developer to defer delivery.
Deferral periods could be time-limited, or linked to the government’s wider
legislative approach and the lifting of CIL easements (although in this case we
would encourage the use of a back-stop date). Deeds of variation can be used
to agree these changes. Local authorities should take a pragmatic and
proportionate approach to the enforcement of section 106 planning
obligations during this period. This should help remove barriers for developers
and minimise the stalling of sites.
5. Cost and Value Assumptions

      Benchmark Land Value

5.1   The Planning Practice Guidance states that benchmark land value should be
      based on an existing use plus premium valuation or a reasonable alternative
      use valuation. An existing use value is the level of value that can be derived
      from the current planning use with an additional landowners premium to
      provide an incentive for the landowner to bring the site forward for
      development. A benchmark land value can also be based on a reasonable
      alternative use value if the proposed use accords with planning policy but an
      AUV is deemed to already include a landowners premium.

5.2   The existing use of the building is an office and we understand the building
      has a gross floor area at 1731m2. To assess the existing use value as offices
      we have looked at comparable offices available to let within 0.25 miles and
      have identified two comparable offices on the Mulberry Business:

      Rubra Two 8,435f-17,255t2 guide rent £18.50/ft2
      Alba House 4,505ft2 guide rent £18.50/ft2

      If the building underwent cosmetic updating and fitting out in our opinion
      the same level of rental income should be achievable. The rental income has
      been capitalised on an anticipated investment yield of 6.5% which is at the
      lower end of the range set out in the Knight Frank Yield Guide February 2021
      which sets out a range between 5-6.5% for office space in south east towns
      and is therefore a fairly conservative estimate. The cost of refurbishing the
      space has been estimated at £750/m2 in line with the BCIS rates and other
      similar assessments we have agreed and we have allowed for 5% for contract
      administration and buyers costs at 5.75% as set out below:

      Rental income at £18.50/ft2           £344,766pa
      Capitalise on 6.5% yield             £5,304,092
      Refurbishment costs £750/m2          £1,298,250
      Professional fees 5%                  £64,913
      Sub total                            £3,940,929
      Acquisition costs                    £226,603
      EUV                                  £3,714,326

5.3   It is standard viability practice and an integral part of the EUV plus premium
      valuation method to allow for an additional landowners premium to provide
      an incentive for the landowner to bring the site forward for development. It
      should be at a level which provides sufficient incentive but the usual range is
15-30% in this case we consider a 15% premium should result in sufficient
       incentive providing a benchmark land value at £4,271,475.

 5.4   We have noted from Land Registry records the applicants paid £5,600,000 for
       the property in 2016 but the Planning Practice Guidance is very clear that a
       benchmark land value should not be based on purchase price but rather an
       existing use plus premium valuation of the site. We have therefore adopted
       the lower EUV plus premium value for the benchmark land value in line with
       the guidance.

Sales values

 5.5   To inform the sales value we have undertaken an internet based market
       research assessment of achievable values within a half mile radius of the site,
       looking at properties on the market, sale agreed and recently completed. The
       best evidence will be provided by new homes which reflect the newbuild
       premium these dwellings should command, the most comparable new
       development is a PDR scheme being released shortly at Parkview House on
       Reeves Way which is on the edge of the Mulberry Business Park. On this
       scheme two bedroom apartments are being released at £285,000-295,000
       and one bedroom apartments at £200,000-220,000.

 5.6   These values should however be treated with caution as they are marketing
       prices and are likely to be subject to discounts and sales incentives. We also
       identified a range of second hand two bedroom apartments on Ashville Way
       with sales values ranging from £235,000-250,000. The best evidence will
       however be provided by sold transactions taken from Land Registry records,
       concentrating on comparables in and around the Mulberry Business Park
       location to reflect a comparable setting we have identified the following
       transactions:

       32 Reeves Way 62m2 sold £254,000 March 2020 (£4,066/m2)
       16 Bellamy House, Ashville Way 66m2 sold £240,000 Feb 2020 (£3,636/m2)
       7 Bellamy House, Ashville Way 60m2 sold £250,000 October 2020 (£4,166/m2)
       32 Imogen Way, Ashville Way 57m2 sold £240,000 September 2020
       (£4,210/m2)
       10 Willmott House, Ashville Way 56m2 sold £230,000 November 2020
       (£4,107/m2)
       20 Tanhouse Lane 72m2 sold £215,000 November 2020 (£2,986/m2)
       4 Tanhouse Lane 71m2 sold £259,150 August 2020 (£3,650/m2)

 5.7   A typical market value is around £4,000/m2 with only relatively small two
       bedroom apartment with a floor area at less than 65m2 achieving more than
       £4,000/m2. These are however second hand values and we do need to reflect
       a new premium so we have adopted a 10% premium resulting in an average
       sales value at £4,400/m2 subject to a minimum value of £185,000 for the one
bedroom apartments (£175,000 for the smallest 25m2 studio) and a ceiling
        value at £295,000 for the largest two bedroom apartment in line with the
        market evidence. This makes the typical one bedroom apartment at 40m2
        with a sales value at £185,000 equate to £4,625/m2 and the largest two
        bedroom apartments at 70m2 based on a sales value at £295,000 equates to
        £4,214/m2.

 5.8    The sales values will therefore be in the range set out below:

        Studio apartment             £175,000
        One bedroom                  £185,000-259,600
        Two bedroom                  £255,200-295,000

 5.9    The overall GDV is £9,727,240 which equates to an average value across all
        units on the site to £4,515/m2.

 5.10    The actual price achieved will be dependent on market conditions at the
         time of marketing, competitor developments and the completed
         specification and finishes. We will need to keep market conditions under
         review as at the time of writing we don’t know how the market will respond
         to the Covid 19 crisis with increased risk of business failure and rising
         unemployment affecting market confidence.

Construction Costs

 5.11 In line with standard practice and the Planning Practice Guidance on
      standardised inputs we have used the BCIS rates rebased to Wokingham to
      inform the construction costs. For the PDR element of the scheme we have
      used the 1-2 storey median conversion rate at £1,406/m2 and for the
      newbuild element the 3-5 storey newbuild rate at £1,524/m2.

 5.12 The BCIS rates exclude allowances in connection with external works and the
      usual default assumption is 10-15% of the base build costs to fund the estate
      road, footpaths, services infrastructure and hard and soft landscaping. The GL
      Hearn local Plan viability assessments uses a 15% allowance but as a PDR
      extension scheme we have assumed the externals works are existing and so
      we have not allowed for any additional external works costs.

 5.13 The gross floor area of the PDR scheme is 1731m2 and so the communal areas
      equate to 12.7% on the net floor area of the scheme and we have applied the
      same communal area allowance to the extension scheme.

 5.14 The use of the BCIS median rate to inform the construction costs is in line
      with Planning Practice Guidance Standardised Inputs and the same
      methodology was agreed on the Ilex appeal.
5.15 We have separately allowed for design and professional fees at 7% and
      contingency at 5%, both of which are in line with the assumptions in the GL
      Hearn Local Plan assessment and standard assumptions we have agreed
      across the region.

Developers Profit

 5.16 The revised Planning Practice Guidance recommends a developers profit
      allowance in the range of 15-20% of GDV and the developer’s profit should
      reflect the development risk profile. The GL Hearn Local Plan Viability
      Assessment uses an assumption at 20% of cost which usually equates back to
      17.5% of GDV for open market housing and 6% for affordable housing.

 5.17 Over the last few years we have agreed a 17.5-18% of GDV profit level as a
      default position but with a backdrop of a strong economy and a rising market,
      the Covid 19 crisis has the potential to significantly increase the market risk
      profile which has to be reflected with an increase in the level of developers
      return. The increased risks are two fold with the risk of increased
      unemployment rates effecting market confidence potentially resulting in
      reductions in sales values and sales rates and social distancing measures on
      site increasing construction costs. At this point it is not clear how the market
      will react to the crisis when government intervention is pulled back but a
      developers profit at the higher end of the range in the guidance may now
      justified to offset the potential for much higher levels of development risk.

 5.18 Although a higher level of return could be justified to offset the increased
      risk we have maintained the developers profit at 17.5% of GDV for
      compliance with the Local Plan evidence base which is in line with the
      assumption adopted on the Ilex appeal.

Affordable Housing Assumptions

 5.19 We don’t have the benefit of any offers available from Registered Providers
      for the affordable housing so we have used the functionality of the DAT
      model to calculate the value of the affordable housing from first principles.
      To model the affordable housing value we have assumed the affordable rent
      units will have rents set at 80% of market rents subject to being no more than
      the relevant Local Housing Allowance rate. The average one bedroom market
      rent within 0.25 miles of the site is £850pcm and two bedroom apartments
      are £1,000pcm resulting in affordable rents at £156.32pw for a one bedroom
      and £184pw for a two bedroom which are below the LHA levels.
5.20 The shared ownership has been based on initial sales at 40% of open market
     value and a rent on the unsold equity at the Homes England maximum level
     of 2.75%.

5.21 In line with Homes England guidance in the AHP bidding round that grant
     would not be supported on s106 units, we have not included any grant
     funding in the appraisals.

5.22 The net affordable housing revenue has been capitalised at 4.75% for the
     rented units and 5.5% for the shared ownership which is a sector average.
6. Other Model Assumptions and Inputs

 6.1   The basis for assumptions on sales values, construction costs and profit are
       set out in section 5.

 Programme

 6.2   The DAT assumes a 6 month lead in to site start for detail design, building
       regulations approval, clearing pre-start planning conditions and site set up.
       The contract period is 18 months with a sales period of 12 months.

 S106 and CIL Contributions

 6.3   We have allowed for CIL on the net increase in floor area using the CIL rate
       index linked in line with the BCIS All In Tender Price Index but we have not
       made any allowance for any additional s106 costs so we can observe the total
       surplus that is generated to support all s106 costs.

 Interest Rates

 6.4   The GL Hearn Local Plan viability assessment uses a finance rate at 7%, but
       we typically agree finance rates with the DVS at 6.5-7% and so we have
       adopted a rate at 6.5% which is inclusive of arrangement and exit fees.

 Sales and marketing costs

 6.5   We have adopted an allowance at 2.5% of GDV to fund a show apartment,
       production of marketing material, agents costs and marketing and
       promotion. We note the GL Hearn Local Plan Viability Assessment uses a
       slightly higher allowance at 3% of GDV.

Ground Rent Value

 6.6   There is currently a policy drive from central government to reduce and cap
       ground rent levels so we don’t think a prudent developer would now build
       any capitalised ground rent value into their purchase appraisal. For this
       reason we have excluded any ground rent value from the assessment.
7 Conclusion

 7.1   The proposed development will provide 11no dwellings as an extension to a
       consented PDR scheme providing an overall development of 45no dwellings.
       The Wokingham Local Plan policy CP5 will require 5no affordable housing
       units to be provided by the scheme

 7.2   We have been instructed to assess the viability of the development and if
       the policy level of affordable housing can be viably delivered. To assess the
       viability of the development we have undertaken a residual valuation of the
       scheme and compared the resultant residual land value with the benchmark
       land value assessed on an existing use plus premium basis.

 7.3   The appraisal with no allowance for any affordable housing shows a viability
       deficit of -£1,749,432 and therefore no surplus is generated by the scheme
       to deliver any affordable housing delivery. For the development to come
       forward the developer will need to take a commercial view to accept a
       reduced level of return and develop the site for cash flow. It is clearly
       evident the scheme is unable to viably support any affordable housing
       provision.

 7.4   It should be noted in response to the Covid 19 crisis the RICS have issued
       material uncertainty provisions to valuation guidance. If the crisis continues
       to increase levels of unemployment this could affect market confidence
       when government intervention in the form of SDLT relief is withdrawn with a
       resultant effect on sales values and sales rates. The viability will need to be
       kept under review as the development moves forward.
