    Brief

    The Planning Advisory Service is seeking a qualified development viability expert to design and deliver a modular online training programme for local planning authorities across England. The expert will create high-quality, reusable learning resources that strengthen planning officers' understanding of development viability and their ability to apply viability considerations effectively in plan-making and decision-making processes. The programme will include a train-the-trainer approach to build internal capacity, comprehensive monitoring and evaluation, and optional bespoke support services for council officers and elected members. This is an opportunity to help planning authorities make better-informed decisions on housing and development projects by improving their viability assessment skills.
