We discuss the transactional life of mixed-use schemes and how planning conditions and s106 obligations should be structured to secure desired planning outcomes for investors, operators, forward funders, buyers and lenders too. Rachele Pacifici of Cast Consultancy, Verity Waington of BCLP Real Estate and Sheridan Treger, Mike Dempsey and Jemma Green of BCLP Planning explore why this doesn’t always happen and the problems this can lead to, particularly for scheme marketability and financing. The episode provides guidance and tips for developers and explains why it pays to address potential planning issues from the start.
