What happens once I have provided my RLV?
Once an RLV and the supporting information are submitted, the costs, values and outputs in the RLV will be reviewed.
They will be tested to ensure they are clearly evidenced and reasonable. Areas where further clarification is needed may be identified and further information may be requested.
If the viability assessment and supporting information is submitted as part of pre-application discussions, any issues can be picked up and discussed during the pre-application meeting. At this meeting a way forward will be agreed, including a timetable for further written information if needed. If these discussions take place when an application has already been submitted, feedback will be in written form.
It is for the applicant to satisfactorily demonstrate that the scheme is unviable. Incomplete, inaccurate or confusing information is unlikely to be able to do this. For larger or more complex schemes, advice may be sought from the District Valuer. This will be at the applicant's expense.
