Filling the skills gap
Roger Tym & Partners recently carried out a major survey of the viability training needs of the planning. Of the 600 respondents, our survey found that only 11% or more felt that their skills in this area were adequate, while 63% considered they were in need of improvement.
We are now working with the Planning Advisory Service (PAS) to run intensive two day courses in viability for local authority planners. Courses take place across the country, and are selling out quickly: www.pas.gov.uk/events
