About RTPI masterclasses

Britain’s planning system largely depends on private development companies to implement its forward plans. A better understanding of the process will help planners to negotiate successful outcomes.

Key issues covered in this masterclass:

  • Schemes different developers want
  • Where you find the sales and costs data
  • The principles of a development appraisal
  • Getting the figures to add up
  • Development finance

Why you should attend this masterclass


Some planners become developers. It isn’t intellectually difficult, but you need more than lectures to understand the business, in particular how to value development land. This masterclass uses exercises, lectures and workshops to help you think like a landbuyer. Come and enjoy the day, and learn what drives the industry which planners regulate.

Who should attend?


These masterclasses are designed for:

  • Development control staff – is that developer truthful?
  • Forward planners – will our allocation ever be built?
  • Consultants – what are the financial red lines for the client?
  • Planning solicitors – why won’t they agree the wording?
  • Implementation – what s106 contributions are possible?

Key benefits


This masterclass will provide you with:

  1. An overview of development firms and development finance
  2. Practical experience of working up a development appraisal from inception to land valuation
  3. A better understanding of the risks which face developers, and the levels of profit they seek
  4. Realisation that some Planning Gain can be achieved on most sites
