As a planning and development consultant, you have been
asked by a major Scottish development company to report initially on the
potential of the site. Your clients are interested in a development that will
be both financially lucrative and make a significant contribution to how this
area is perceived in terms of place quality. For the avoidance of doubt, you
are neither expected nor required to produce a costed financial appraisal of
the development but to think instead about the broader development dynamics at
work on a site of this type. However, you should bear in mind that if you
subsequently take Development Economics, you may be required to undertake a
full financial appraisal of your proposal in that course.
