DEVELOPERS
We believe co-operative work and shared knowledge are the keys to success
Supporting Developers to Meet Local Economic Needs
Each neighbourhood is unique. It needs local intelligence and working with local providers. This is a piece of work in itself. Build Local
works with developers, Local Planning Authorities and local providers to make informed decisions on major development bids and planning applications to meet the economic development policy objectives set out by London Boroughs and planning authorities. By sharing experience in understanding what works well, where, we can create lasting legacies in our neighbourhoods.
What we can do to support you
Build Local
can contribute to the economic development element of developers’ tenders as well as help negotiate Business, Employment and Skills conditions for planning applications by:
- Maximising the quality and quantity of outcomes for jobs, apprenticeships, supply chains and economic inclusion, and
- Minimising the cost of delivering these non-financial contributions.
We will:
- Understand economic development requirements for both s106 and Social Value and recognise the overlap while delivering on these obligations effectively and efficiently,
- Design Business, Employment and Skills Delivery plans that are effective because they are bespoke to the needs of a neighbourhood, and efficient because they include and involve providers who want to work with employers,
- Use local intelligence to design and deliver a Business, Employment and Skills plan,
- Report measures and success stories to the planning authority* (see the Do Good or Go Home Page).
