Turning Ambition into Deliverable Development
What stops a promising development or regeneration project from moving forward?
In this episode of Black Cat Chat, Andy Clow is joined by Tom Smith, Development Advisory Lead at Black Cat, to explore how complex, underperforming and stalled sites can be unlocked.
Tom explains how development advisory brings together commercial insight, viability testing, funding, planning and delivery strategy to help clients turn ambitious ideas into practical, deliverable projects.
The conversation covers:
• Why development and regeneration schemes stall
• How viability challenges can be identified and addressed
• The changing role of town and city centres
• Why residential development is increasingly important to regeneration
• How Mayoral Development Corporations can help accelerate delivery
• Tom’s experience supporting the regeneration of Stockport
• The value of bringing commercial and technical advice together early
Tom also shares how he joined Black Cat to establish the Development Advisory service and how the new offer connects with the wider multidisciplinary team.
A practical and positive conversation about unlocking opportunity, overcoming barriers and creating places where people can live, work and thrive.
