Commonly Asked Questions
A feasibility appraisal is an early-stage planning review that assesses the development potential of a site. It considers planning history, site constraints, relevant policies, and local context. Rubix Planning delivers clear, policy-based advice on whether your project is likely to succeed — before time and money are committed.
What is a feasibility appraisal in planning terms?
Feasibility work identifies risks and opportunities early. Whether you’re considering an extension, infill scheme or change of use, Rubix Planning helps you understand what’s achievable under planning policy — avoiding costly mistakes and unrealistic assumptions.
Why commission a feasibility appraisal before you begin?
Each appraisal is tailored to the site. We analyse planning history, local policy, designations (such as Conservation Areas or green belt), access, constraints, and context. The result is a clear summary of what could be supported by the local authority and under what conditions.
What does a typical Rubix feasibility report include?

We blend policy understanding with commercial awareness. Our consultants assess not just what is technically possible, but what is likely to be supported — helping you pursue the most viable, realistic strategy from the outset.
How does Rubix Planning add value to early-stage decision making?
Absolutely. Even smaller proposals — such as home extensions, subdividing plots, or garden developments — benefit from early clarity. Rubix advises homeowners and developers alike on how to approach proposals with confidence.
Is feasibility advice useful for small and domestic projects too?

We take the guesswork out of planning potential. Our appraisals are honest, informed, and aligned with the realities of local authority decision-making. Whether you’re purchasing a site or reviewing options on land you own, Rubix gives you a trusted foundation to move forward.
