Gilbey said: “Development projects negotiated in a once buoyant market are now exposing dangerous weaknesses, so much so that all parties to the development process have had to adapt significantly.

“This briefing has managed to bring together key experts in the industry to give attendees essential guidance on how best to bring development projects forward and preserve and enhance their viability".

Iain Painting of Barton Willmore, added: “It is crucial at this time that we look at ways to make new development strategies more efficient and cost effective and working closely with other consultants to debate and share ideas is an important part of this. By pooling our knowledge and expertise we will be better placed to understand the challenges currently facing development appraisals and look at some practical solutions.”
