The GLA Affordable Housing & Viability toolkit (Three Dragons-maintained, DSP co-authored) is the reference Excel model for commuted-sum calculation across London boroughs. See the S106 AH Calculator vendor entry for the published GLA download.
LPA-side review of developer FVAs
Where an applicant submits an FVA arguing a viability shortfall, DSP is one of a small group of consultancies routinely instructed by the LPA to review the assumptions, contest the BLV and the threshold-test profit, and recommend an open-book review mechanism if the contribution is reduced at consent.
Three Dragons partnership
Three Dragons and DSP have co-authored toolkits and area-wide viability studies for over a decade. The combination is the de-facto LPA-side benchmark in the south of England and London; Lichfields more commonly sits on the applicant side.
