Aims
This module will provide an introduction to the practical, legal and professional dimensions of the basic work of surveying in relation to planning and development. It will meet the requirements of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in introducing students to key issues in the measurement and valuation of land and property and the production and understanding of development appraisals/viability assessments. These areas of skills and knowledge will be conveyed in the context of reflexive professional practice through case examples and exercises. The module will provide a forum for contextualizing knowledge of regulation and practice in the field of planning gained from other modules within a context of working within or alongside the surveying profession.
