Shinfield, Reading
The Shinfield case (APP/X0360/A/12/2179141) as it has become known is possibly the most important viability case to have been tested at appeal. Nigel Jones appeared as an expert witness for the appellant and demonstrated a new approach to the assessment of the landowner’s return, which has subsequently become known as the “Shinfield approach”.
Nigel has subsequently demonstrated the approach at appeal in a number of cases and has been asked to present lectures to the RICS and RTPI on viability.
