ABOUT

Declan W. Pierce MSCSI MRICS.

Declan is a professional Chartered Surveyor with a vast experience of all aspects of the construction industry. His involvement in Part V appraisal started at the very beginning with the amendment to the Planning Development Act in 2000. The subsequent Urban Regeneration and Housing Act 2015 made several important amendments to Part V legislation to ensure greater transparency in the process. Prior to the 2015 amendments Part V did not apply to four or less housing units. The threshold was increased to nine units from 1st September 2015.

This practise was launched in 2014 with the ambition to provide specialist knowledge of the Planning and Development Act 2000 - Part V available to both Local Authorities and Construction Developers.
