Business Cases and Impact Assessments

By identifying and testing feasible delivery options, we help organisations develop the business case for their project and service ideas. Our impact assessments help clients communicate the impact and value of their work.

Our impact assessments are used to support planning applications (as part of Environmental Impact Assessments), to support funding bids, or to help clients communicate the impact and value of their work to their partners and stakeholders. We use demand analysis to shape the scope or scale of a project, and we consider the implications for people and communities throughout all stages.

Our business plans and impact assessments are fully compliant with the latest Government guidance and industry best practice.

We have carried out business cases and impact assessments for a variety of projects including parks, open spaces, cultural, leisure and tourism facilities, community assets, active travel, housing and mixed-use schemes.

Our business case and impact assessment services include:

Feasibility studies
Demand and market assessments
Cost Benefit Analysis
Social Return on Investment
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessments
Support with implementation including governance and funding
Business case reviews

High quality report as always with Forever and excellent value for money.

Stewart Nicholson, Director Capital Services, Hull City Council

Forever Consulting demonstrated strong technical skills coupled with a deep understanding of social value which they applied to our commercial schemes. They were a pleasure to work with, creative, responsive, reliable, delivered exactly what we needed and provided excellent value for money.

Steven Graham, Community Liaison Manager, Clarion Housing Group

It was great to work with Forever. They are incredibly knowledgeable in their field, and they were able to provide an insightful report on our organisation, within a local and national context. Their friendly and approachable style supports great collaborative working and the opportunity to share knowledge and skills. It’s been a pleasure to work with them.

Helen Kendrick, Senior Manager: Operations, Heart of England Community Foundation

We are really pleased with the report and the process of delivery. The team assigned to deliver the CBVA were extremely competent, patient and approachable. I appreciated the regular communication and the nudges to move things along to ensure we could meet the deadline. A large organisation quoted £100k for the same project. We pride ourselves on being cost effective and providing value for money, so we are thrilled to receive such a great service and exactly what we needed for a fraction of the price.
