EMPLOYMENT LAND STUDY CONSULTANCY

Tender description

Daventry District Council is looking to appoint consultants to gather robust evidence to support the Part 2 Local Plan in order to understand any local employment requirements and support the emerging policies and recommendations. This will include commentary on the implications for floorspace requirements in the District. The study will not be a traditional employment land study, but will take a narrower scope within the context of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy and will provide an assessment of the case for further non-strategic employment land allocations which will include an update on the property market supply and demand conditions of the main employment uses in Daventry District and the implications for floor-space requirements, including the requirements of specific sectors, use classes and types of employment. The intention is that the contract will commence in July 2017 and finish in September 2017, which will give sufficient time to inform the draft Local Plan.
