Viability Assessment for the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review

Tender description

Malvern Hills District Council is inviting Tenders from Potential Consultants on behalf of the south Worcestershire Councils (SWC) (Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council) for the provision of a Viability Assessment, which will help to inform the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR). Interested Consultants should submit their proposed methodology to meet the requirements set out in the Specification and provide a detailed breakdown of costs. The submission must be capable of detailed scrutiny including through the examination in public of the SWDPR. The proposal should indicate the timing of each element of work, including submission of a draft report and time for this to be revised before publication of a final report required by 1 July 2019. The SWDPR Viability Assessment will enable the SWCs, in line with National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG), to ensure that the viability assessments of allocated sites are supported by evidence informed by engagement with developers, landowners, infrastructure and affordable housing providers. This will be a strategic study that considers the viability of delivering a range of residential and employment development sites across south Worcestershire.
