Wigan Council - Review of King Street Masterplan, Interim Planning Guidance and Design Code

Tender description

Wigan Council is seeking to appoint a consultant to undertake a review of the King Street Masterplan and Interim Planning Guidance and to produce a new Design Code to inform future regeneration and development schemes in the area. Phase 1 of the King Street proposals saw the preparation of a Masterplan and Interim Planning Guidance for this area within Wigan town centre. This identified a number of potential sites for redevelopment via the Future High Street Fund (FHSF) programme. In order to reflect the progress made and changes since the Masterplan was produced a further commission will review and update the Masterplan and develop a Design Code for the King Street area to reflect the current priorities and aspirations for King Street to support the delivery of a Phase 1 FHSF scheme, Heritage Action Zone and other sites for potential future regeneration or redevelopment. The Consultant will be appointed via Direct Award. Keywords: King Street, Masterplan
