Tender description

This study will ensure a joined up vision for the area is articulated, taking a holistic view of multiple key sites located within the Central Greenock area. This is with a view of encouraging multi-tenure development and encouraging repopulation and regeneration within Inverclyde. The study will be informed by an analysis of the existing land use strategy, site deliverability, land valuation, market appraisals, an assessment of the housing market and local housing need and demand. In addition, the study will consider the environmental attractiveness of the Central Greenock area and how this can impact on attracting development to the area. The second priority of the strategy for Central Greenock should be to develop housing led social regeneration of the area and Inverclyde as a whole by implementing the Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan. The study will support this and provide positive suggestions about how best to progress with the transition in sync with any physical regeneration projects. An evaluation of future development and sites within the SHPA study should be cognisant of the Inverclyde Centre and evaluate its future role within the area with consideration towards future homelessness service provision. This is an Open Tender, Non-regulated procedure in which Inverclyde Council are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified consultancy team to prepare a development strategy for the Central Greenock study area with a view to enabling housing led physical and social regeneration.
