Description of the contract
The Council wishes to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced architect to design affordable housing to include a mix of 1 bed flats and 2 bed houses, exact number to be agreed with the Client in order to maximise the use of the site and associated access and landscaping.
The site is located on the old Primary School, Newbrough. A topographical survey of the site has been conducted and will be available in .dwg format upon request.
* The applicant should note that part of the site is outside of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP) Development Boundary, this should be taken into consideration before submitting a planning application.*
The focus of the design will be low carbon, affordable housing and the proposed design will need to conform to the standards set out in the Development Quality Requirements (DQR) Wales. It is intended that a social housing grant application be made to Welsh Government, so the design process will have to follow WG’s latest grant application procedure of concept and pre-planning approval stages. The client wishes for the new dwellings to utilise a MMC and achieve high energy efficiency standards.
The successful Consultant is to take the design to stage 3 of the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and achieve full planning consent. Subsequent design work will be undertaken by the successful contractor on a design & build contract basis.
