Decision details

The Joint Strategic Director Economy, Planning & Place is asked to use their delegated authority to authorise the letting of the contract to undertake the Guildford Urban Capacity Study to Maccreanor Lavington.

This evidence base document is necessary to inform the update to the Local Plan. The update to the Local Plan was agreed by full Council on 21 February 2024.

The initial phase (identifying the long list of sites) is a fixed price piece of work at £60,013. This is within our consultants’ budget and does not rely on the growth bid being approved. The second phase will be to develop detailed site design parameters for emerging site allocations and will be undertaken at a daily rate depending on the number of sites we wish to take forward.

It is a threshold 3 contract and we undertook a competitive tender process for this piece of work.
