The Council will be seeking to appoint a developer later this year, probably following the OJEU Competitive Dialogue Process An SPD was created in 2010, which will form the basis of the development brief. Further guidance is being produced by Colliers International to bring this document up to date. It is envisaged that the centre will be developed by a partner who, will enter into a development agreement and on receipt of a satisfactory planning consent will be granted a building lease. The developer will deliver the development and have the ability to draw down a long lease of the completed accommodation enabling them to dispose of the residential on long leasehold lettings; the commercial will be passed to the Council who will assume responsibility for its management and letting. The Council will retain the freehold of the whole estate and retain the commercial income. The developer will have sold the residential and will have no long term residual interest or liability. The Council is looking to instruct a legal team to provide a range of services to support the disposal process and the longer term estate management of the development. Some initial work will be required to assist with the marketing process with the majority of the work undertaken following the selection of the partner developer.

The Process will be able to oversee this process (as per the DA). o On receipt of planning permission the Developer will gain the Building Lease. This will allow them to undertake the development. They will have to undertake this in-line with the planning permission and DA. The DA should also contain obligations on the Developer to complete the development by certain timescales. o The Developer will undertake the development work in order to draw down the Long Leasehold Interest. This is where they can gain the value from the project. ...
