Description

Uttlesford District Council is seeking to appoint a consultant(s) to undertake work to identify the economic profile of Uttlesford, future employment growth needs and how those needs should be met.
The Council is at the project initiation stage of preparing a new Local Plan, following the withdrawal of its 2019 Submission Local Plan from Examination. The new Local Plan will be a comprehensive Development Plan Document (DPD), containing both strategic and non-strategic policies for development over at least the next 15 years.

This work forms part of the Councils' plan making process. We are seeking to work with a contractor or group of contractors who can demonstrate a high level of knowledge and practical experience of economic needs assessment and employment land review related to development plan making. The contractor must demonstrate in writing that they have no conflicts of interest. Detailed proposals are now invited from consultants.
