Description

Wakefield Council (the Council) wishes to appoint an experienced, multi-disciplinary master planning consultancy team with strong urban design skills to produce a Masterplan that will provide a strategic framework for Wakefield City Centre, guiding its physical development and economic growth, within the context of the adopted and emerging statutory development plan and relevant strategies for Wakefield City Centre.

The masterplan proposals will bring about a series of high quality developments and complementary schemes that will contribute to the inclusive, sustainable and cohesive vision for Wakefield City Centre. Primarily the purpose of this masterplan is to help address issues of decline in the retail and business sectors (in terms of empty units, vacant and underutilised office space, rates of retail/business closures exceeding new businesses opening) within the city centre. It will create a positive reputation for the city as a desirable place to live, work and play. The masterplan will reflect developments already carried out or ongoing, current and emerging planning policies and design standards and the economic market context.

The Masterplan is to be completed during the contract period of 18 months starting on 06 January 2020 with completion of the project by April 2021.
