Description

Broxtowe Borough Council wishes to undertake a procurement exercise in respect of research for preparing the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan.

Broxtowe Borough Council, Gedling Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council ("The Councils") are currently preparing the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan, which comprises 'Part 1' of the Local Plan for each council. The Councils require a Centres Study to form a key part of the evidence base and to inform policies and strategies to be included within the Regulation 19 Version of the Strategic Plan. Each of the authorities will be preparing a Part 2 Local Plan, following the adoption of the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan.

The study should focus on strategic and policy issues affecting the Greater Nottingham centres.

It is anticipated that the study will be based around the following key stages:

a) Inception

b) Quantitative assessment

c) Review of trends

d) Policy recommendations

e) Draft Report

f) Final Report
