Description

We are looking for a property development solutions expert - with commercial and residential development experience - to evaluate the feasibility of a preferred concept for the redevelopment of a building and site owned by Wallingford Town Council, and to recommend an alternative route (from a list of options) if the preferred scheme is not considered feasible. The building is The Regal Centre, Goldsmith's Lane, Wallingford, OX10 0DN.

The Regal was constructed in 1933 as a cinema and ceased to operate in that capacity in 1973. It was then bought by the Town Council and converted into a community and indoor sports centre. The centre was closed in 2017 for health and safety reasons and has remained close since. The aspiration has been to develop the site into a multi-purpose space for the community's benefit. However, for different reasons, including access and cost, this vision has proved challenging to realise.

A detailed brief is available on request from Mr Luke Whitcomb of Wallingford Town Council by emailing meetings@wallingfordtowncouncil.gov.uk

Applications should be submitted to Miss Michelle Taylor, Town Clerk, Wallingford Town Council, 8A Castle Street, Wallingford OX10 8DL by Friday, 24 May 2024, demonstrating (a) a clear understanding of the brief and context (b) a description of how you would approach and undertake the project (c) a clear understanding of the challenges involved and how you intend to address these (d) a description of your professional capability and experience relevant to the project (e) the names of individuals who will be working on the project and their competencies and professional experience, (f) a high level of satisfaction of other clients, (g) a description and rationale of the costs you would charge, and (h) a description of your deliverables
