Description

North Somerset Council is seeking to procure a development partner, by way of a concession, to deliver 52 homes on its land south of The Uplands, Nailsea by way of a concession. The site benefits from Full planning consent for a very high quality and sustainable development of 52 homes. The site benefits from the Homes England Local Authority Accelerated Construction Fund (LA-AC) and the One Public Estate Land Release Fund (LRF). This includes £481,028 Land Release Fund grant which will be passed to the successful developer to fund eligible enabling works. The conditions of the funding commitments set out a number of requirements including timely investment in eligible enabling works, the use of Modern Methods of Construction (panelised), the provision of a minimum of 30% affordable housing and delivery of the scheme at an accelerated pace. The council intends to follow a process similar to the Competitive Dialogue procedure. The Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 ("CCR") apply to this scheme.
