● Critique and challenge the Masterplan

● Be aware of the wider Core Ambitions / Vision for the town (2019)

● Collate information on other town centre projects and include within the wider master plan eg Improving Rail Access to the town and Improvements to the Railway Station

● Integrate updated reports on retail and residential demand.

● Establish current occupier demand and potential mix and scale of uses.

● Establish a baseline of existing occupiers by type across the whole of the town centre

● Implement an estate management strategy with occupiers in St Tydfil’s in line with ongoing development plans.

● Establish a phasing plan for development within the masterplan

● Establish a business case for each phase of the proposed development.

● Consider different types of delivery models for agreed developments.

● Recommend preferred development models in the best interests of the Council and which Officers can use to make recommendations to Cabinet. For instance, the appointment of a specialist JV partner or Consultant in Town Centre Redevelopment
