Scope
Description
Cranbrook in East Devon is a town which is being developed on a former green field site from scratch. Construction works started in 2011 and the first residents moved in during the following year. By early 2025, the town had grown to approximately 9,000 residents occupying just under 3,500 properties. The current Local Plan which covers the period until 2031 makes provision for the delivery of circa 8,000 homes housing in the region of 25,000 residents - so Cranbrook will be at least a medium-sized town and probably the second-biggest settlement in East Devon.
As part of the development, multi-use sports pitches were delivered in 2019 which are well-used, predominantly by youth teams. The site is complete with several football pitches, an eight-wicket cricket square and outfield, a multi-use games area (MUGA), a sports pavilion with four changing rooms and 90m² social space, a 52-space car park with additional coach and bicycle parking. Cranbrook Town Council owns and manages the sports pitches and is now looking to commission the construction of a Local Equipped Area for Play (LEAP) at the site. The invitation to tender document sets out the parameters and the Town Council is now inviting tenders for the design and construction works to enable the above.
