The council is seeking bids from housing developers (and their associates) or consortium (with identified lead organisation) to promote and develop an early phase market housing scheme. it is expected that development will achieve the highest possible degree of energy efficiency and provide an exemplar in terms of sustainable build and achievement of carbon reduction targets The council has been awarded Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLFR) money for the site, the aim of which is to unlock new homes on derelict and underused brownfield land through the One Public Estate programme.
