two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The appointed developer will enter into a Development Agreement with the Council which will provide a process to ensure the successful delivery of the development..
The Council is aware that any development needs to be affordable to the Organisation and further understanding of overall affordability to the preferred developer will be required.
The Development Agreement will include a timescale for achieving full planning permission and a further timescale for completing the agreed development. It is envisaged that this will be achieved by way of an agreement for lease leading to the Organisation obtaining a long term leasehold of the site.
it is anticipated that the redevelopment of the site will include housing, open space and a community facility.
Housing
The consultation and work undertaken as a result of the Feasibility Study for the Derriaghy site concluded that it was achievable to develop potentially 40 residential housing units. Based on the increasing waiting lists and ageing population, it is desirable that this will be a mixed tenure development .
In relation to the properties of the housing development, a broad spectrum of circumstances including properties that will address the needs of older people, to allow this demographic to downsize and enable other social housing to be accessed by those on the waiting lists.
Detached, semi-detached and terraced housing units would be reasonable options to address the range of housing needs currently being identified through the housing waiting lists alongside the demand for private, affordable purchases. In designing these homes, sufficient internal space should be included to allow flexibility in use through changing work from home patterns and to accommodate growing families without the need to move house.
Community Facility
A community facility will be required to be designed, built and delivered concurrently with the housing development. The community facility will be of use for the benefit of the wider community through a range of activities and opportunities being offered to current residents and those in the new development. A hub such as this can be a shared space for all to engage, establish networks and promote the principles of community development.
The design of this facility is expected to include at least a, kitchen, toilets and meeting room/s. As a minimum standard it will also require full fibre network capability and other minimum regulatory provisions.
Consideration of lands is in the order of £500,000 toned to take account of punitive transfer conditions.
