Reasons for recommendations

To support the land release of the existing depot site at Bengal Street for future residential scheme as part of the wider Town Centre Improvement Project.

To mitigate any risk to grant funding secured through both the Brownfield Land Release Fund and Levelling Up Fund.

Other options considered and rejected

To not appoint the contractor and employers’ agent/quantity surveyor consultant on project.  This has been rejected as this would not allow for the objectives to be achieved.
