Decision details

Marks Gate has been identified as one of the sites for the Local Housing Company (LHC) to consider options for additional housing provision as part of a wider masterplan for improvements to the area.  The Executive will be asked to approve the procurement process for masterplanners for this area

Received a report from the Corporate Director of Regeneration concerning proposals for the production of a masterplan for the Marks Gate Regeneration Scheme. The masterplan will involve significant levels of public consultation and aims to pull all the social, economic and environmental threads together maximising the regeneration opportunities from new housing. 

Agreed, in order to assist the Council to achieve its Community Priorities of “Regenerating the Local Economy”, “Raising General Pride in the Borough”, “Better Education and Learning for All” and “Improving Health, Housing and Social Care”, to authorise the Director of Regeneration to carry out a tendering procedure for a consultancy team to produce the Marks Gate masterplan, subject to funds being secured from the Homes and Communities Agency.
