Mile Oak Road Development: Employers Agent, Quantity Surveyor, and Principal Designer services

Award outcome

Description

Brighton & Hove City Council is seeking to develop land off Mile Oak Road as part of the New Homes For Neighbourhoods Programme. The is on council owned land off Mile Oak Road in Portslade Village. It is an area of grassland with areas of brush and trees at the edges, used as a paddock. To the east is a small paddock with agricultural building and grassland used for recreation, and the South Downs National Park. The site was identified in the City Plan Part 1 Urban Fringe Assessment (2014), as a site suitable for housing. The housing is to be 100% affordable rented, low density at around 25 units per hectare and for the housing to be delivered with KPIs meeting (or approaching) the performance noted in the LETI Climate Emergency Design Guide . Whilst the plan area would support approximately 30 houses at a density of 27 per hectare, the topography of the site, particularly in the northern section of the land, is steeply pitched and does not lend itself easily to housing development. Furthermore an Ecological Impact Assessment identified areas where biodiversity is present, these areas should be kept to avoid habitat loss.
