Sheepfolds will be a residential led mixed use community with approximately 600 new homes co-located with heritage buildings such as The Stables which is being transformed into a high-quality food and beverage venue, The Engine Shed which is being transformed into the new Housing Innovation and Construction Skills Academy (HICSA) and The Printworks a mixed-use leisure destination being created within the former Edward Thompson Printworks building. The neighbourhood will feature high quality public realm, a new public plaza which will run along the western edge of the devel-pment connecting the New Wear Footbridge and the Stadium of Light. Pedestrian focussed public realm will also be created along Hay Street and adjacent to the railway line to the east of the neighbourhood. These spaces will act as green lungs for the de-velopment, enhancing biodiversity and supporting a sustainable urban drainage system. The Sheepfolds masterplan sets a clear and deliverable phasing strategy that works with existing site infrastructure and brings a streetscape and sense of place and authenticity. It seeks to create a medium density walkable neighbourhood with a hierarchy of new public spaces and a mix of housing types that can support a diverse community. Taller buildings are used to signify the most important gateways within the masterplan, with one at the end of the New Wear Foot-bridge. Linear apartment buildings enclose the new enhanced public realm and pedestrian route through to the Stadium of Light and the approach to massing to the linear park running parallel with the railway line seeks to echo the industrial heritage silhouette of the old Monkwearmouth Goods Yard. The massing to the river edge seeks to replicate the silhouettes being created by residential development taking place across the river at Vaux and Farringdon Row. The Sheepfolds neighbourhood will comprise approximately 600 new homes. The range of house types have been developed to suit 21st century living patterns. There is a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments, 2 bed stacked duplex maisonettes, and 3 & 4 bed fam-ily sized townhouses with private gardens. The Council are seeking a development partner to develop the Sheepfolds Housing in line with the Masterplan. Additional information: Please note that the exact contract duration at this moment is unknown as this will be dictated by the winning contractors phase delivery plan. Whilst the notice states a 10 year period the Council expect the contract to be delivered considerably earlier than this timescale. Please also note that the contract value is only an estimate at this time as we do not know what the residual land value will be until responses are received.
