        "description": "Chelmsford City Council (\"the Council\") is seeking to award a development opportunity to invest in and deliver a residential-led mixed use scheme integrating new homes, ancillary leisure & commercial spaces, community facilities with vibrant public realm spaces taking full advantage of the water frontage. The site known as Chelmer Waterside comprises approximately 6.33 hectares (15.63 acres) and is formed on three land parcels at a prominent city centre location. The site is estimated to be capable of accommodating a development in the region of 770 to 1,000 new homes and the development outputs are expected to be delivered in phases. The Council requires that 35% of the total number of houses delivered across the site to be affordable homes. The Council may require the developer to offer rights of first refusal (or similar options) to acquire the affordable housing to CHP as the Council's nominated housing association purchaser. The scheme will also involve demolition works, land decontamination remediation works at a former gasworks site, delivering a car parking solution, promoting and selling developed assets as well as securing the implementation of an estate management strategy agreed with the Council. The developer will be required to deliver a comprehensive skills and training programme as part of the Council's social value requirements for this project. The estimated development value of the scheme is between PS200 to PS250 million. However, potential returns will depend on many commercial factors including (but not limited to) the performance of the developer and market conditions.

The known risk of hazardous substances, structural issues and ground conditions being discovered at the site could increase costs or lead to a delay in the programme that could potentially require a variation or addition to the works and/or services to satisfactorily perform the development agreement. The severity and impact of such factors may not be known until after the commencement of the development agreement, the completion of surveys or the works are underway. Chelmsford City Council is subject to the English Devolution White Paper which will lead to local government re-organisation potentially during the term of this contract. This has now moved on to proposals in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. This risk is defined as a known unknown risk as we do not yet understand the implications of that potential re-organisation.",
