The output from Stage 1 will be a comprehensive report which justifies the overarching development principles for the whole site and how they take account of the ten characteristics of a well-designed place as set out in the National Design Guide. Stage 2 will be a masterplan for the whole site. This will require the appointed consultants to undertake any and all required site analysis including desktop assessments and reporting, including considering the issues, risks, impacts on holding and development. It will be accompanied by comprehensive development framework which clearly sets out the data and justification that underpins the consultant's recommendations for all the elements of the brief, as well the financial viability of the development.
