## Notice

Liverpool City Council (LCC) are commencing a review of the Liverpool Local Plan. The Local Development Scheme https://liverpool.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/plan-making-in-liverpool/local-development-scheme/ sets out the programme for its preparation. In line with the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Guidance it must be based on a robust, up to-date and proportionate evidence base. The City Council therefore wish to procure the services of a highly experienced and qualified consultant/s to undertake an updated Strategic Housing Market Needs Assessment (SHMNA) for the city. The SHMNA will provide a key piece of the evidence to inform the preparation of the new Local Plan for Liverpool. In addition, the study is also required to inform the preparation of strategies, policies and decisions across the council including a city- wide Housing Strategy. It will provide a clear and robust evidence base which all LCC Directorates, partners and agencies can use to better understand the current and future nature of Liverpool's housing needs at a city wide and sub-area level. It will also help to inform and guide development and investment in the city, ensuring housing growth in the city meets identified needs, is provided in the right locations and supports the city's economic growth aspirations. It will form an integral part of the evidence base to provide robust, up to date evidence in respect of housing needs and will underpin housing related policies in the Local Plan, which will guide future residential development in the city. Along with a SHMNA, the council are also commissioning the following studies via separate tender exercises which will be cognisant of each other and share the same baseline data: 1. Employment Land and Premises Study 2. City Centre Strategy 3. Open Space Study 4. Retail and Leisure Study. The following key milestones & outputs will be required from the study: * Inception meeting with officers to agree timescales and reporting arrangements. * Organising and undertaking Housing Needs Survey * Organising and facilitating engagement with key stakeholders.
