### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council has recognised the potential of the area around the Town Hall to deliver an exciting, major regeneration programme. The Town Hall Quarter (THQ) programme will transform the area, securing a thriving new quarter with new homes, employment and public space, which will be underpinned by a revitalised creative, cultural and heritage offer. The Council will be looking for a joint venture partner to form a limited liability partnership (LLP) on a 50/50 basis. Whilst the joint venture LLP will not deliver all the THQ objectives it is expected to play a vital role in securing some of the objectives through the evolution of the THQ masterplan. The Council's primary objective for seeking to set up a corporate joint venture is to progress redevelopment of the land around the Town Hall to deliver a new neighbourhood comprising at least 300 new homes. This will involve a residential-led development with supporting public realm and infrastructure, as well as some commercial uses.
