### Lot Information

Lot 1

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 Footbridge. 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 family sized townhouses with private gardens. The Council is seeking to appoint a developer development partner to bring forward residential development within the Sheepfolds development site, initially delivering Phase 1 with the potential to draw down subsequent phases for further residential development subject to the appointed developer successfully achieving agreed Key Performance Indicators as set out in the Development Agreement. In addition to the delivery of new homes and the appointed developer will be expected to deliver the site remediation works for Phase 1 and with the potential for the award of a contract to construct to be appointed to procure the delivery of the Mobility Hub identified in the South East corner of plot 5 and other areas of public realm. Phase 1 is a c.1.2-hectare site, made up of plots 4 and 5 and the immediately adjacent public realm. Massing studies completed at master planning stage suggest the site can accommodate c.160 homes and will be the catalyst for the regeneration of the wider Sheepfolds neighbourhood.
