Purpose

On 6 October 2023 Cabinet considered a report
titled ‘Levelling Up Fund and Capital Regeneration Projects -
Progressing the Projects to Planning Permission’. As part of
that report, Cabinet delegated authority to the Corporate Director
Place and Economy in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for
Economic Growth, Regeneration and Tourism to procure appropriate
resources and commission a project team to carry out the associated
work including for the design briefs.

This appointment allows the ‘rights of light’ aspect of
the design briefs to be progressed.

contract with Right of Light Consulting for the provision of rights
of light services for the Carnarvon Terrace project which is being
delivered as part of the wider Clacton Civic Quarter Levelling Up
Fund scheme, and for the Homes in Dovercourt project, which is
being delivered as part of the Dovercourt Town Centre Improvement
Corridor scheme.

The services have been procured via the Quotation Rules as set out
in Tendring District Council’s constitution, and have a total
cost of £14,250 (Carnarvon Terrace) and £7,450 (Homes
in Dovercourt) plus VAT.

this approach would mean the works did not progress.
