A masterplanning exercise is underway, but the masterplan needs to be supplemented with a property strategy and appropriate delivery models, to facilitate the redevelopment of the town centre, including St Tydfil Shopping Centre.
The Delivery Plan will:
● Influence the masterplan to ensure that occupier mix, phasing and delivery considerations are designed-in from the outset
● Define the site parameters, taking into account the up-to-date Flood Risk Map
● Work with existing partners to ascertain whether any of the existing buildings are to form part of the redevelopment proposals
● Critique and challenge the Masterplan
● Be aware of the wider Core Ambitions / Vision for the town (2019)
● Collate information on other town centre projects and include within the wider master plan eg Improving Rail Access to the town and Improvements to the Railway Station
● Integrate updated reports on retail and residential demand.
● Establish current occupier demand and potential mix and scale of uses.
● Establish a baseline of existing occupiers by type across the whole of the town centre
● Implement an estate management strategy with occupiers in St Tydfil’s in line with ongoing development plans.
● Establish a phasing plan for development within the masterplan
● Establish a business case for each phase of the proposed development.
● Consider different types of delivery models for agreed developments.
● Recommend preferred development models in the best interests of the Council and which Officers can use to make recommendations to Cabinet. For instance, the appointment of a specialist JV partner or Consultant in Town Centre Redevelopment
