Breezehurst Drive Phase 2 – Architect Appointment
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
To appoint an architect for Breezehurst Drive Phase 2 to undertake the detailed design. There is already a decision in place under report reference CH/192 approved by the Cabinet on 25th November 2020. A new Cabinet report will be issued later in the year to appoint a contractor to progress the construction of this project. This revised process has been approved by the Leader of the Council. The proposed strategy moving forward is to directly appoint through a framework the original architect on the scheme, to complete the design up to RIBA Stage 4 and submit the additional information required for the planning application. This is backed up by advice we have received by both an external legal consultant and a national framework director, and this approach has been approved by the Procurement Manager.
Recommendations Approved
