The University of Surrey has extensive landholdings and intends to develop a new, sustainable, urban village for Guildford on part of its land. Initial studies by the University have confirmed that the site could accommodate a mixed use scheme comprising housing, academic and research buildings. University land holdings, at Blackwell Farm and Manor Farm, have been identified as a possible site for initially 2,000 dwellings subject to further evaluation in the Guildford Borough Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment report dated December 2012, published on 30.7.2013. The University now seeks to appoint a major town planning consultancy with an in house master planning and environmental impact assessment (EIA) capability to assist in the evaluation, design, promotion, and delivery of an outline planning consent together with certain reserved matters applications, for the proposed development. After the return of the pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQs) referred to in this notice, a short list of suitably qualified town planning consultants will be drawn up by the University based on the criteria detailed in the PQQ.
