What the buyer says

This procurement exercise is to support the delivery of 39 mixed-tenure homes on a greenfield site off Stoke Road, Henlade TA3 5FF, south of Henlade Close (Phase 1). This will extend the existing 26-home affordable housing development built nearly 10 years ago, where many homes are now privately owned. The new scheme is tenure blind at present, but is likely to be either solely social rented, or a mix of rented and shared ownership.

The site is generally level, with a slight rise in the centre and few landscape features. A residential mobile home site lies to the west and extends south, with linear development to the east towards the historic village. Across the A358 to the north are houses, businesses and a shop/post office, and there is a bus stop immediately adjacent to the site. The site is in Flood Zone 1, the lowest flood-risk zone, with only a very small area affected by surface water. We expect the planning application to go to committee for a decision in December 2026. We are tendering ahead of planning consent so that we can enter into contract by mid-March 2027 and expect to share the consent with all tenderers through a Notice To Tenderers during the period. Planning approval is not guaranteed, and we will not reimburse tendering costs if the application is rejected. The s106 agreement is still outstanding, so we require tenderers to include a £100,000 provisional sum for site-based works to be delivered b…
