Appointment of Design-Led Team for Ship Street Development in Folkestone
Awarded 20 Dec 2022
About
Folkestone and Hythe District Council awarded a contract to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd for the appointment of a design-led team to obtain planning permission for the development and regeneration of the former gasworks site, 'Ship Street', near the centre of Folkestone in Kent.
The contract, valued at AUD 479,725, was procured via the Homes England Multidisciplinary Framework (2019/S 020-043937).
The development objectives include providing at least 150 homes to NDSS space standards, designing energy-efficient homes using a fabric-first approach to support the Council's aspiration towards Net Zero Carbon by 2050, and providing at least 22% affordable housing.
The team will also address buildability and viability considerations related to the site's historic industrial usage, promote safe walking and cycling links between Folkestone Central train station and the town centre, and encourage a transport strategy that prioritizes cycling, walking, and public transport.
Additionally, the design should contribute to the town's cultural development, including architectural expression in public realm, wayfinding, and events, and consider the feasibility of live/work or workspace approaches and creative sector/small maker/commercial space.
