Purpose:

A Hereford City Masterplan framework will help Hereford to become a more active travel city in the short, medium and long term. A specialist consultant with expertise in special development, urban development and innovation is required to help outline development viability and business case services in a regeneration context.
To achieve the level of detail the Cabinet have asked for, would require a baseline property review, car park options appraisal and brownfield land options appraisal.
To develop a Masterplan with the aim of turning Hereford in to a more active travel city, there is a need to review the uses and spaces for cars within the City Centre- to do this a detailed shortlist appraisal of a number of sites, to then proceed with a more detailed analysis of outlined sites will be sufficient to put an idea forward within the final Masterplan document.

The project used the ESPO framework to speak to the specialist consultant
