West Sussex County Council (‘the Council’) is seeking a development agreement partner to invest in and deliver development, construction, sale of homes, and commercial buildings to final occupation on the 7.5 ha former Novartis Pharmaceuticals site in Horsham. The project will deliver up to 300 new homes for the community, in a range of sizes, types and tenures, including provision of affordable housing. The proposed structure of the transaction is a contractual joint venture, allowing the partner to deliver the initial phase of residential development immediately and draw down commercial phases either speculatively or when suitable occupiers are secured. The Council will receive land receipts for commercial units and land payments and overage in respect of the residential units. The Council has an option to acquire one or more of the commercial units. Further details in the procurement documentation on the portal.
