VEAT Notice - Bath Western Riverside (BWR)

This is not a tender opportunity. This VEAT is to inform the market of the Council’s intention to enter into a series of contractual arrangements, including a remediation and enabling works agreement (REWA), to support a package of remediation and enabling works at the Bath Western Riverside Phase II site, informally known as the ‘gas lands’ (Site). The works at the Site will be funded by grant monies from the Homes and Communities Agency (Homes England) Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF). The Council’s long term ambition is the redevelopment of the Site into residential housing. The Site is part owned by the Council and part owned by a housing developer, St William Homes LLP (part of the Berkeley group). The Council is party to a land swap agreement dated 27 January 2022 (LSA) with Berkeley which enables the parties to swap areas of their individual land holdings, as the current land ownership boundaries of the Site limit opportunities for development for both parties.
