Description of the procurement

Soha is seeking expressions of interest from suitably skilled and experienced Contractors to deliver the erection of 31 affordable dwellings, together with access, parking, landscaping, amenity provision and associated drainage on a site in Windmill Road, Thame.
The site sits on the edge of the existing Thame settlement and the surrounding area is largely characterised by medium density residential development to the north and semi-rural landscape to the remaining cardinal directions. The site comprises 1.27Ha of agricultural land formed of one field parcel; bounded by existing hedgerows and trees. Two public rights of way exist along the north and western boundaries, connecting the site with Moreton, Thame and Princes Risborough. The western part of the site generally falls in a south westerly direction, and the eastern part in a north easterly direction. The site is moderately flat and comprises a broadly rectangular parcel of semi/improved grassland land with hedgerows to the boundaries and scattered trees. Existing access is provided off Windmill Road. Overhead network and electricity cables run across the northern part of the site and a historic well is located in the western third of the site.
The proposed development will consist of 31 affordable dwellings providing a high-quality range of housing. A proposed Site Layout Plan submitted as part of the planning application indicates a form of development comprising 1-3-bedroom properties; 16 Affordable Rent and 15 Intermediate Housing, with integrated green infrastructure including soft landscaping, a ‘village green’ and a play area and associated drainage works. The application also proposes new pedestrian links to existing footpaths surrounding the site, a widened vehicular access point off Windmill Road, the creation of an attenuation basin to address surface water drainage and a new electricity sub-station.
The site is subject to a full planning application (ref: P20/S4693/FUL) submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) in December 2020 for 31 affordable units. SODC resolved to approve the planning permission in August 2021, subject to a s106 Agreement.
