sites in the Georgian town of Wisbech had been vacant for over 20
years. The Council’s aspiration was for a high quality mixed
use development with port related employment, new housing and some
retail and other mixed uses.
Tibbalds initially assessed the potential for development and came
up with a regeneration strategy, tested in terms of design, planning,
feasibility and viability. This was adopted as Supplementary Planning
Guidance. We then provided input to bids for external funding, which
secured £10 million to address technical issues including
contamination and flood defences.
We are now involved in the implementation of the project, including
submitting an outline planning application, land acquisitions and
Compulsory Purchase Orders, site clean up, the implementation of
a programme of early works and the process of selecting a development
partner.
