Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment for Nuneaton and Bedworth Local Plan

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is seeking a contractor to conduct a Housing and Economic Needs Assessment to support the development of a new Local Plan. The Council is updating its Development Plan to reflect changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The new Local Plan will supersede the current Borough Plan (2011-2031) and guide sustainable growth across the borough through 2031 and beyond. The assessment will provide evidence on housing demand, economic development requirements, and infrastructure needs to inform the Local Plan policies and site allocations. This is a critical piece of evidence gathering that will support the planning examination process, with adoption anticipated in late 2025. Suppliers should have expertise in housing market analysis, economic forecasting, demographic trends, and local plan evidence base development.
