## Description
Marina Village is a proposed mixed-use scheme that would transform a currently derelict brownfield site on the north side of Buccleuch Dock, on the edge of Barrow-in-Furness town centre.
The majority of the 25-hectare site is in council ownership. Funding has been secured through Getting Building Fund to remediate the ground conditions across a first development phase (approx. 6 hectares), which can be accessed via a new purpose built access off Salthouse Road.
The south and east of the Marina Village site require additional enabling works, presenting a viability challenge for private developers. The Council has secured £1.5m to provide an upgraded junction to the south west of the Marina Village site connecting Cavendish Dock Road to Strand / Salthouse Road and to relocate a new substation and utilities diversions on the east of the site. These interventions remove two major constraints on further private sector development.
The project is at a stage where it requires a detailed design to be undertaken with associated additional survey and investigation works to enable the project to be let for construction by competitive tender via the Chest. Planning permission will also be required as Cavendish Dock Road is currently not adopted and due to its setting in relation to a number of listed buildings.
This project scope details the Services required to
1)	enable the upgrade of the existing Cavendish Dock Road/Salthouse Road junction to a fit for purpose right turn priority junction (as detailed within the existing concept design).
2)	Act as agent on behalf of the Council and engage with ENW to secure the relocation of the sub station at Marina Village.
