## Description
INTRODUCTION
Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - with support from its appointed development consultants Mace, Montagu Evans and Vail Williams - is seeking to engage with a cross section of site wide muti-use and specialist developers in respect of its plans for regeneration of the City Centre North (CCN) strategic area.
The Council anticipates partnering with a lead developer to deliver the scheme across multiple phases, and potentially a range of uses.  The Council is also interested in speaking with specialist developers of specific uses to test their feasibility.  The Council considers that the following specialist uses could be of relevance to CCN development:
•	Multi-family Build to Rent (BTR) / Co-living
•	Single family BTR
•	Extra care
•	Key worker housing
•	Purpose Built Student Accommodation
•	Hotel
•	Offices
KEY OBJECTIVES
The Council is aiming to transform the northern part of the city centre. The plans will the see the redevelopment of the former Tricorn and Sainsbury's sites, which the Council bought to unlock the opportunity for long-term regeneration of wider area.
The plan focuses on making the best use of this large area by creating new homes, new walking and cycling routes and a large open green space stretching from St. Agatha's Church to All Saints' Church. By bringing more residents into the area, the project should not only deliver more homes for local people, but also more customers for shops, restaurants and other businesses in the city centre.
The project will support and address growing city centre housing market demand for a quality product with mixed tenure options.
The City Centre North project has extant outline planning consent which focuses on:
•	The future of the city centre and environmental needs
•	What residents have been telling us through the Local Plan survey and the Imagine 2040 City Vision
•	Joining up logically with our other projects in the city centre
•	Supporting the need for sustainable, affordable homes
•	Enabling a greener city with easier travel
•	The local community but also considers attracting visitors
The development will include the construction of a phased, mixed-use scheme comprising:
•	Up to 10,000 sqm GIA of non-residential uses (Use classes E, F1, F2)
•	Up to 2,300 housing units
•	22,400 sqm new green open spaces and public realm
The development will transform a 13.25 ha predominantly brownfield site into a new and attractive city quarter with a large central green space. The enhanced public realm and legible connections across the site will allow natural footfall and permeability from the city centre and surrounding residential areas.
PHASING
The project is split into two phases as per the extant planning consent:
•	Phase 1 comprises two buildings delivering 550 new homes, non-residential floorspace and associated landscaping and access work, including part of the new public green space. The buildings form a courtyard arrangement which maximise views into and interacts with the gr...
