What is being bought
Wirral Borough Council (the "Council") intends to enter into a Master Development Agreement with Ion Property Developments Limited ("Ion") for the development of closely connected land (including land owned separately by the Council and Ion). The development will see the comprehensive regeneration of a substantial brownfield site with the intention to bring a minimum of 1,400 new homes to Birkenhead, supporting Wirral Council's 2021-2037 draft Local Plan. The phased development will create a new vibrant neighbourhood that will directly connect to and support the resurgence of the town centre. The Gross Development Value (GDV) for the project is estimated to be in the region of £550,000,000 to £575,000,000.

    The Master Development Agreement enables the Council and Ion to enter into Phase Development Agreements on satisfaction of conditions. The location of the site is land south and north Of Hind Street/ Blackpool Street, Waterloo Place, Birkenhead, Wirral and has a site area of 26.27ha. The site is made up of various parcels of land including land owned by both the Council and Ion, and the individual land parcels are intrinsically linked. Of particular note, as part of the regeneration of the site there is a requirement to demolish a flyover which straddles land that is owned by the Council and land that is owned by Ion. The Gross Development Value (GDV) for the project is estimated to be in the region of £550,000,000 to £575,000,000. The proposed development includes temporary compounds and access routes required to facilitate the works. The site is to be developed with a residential led masterplan, based on the principles of sustainable urban design. A minimum of 1,400 residential units will be constructed with supporting and ancillary commercial, business and service uses (Use Class E), Local Community and Learning uses (Use Class F), and Hotel (Use Class C1). The development is proposed to be split across five phases and primarily include demolition of the existing buildings and structures and construction of residential houses and apartments as well as ancillary uses. Enabling works are proposed to take place from Autumn 2025 with the first construction of new homes anticipated to commence in 2027. Ion will apply to the Secretary of State for Transport for a stopping up order under section 247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which permits an order to be made for the stopping up/ diversion of a highway necessary to enable development to be carried out in accordance with a planning permission. Further information regarding the development can be obtained online (https://www.wirral.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning-permission/search-planning-applications - planning reference OUT/23/01259).

Procedure rationaleThe works can only be provided by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The site is made up of various parcels of land including land owned by both the Council and Ion, and the individual land parcels are intrinsically linked. Of particular note, as part of the regeneration of the site there is a requirement to demolish a flyover which straddles land that is owned by the Council and land that is owned by Ion. Given the proximity of the various land parcels, coupled with the requirement for demolition works to be provided to the flyover on land controlled by Ion, the Council considers that Ion is the only developer able to deliver the regeneration works on the basis of Ion's existing exclusive rights over key areas of land within the overall regeneration site. In light of the above, and on the basis that key parts of the land that form the overall development site are owned (or optioned) by Ion, the Council has concluded there are no reasonable alternative or substitute developers who would be able to develop the site (given that much of the site is already owned by Ion) and for the reasons set out in this VTN, Ion is the only economic operator capable of providing the works on the basis of Ion's exclusive rights over parts of the site, including key parts of the site that are connected by the existing flyover.
