## Description
This package of work represents the development of the detailed design for the community hub and associated accommodation as well as the detailed design for the Public Town Square for the town of Torpoint, in South East Cornwall.  A separate RIBA 3 report will be required for both elements.  Both elements will run concurrently and the timeline to achieve them is critical to the success of the project.  Grant Funding is paying for the delivery of both reports.
The Project will constitute a combined community and housing development overlooking the River Tamar, adjacent to the Ferry Lanes and at the base of the main shopping street in the Town alongside the creation of a public open space in the form of a town square adjacent to the community hub.
The focus must be on the ability to deliver a development with the community building at its centre with a clear understanding of potential cost. Both of these reports will support Torpoint and help them manage their way through local government funding and the detailed design must reflect this.  The combination of the two reports will describe the centre of the Torpoint community for the future.
Whilst the overall site is a significant development this quotation seeks to complete the detailed design (RIBA 3) study for the new community building and accommodation at the lower end of Fore Street on the site detailed in Enclosure 4.  The requirement also includes a separate detailed design (RIBA 3) study for the Public Open Space detailed in the Masterplan at Enclosure 3. The aim is to define the assets to be delivered, understand the risks, issues, opportunities and costs for both sites and be in a position to submit an outline planning application for both, enabling the requirements of the One Public Estate (OPE) funding and the needs of the town and its community.
