    Brief

    Sunderland City Council is seeking a qualified supplier to conduct a comprehensive Town Centre Study that will inform the preparation of the Sunderland Local Plan. This study will examine the current state of Sunderland's town centre, assess its strengths and challenges, and provide evidence-based recommendations to guide future planning policies and development strategies. The study should include analysis of retail, commercial, residential, and leisure functions, as well as accessibility, transport links, public realm quality, and potential regeneration opportunities. Deliverables will support the council's vision for sustainable town centre growth and inform strategic planning decisions.
