Additionally, to provide support to the compensation negotiations with Scottish and Southern Energy in respect of the possible undergrounding of overhead power cables across the North of Winchester Street site by supplying engineering and master-planning design work to support a negotiator, respond and reflect the outcome of these negotiations in the outline planning application submission.
Provision of a specialist utilities negotiator in relation to the undergrounding of the overhead power cables; the site was selected for a new secondary school in partnership with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). The service-led necessity to open the School by September 2020 dictated a revised planning strategy and a planning application with full details of the secondary school and primary site infrastructure in addition to the outline level of detail for other elements of the development. The addition of the secondary school within the application has significantly changed the basis of the planning application. The application is now a “hybrid application” which includes elements relating to the school being submitted and elements relating to the housing only in outline. To facilitate the early delivery of the school elements of the highway improvements required need to link with the route of a planned by-pass for Botley, which has resulted in the need for further liaison, changes to reports and additional survey work.
This has resulted in additional work not previously allowed for in the original contract sum, namely:
— additional transport modelling and design work including liaison with by-pass team, EIA team and Highways,
As identified at VII.2.1) Description of the modifications. Due to the highly complex and intersecting nature of the project, the intricate overall planning strategy and significant amount of work already undertaken, it would be impossible to separately scope the additional work and services from that already undertaken, even if it were possible, huge inefficiencies and problems would be created by adding another consultant team to the project and at this late and critical stage of the project. The appointment of a new consultant team would not only be highly complex to co-ordinate but would generate a significant and unreasonable time delay, duplication of services already undertaken, and additional cost which would mean the critical objectives of the project could not be delivered putting the project in serious risk of non-delivery.
