● Critique and challenge the Masterplan

● Collate information on other town centre projects and include within the wider master plan eg Improving Rail Access to the town and Improvements to the Railway Station
● Integrate updated reports on retail and residential demand.
● Establish current occupier demand and potential mix and scale of uses.
● Establish a baseline of existing occupiers by type across the whole of the town centre
● Implement an estate management strategy with occupiers in St Tydfil’s in line with ongoing development plans.
● Establish a phasing plan for development within the masterplan
● Establish a business case for each phase of the proposed development.
● Consider different types of delivery models for agreed developments.
● Recommend preferred development models in the best interests of the Council and which Officers can use to make recommendations to Cabinet. For instance, the appointment of a specialist JV partner or Consultant in Town Centre Redevelopment
