Tendring District Council is commissioning a new Strategic Green Gaps (SGGs) Study to form a key part of the evidence base for the Local Plan Review, including an independent review of existing and proposed SGG designations and boundaries to ensure they are robust and defensible for the Regulation 19 Submission and capable of withstanding scrutiny at Examination in Public (EIP). A quotation exercise was undertaken and, following evaluation by the officer panel on 15 April 2026, The Landscape Partnership is recommended for appointment.
