## Description

Amber Valley Borough Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced consultants to deliver a detailed feasibility study for the disused Science Block in Heanor\. The building is in a very prominent location and is seen as a blight on the landscape and an eyesore\. That alone is not sufficient evidence to invest in the site\. Finances for regeneration projects are highly sought after, and a feasibility study for potential uses of the site which the Science Block stands on, backed with market research, will provide a stronger business case for redevelopment on site\.
