Design and Build of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), Cranbrook (East Devon)

Cranbrook in East Devon is a town which is being developed on a former green field site from scratch. Construction works started in 2011 and the first residents moved in during the following year. By early 2024, the town had grown to approximately 9,000 residents occupying just under 3,500 properties. The current Local Plan which covers the period until 2031 makes provision for the delivery of circa 8,000 homes housing in the region of 25,000 residents - so Cranbrook will be at least a medium-sized town and probably the second-biggest settlement in East Devon.

As part of the development, multi-use sports pitches were delivered in 2019 which are well-used. Cranbrook Town Council manages the sports pitches and is now looking to commission the construction of a multi-use games area (MUGA) at the site. This opportunity sets out the parameters and the Town Council is now inviting tenders for the design and construction works to enable the above.
