Finchley Memorial Hospital
Options Appraisal refresh/update brief

CHP are the freeholder of a site in Finchley, part of which could possibly be developed or disposed of
as surplus to clinical requirements. The area in question is identified hatched in red on the attached
plan.
CHP commissioned an options appraisal in July 2017, which identified that the greatest capital
receipt would result from residential development of the site. There have however been
developments in potential alternative uses (in particular Homes for NHS staff) and in the political
agenda since that report was issued.
CHP would therefore like to refresh the options appraisal for the site, to identify a preferred option
that can be taken to the CHP Board for approval. CHP therefore require an options appraisal for the
site that considers:
-

-

Possible uses for the site – setting out assumptions on unit numbers, sizes, floor area and
tenure mix. These proposals should reference planning and title constraints, as set out in
the previous options report and subsequent planning advice
A risk matrix setting out risks, advantages and disadvantages and likely capital receipt for
each option
A feasibility appraisal for each option setting out assumptions on build costs, on-costs etc to
allow a like-for-like comparison between options

CHP would like the following considered as part of this exercise:
-

“Homes for NHS staff” agenda
Generation of a capital receipt
Possible retention of the freehold and granting a 30-year ground lease.

CHP has identified the following uses, but we would not consider these exhaustive:
-

Private residential
Affordable residential
Key worker residential
Extra care residential (either publicly or privately funded)
Hybrids of the above that deliver the political agenda, but generate an element of value to
support the other use.

CHP is seeking a cost for delivering the options appraisal, timescales to deliver the report and an
indication of the capability of the supply chain that you intend using to deliver the report. At the
end of the initial options appraisal phase, we would envisage a meeting to review the options and
discuss trade-offs. We would then want a preferred option recommendation, and a plan for
delivery.
