The Regal, Wallingford, Oxfordshire - feasibility review

We are looking for a property development solutions expert - with commercial and residential development experience - to evaluate the feasibility of a preferred concept for the redevelopment of a building and site owned by Wallingford Town Council, and to recommend an alternative route (from a list of options) if the preferred scheme is not considered feasible. The building is The Regal Centre, Goldsmith's Lane, Wallingford, OX10 0DN.

The Regal was constructed in 1933 as a cinema and ceased to operate in that capacity in 1973. It was then bought by the Town Council and converted into a community and indoor sports centre. The centre was closed in 2017 for health and safety reasons and has remained close since. The aspiration has been to develop the site into a multi-purpose space for the community's benefit. However, for different reasons, including access and cost, this vision has proved challenging to realise.
