GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PLAN : BARNWOOD ARBORETUM.

Construction details

Construction details for the development of a Park site. The site was undulating and in places poorly drained. To create access to wild spaces I needed to create pathways that were robust, free draining and not too intrusive. The materiality and the construction of SuDS managed the landscape to allow visitors to dwell and explore.

Sketches and ideas and visualisations.

Below are some examples of sketches and visualisations employed to bring a concept to life. From early sketches and ideas to visualisations to suggest a vernacular for a supplementary planning reports. The dipiction of people within the sites adds character as well as scale.

Built form and construction drawings.

The brief was to create a cafe and seating area in the heart of Barnwwod Arboretum and Park. I researched many ideas for the materials for the bulit form and the surfaces prioritising their resilience and “sponge” qualities. Stabilising planting and retaining walls were needed to create a spillout seating area for the cafe.

Site Analysis and context.

As part of a study of the Grey Friars Redevelopment Project it was important to analyse the site and its context. Below are the majot pedestrianised routes with central Gloucester. The Hydrology, green and blue infrastuctures, built form, heritage, aspect and topology were similarly visualised.

STRETEGIC LAYERS FOR THE MASTER PLANNING OF A NEW SETTLEMENT IN THE FOREST OF DEAN

STRATEGY SHEET.

The landscape provides the character and context of the settlement. The site sits within an historic and characterful landscape of rolling meadows bounded by ancient hedgerows. To the North East is the native and semi ancient woodland of Ley Park to the south pasture land runs down to the river Severn. The GI of the settlement has maintained 80% of existing hedgerow and creates a further 100% increase in linear hedgerow planting along existing watercourses and green active travel routes and roads of the site.

The land to the north of the site is designated for bio fuel crops and also has biodiverse native planted buffers and riparian habitats along the Westbury brook and mitigation ponds and suds features. Community orchards and allotment space take into account the heritage of the area and area a key component of the recreational green spaces. the pedestrian and active travel routes that crisscross the site are also wildlife corridors and provide permeability for people and nature.

The GI provides economic sustainability for the settlement and while the settlement is not self-contained the GI provides jobs and a boost to the local economy. The Anaerobic digester has potential to get 60% of its raw materials from the north of the site. Orchards an allotments supplement diets and provide for local retail and schools. LAPS, LEAPS. NEAPS are components of the GI and use natural local materials in their construction. The GI is an important part of the SuDS design of the settlement and permeates the site. Green streets encourage active travel, clean air and healthy lives.

Multifunctional recreation green space. Playgrounds, allotments parkland and community orchards.

Existing GI characterised as green riparian woodland and hedgerows. Native trees and shrubs with upto 40% Oak.

Green crop. Productive landscape providing bio-fuel and animal feed. Crops include rye, sugar beet and corn.

Green Buffer and existing woodland including Ley Park and existing green corridor along rail line.

Potential green roof infrastructure across housing typolgogies from low to dense massing dependent of specific aspect and design.

ACCESS AND MOVEMENT

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE.

The landscape of the settlement is a complex system of meadows and irrigation ditches and brooks. The water has been carefully managed to mitigate flooding and irrigate crops for centuries. The management of water on the site makes use of these existing systems. Water naturally flows from the highest parts of the site around Blaisdon and into the brooks that run to the Severn. The existing irrigation channels and waterways have been maintained and augmented. The main Westbury Brook has an additional retention pond which provides opportunity for creating a species rich environment and potential for introduction of beavers and other threatened species. It also crucially allows for retention of flood waters and is part of a system of retention ponds throughout the settlement which manage and slow the flow of rain water and increase biodiversity and the range of habitats. The Settlement will, with the construction of roads and buildings, create more runoff and these are mitigated through the use of swales and rills that are integral design components of routes and buildings across the settlement. The surfaces are pervious and SuDS systems are a response to climate change and designed to manage increasingly severe flood events. The immediate proximity of the Westbury Brook is flood Zone 2 and has been prioritised for mitigation infrastructure including mitigation ponds and native woodland planting. These areas exemplify the interplay of the green and blue infrstructure. both are interdependent and thedesign creates a sustainable and increased species rich environment that works with nature.

Retention ponds. The ponds managed by a system of leats and sluices provide flood defences and rich wildlife habitats.

Attenuation Ponds. These ponds capture rainwater, slow the rate of water into the Severn and provide habitat and irrigation water.

Surface water direction.The flow of surface water dictates the alignment of SuDs features on site and the wider landscape. Watercourse flow direction. Water flows on and off the settlement and is mangaged from source to discharge in the Severn

Water courses. Existing and new and augmentented water courses work with the terrain and account for new infrastrcture.

Blaisdon Hub.

Active Travel, dwelling and Economic Centres of the settlement.

The movement strategy promotes sustainable modes of travel across the settlement. The settlement is well connected to mass transport systems and has a main rail and transport hub. The hubs of which there are three provide access to electric bikes, scooters and buggies for use within the settlement and beyond. Active travel is promoted though open dedicated and inviting green routes which are car free. There is car access to 70% of the site. EVs are accommodated with charging points and residential and peripheral parking areas. The disused railway is a walking and wheeling superhighway and is linked in to the National Cycle Network. Businesses such as local shops and cafes are strategically placed along routes creating inclusive, inviting, green travel corridors that are as much a destination as a means of getting from A to B. The settlement is created to be as permeable as possible with routes leading to adjacent towns and villages and green space. Access to major national and regional routes is key as commuting for work is an inevitable aspect of the economy of residents. A new road links to the A4136 and the A40 in the north and there is good access to the A48 to the south. All the amenities of the site are within a walkable distance and there is duplication of communitiy resoiurces to ensure that education soial and healthcare facilities are within easy reach. Local fulfillment centres at the hubs cut carbon emmisions of last mile deliveries down by 80%. employment infrastructure such as light industry is located near the train station. rsidentilal area promote Home Zones and walkability with play on the way opportunities and give people priority.

Northwood Green Hub.

There is an average net density of 46 dwellings per hectare (dph) with a range of house types from 1 bedroom apartments to large, detached houses. The high density build is around the three hubs of the settlement which are the major transport hubs and community and business areas. There is a delineation of high medium and low density. These densities have variation within them and offer very low density when adjacent to sensitive areas such as riverside, wild, riparian and existing woodland areas. Similarly, dph will be higher at the settlement centres. The spatial distribution of the housing is designed to create inclusive vibrant communities that are well designed, sustainable and carbon neutral. They are a part of the green infrastructure with 50% supporting green roofs all with access to private or communal gardens and growing spaces and all built prioritising solar gain. All the housing of the settlement follow the Passivhaus design principles and orientate to the east- west axis 30° off set for maximum gain. This fits with the slope and aspect of the site which influenced its shortlisting in phase1.While the built forms address environmental sustainability they also foster social and economic sustainability. For example, sustainable transport options such as cycling and walking reduce environmental impact but also bring benefits for personal health and well-being; walkable communities encourage social connection. In addition to the 5275 dwellings covering 110ha there is employment land and social and community land covering a combined 84ha. GI accounts for 50% of the total which brings the land budge for the settlement to 388ha.

VISUALISATIONS AND SECTIONS FOR THE SETTLEMENT IN THE FORES OF DEAN

BUILDING TYPOLOGIES.

HIGH DENSITY CENTRES.

There are 4 main centres of the settlement. The primary travel and contextual hub is to the south east and is the main train station. It provides up to 6 storey 1 to 4 bed apartments with mixed retail and social amenity spaces on the ground floor. The second in the centre of the settlement provides similar dwelling density with shops, entertainment, education and social and healthcare amenity. The third to the south west differs in that it is traffic free and while offering all the above amenity and housing density it is served by active travel routes and EV connectivity for services such as waste. The last hub has a different character again and is the historic village of Blaisdon. A conservation area that is developed as a s social and heritage focal point. The hubs are vibrant and characterful living spaces that are destinations, places to dwell as much as they are gateways to the world beyond. the high density areas bring green infrastructure into the communal and civic spaces. the GI is multifunctional in nature. The swales and rills offer opportunity for increasing biodiversity as do wild orchards and parks and water features suchas the retention ponds. The tree lined streets, green roofs and planted open spaces mitigate the Albedo effect and provide natural beauty in theheart of the settlement.

MEDIUM DENSITY DWELLING.

These areas are primarily residential but have a wide variety of shops and small business strategically scattered within them. Cafes and exhibition spaces near parks and green infrastructure. personal transport hubs with workshops and retail as well as cafes and education centres are situated along the traffic free routes of the settlement. The green and blue infrastructures inform the layout of the settlement and he travel arteries that flow through it. The linear green corridors of the retained hedgerows and riparian corridors of the brooks take precedence over the new development. Bridges cross the brooks and roads follow the lines of the wildlife corridors allowing them, where possible, to be uninterrupted. The streets follow the Home Zone and Garden communities design codes and put the priority on safe, green, living streets that are enjoyable place to be. The housing is mixed in architectural design but has key features. It follows Passivhaus design and where possible has flat green roof systems and photovoltaic provision throughout. The housing is aligned for maximum solar gain and uses local sustainable materials in their construction. Within these parameters there is scope for a range of different architectural styles and approaches which give the settlement a varied architectural pallet.

LOW DENSITY DWELLING.

The division of the housing densities is not rigid in its layout. There is a seamlessness to the movement from one zone to another and there is variation at their borders particularly when in proximity to green and blue infrastructure and road networks. The low density dwelling areas have many of the design qualities of the medium and high areas. The housing encourages active travel through connectivity and providing offsite parking and good public transport. Most areas are accessible by car, with incentive to low and no emission vehicles.The GI in the low density dwelling areas is multi-functional and nature led. The design prioritises increasing biodiversity and maintaining natural processes in the landscape particularly along the brooks, native woodlands and meadows. Here there are opportunities to live sustainably and sympathetically within the natural environment. There are more gardens, private and communal and opportunities for both recreational and productive use. With greater space between properties there is also provision for wind turbines to accompany solar panels on the largely green and brown roof spaces. Dwellings within the low density areas can be up to 4 storeys high and cluster dwellings in order to avoid replication of resources such as heating and waste management.

FULLY RENDERED MASTERPLAN DRAWING OF A SITE IN BRISTOL

DETAILED PLANTING SCHEDULE FOR THE BRISTOL SITE

Masterplan.

In this master plan I have tried to convey the concept of the whole development without the overall impression being too cluttered. I have populated the zones of the site with people to give a sense of use, life and activity. The planting was core to the overall concept and I have rendered it in vibrant greens and darker shadow. It aims to keep an analogue feel and not be overly rendered. I was mindful that this is a diagram and while being engaging needs to convey the necessary information.

LAYOUT OF SOME PRECEDENT IMAGES AND THEIR TRANSFERABLE QUALITIES

PRECEDENT STUDIES.

1. and 4. Bottière Chênaie. Nantes, France.

This award winning development is landscape led multi-density site that develops the ecology and existing natural environment o brilliant effect. Describes itself as an “urban park that goes hand in hand with and balances the new densities, its mainly indigenous vegetation will contribute to the expression of a nature regained.” It uses parcels of multi-functional green infrastructure set withing a framework that follows the natural lay of the land including the water ways and field systems.

Transferable qualities.

The project makes the water features central to the development and a key part of the settlements identity. Beech Brook and Longhope Brook flow from the core forest and into Westbury Brook and within 2 miles into the river Severn. This focus on blue infrastructure and the biodiversity it carries is core to the settlements design.

The use of Passivhaus and mixes of sustainable architectural styles influenced the design of the settlement.

The mingling of productive small communal gardens and park land amongst dwellings too give a strong identity and put the green infrastructure at the heart of the development.

2. MeMo House in San Isidro, Argentina, The house was developed as a 3-dimensional garden and dwelling.

Transferable Qualities

Designed to have the minimal impact on the natural landscape of the site, the garden connects all architectural floors and creates a continuous garden terrace. The boundaries between landscape and dwelling a blurred and are merged.

3. Bioswale for stormwater treatment at the Meriwether mixed use development in the South Waterfront District, Portland, Oregon. Transferable Qualities

The swales bring nature led habitat and increased biodiversity into the street and avenues of the settlements and perform a vital water/ flood management role. Their permeability is a key feature with multiple types of crossing.

5. Bristol and Bath Railway Path, Bristol to Bath. Transferable qualities

This traffic free route follows a disused railway line along the Avon valley and has many similarities to the line that runs through the settlement. It has developed existing GI and has become a destination as much as a route. Active travel routes increase peoples health, not just

The approach is essential for meeting 2030 carbon targets and his impacts not just the success of the settlement but the global climate and biodiversity of the surrounding landscape.

3.Upton,Northhampton Upton is an exemplar Eco Town development, pioneering the sustainable urban neighbourhood.

Transferable Qualities. Homes are ultra sustainable and affordable they support the economic model of the settlement in line with garden communities. The native woodland and open spaces surround the developments and the housing is pat of the landscape and not at odds with it.

The SuDS across the site were introduced to mitigate surface water flooding resulting from increased urban development. However SuDS also deliver multiple environmental benefits. In addition to managing flows, volumes, and diffuse pollution some components (particularly vegetated or landscaped features) can positively impact air quality and reduce carbon.

5. Mobility hub. Glasgow, Trongate, Scotland. There are four major hub across the settlement with smaller satellite hubs throughout. They are vital to the connectivity of the site. Transferable Qualities. Mobility hubs increase transport links, improve public health, bring economic benefits to the local community and save people money They enable people to a make healthy choices about how they travel

1.Flimwell park, East Sussex. The design Flimwell Park has been inspired by ecologists, planners and designers who have built upon the historic relationship between the region and its landscape. it is small scale, over 46 acres but prioritises the landscape building sympathetically within native woodland. Transferable Qualities. The site prioritises the value of woodlands for benefiting residents health and wellbeing. The site is within an area of outstanding beauty and works with the existing landscape. The hedgerows of the settlement are richly biodiverse and contain many large mature native trees particularly Oak the need to protect and enhance these habitats is essential and done well at Flimwell.
