Proposed Native Broadleaf Woodland Area

The areas shown are the maximum theoretical visibility, taking into account topography, principal woodlands and buildings.

A digital surface model (DSM) has been derived from OS Terrain 50 height data with the locations of woodland and buildings taken from the OS Open Map Local dataset. Buildings have been modelled with an assumed height of 7.5m and woodland an assumed height of 15m, representing a conservative estimate of average heights within the study area.

Proposed Common Reed Planting

The model does not take into account some localised features such as small copses, hedgerows or individual trees and therefore still gives an exaggerated impression of the extent of visibility. The actual extent of visibility on the ground will be less than that suggested by this plan.

UNIVERSITY WORK

I graduated with a first class (BA) honours degree in Landscape Architecture and Planning from the University of Sheffield in Summer 2021. The course was a motivating start to a career in the environmental services.

The diverse curriculum taught me to problem solve and challenge myself creatively and graphically through working on a wide range of research-based projects, a selection of which are found on the next pages.

Sheffield is the UK’s leading destination for outdoor adventure combined with city culture. In 2018 the creative industries sector contributed £248.12 million to local wealth, but the recent pandemic has put the arts under threat...

Vision With Sheffield being sold as a creative outdoor city, here is opportunity to bring people from all walks of life together and revitalise the economy through art installations and performances in a naturalistic environment.

Taking the theme ‘NO BOUNDARIES’, the site will serve as a gallery without walls and a theatre with no curtains. Lines will become blurred between urban and nature, inside and outside...

Project Scenario

CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE MASTERPLANNING

New pathways

Taking inspiration from the land art movement, chosen hard materials take curvaceous naturalistic forms and will be recycled or recyclable where possible. A palette of natural stone, wood and weathered steel seeks to blend with wild vegetation; an antidote to the brutalist architecture of Park Hill Flats. Local sculptors will be commissioned to curate large scale exhibitions, dramatising the site’s steep topography and embodying the notion of erosion over time.

DETAILED PLANTING AND CONSTRUCTION DESIGN NO BOUNDARIES SHEAF VALLEY PARK, SHEFFIELD The second part of this project taught me practical design and AutoCAD graphic skills, as well as providing an introduction to landscape planning for the future.

By 2050 it is predicted that Sheffield will be 2 degrees warmer, hence there will be a need for drought tolerant planting and cooling hard materials. The planting plan and contractor’s drawings (left) explore the use of futuristic, sustainable materials in Sheaf Valley Park.

ECOLOGICAL DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT A PLACE TO CALL HOME FOR PEOPLE AND NATURE ARBOURTHORNE FIELDS, SHEFFIELD An ecological design concept for a disused green space in a deprived area of Sheffield, this project explores how users and wildlife could be drawn back into the site through low cost and maintenance strategies, such as biodiversity rich meadow planting with glades for activity.

Due to the site’s steep topography rain water management was a key design issue, which was addressed by the inclusion of swales and temporary flood water retention ponds, as well as extensive tree planting to intercept rain water run-off.

Detailed establishment and management guidance was produced for an area of ‘Semi-Natural Woodland and Perennial Meadow’, ensuring the ongoing success of the planting and that the space will be well-used for years to come.

DETAILED PLANTING DESIGN A WARM WELCOME ARBOURTHORNE, SHEFFIELD The planting strategy for this project was to create an inviting atmosphere through year round colour in the landscape surrounding a new community library, encouraging users to reconnect with books and nature. A combination of native and non-native, more drought tolerant, low maintenance species were used in response to climate change.

URBAN PLANNING LIFE ON THE EDGE SHEFFIELD’S CULTURAL INDUSTRIES QUARTER Taking the theme ‘Life on the Edge’ this project was led by research from the University of Sheffield Landscape Department , which shows that unlocking the edges of buildings is the key to promoting social life on the streets. The drawings illustrate some simple ways to activate the area outside of buildings in Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter, such as moveable seating, shelter and public art installations.

Reading Gordon Cullen’s book ‘The Concise Townscape’ also encouraged me to focus on the sequential pedestrian journey, using a series of bottom-up design interventions, such as public displays of art, diverse street furniture and urban greening.

This dynamic new neighbourhood is part of a wider context, hence the masterplan goes beyond the site boundary to bring new life to neighbouring areas, as well as offering facilities and services for the whole of Sheffield to enjoy.

Education: Springfield Primary School is a 4-minute walk from the site, whilst King Edward’s Upper School and Sheffield College might take around 20 minutes to reach by foot.

Figure 7.1: Sketch-Up model of site (created at 1:1000 scale)

Reflection: Perhaps access to this village-green-esque space should be restricted to Milton St residents only, as the current design encourages members of the general public to wander through the housing. More could also be done to soften the transition from formal to naturalistic landscape.

Bollards and feature tree signify arrival in pedestrianised zone.

Reflection: Where the existing building and courtyard have been repurposed as a nursery, there is gated-entry for safety.

3m high walls with gates ensure only residents living in a specific housing block can access green space within.

Although this is the Southern-most part of the site, the density of the buildings has created high levels of shade, hence the quantity of houses should be reduced for a more liveable environment.

Thin entrypoints deter non-residents from coming through this area.

Trees seperate cars from pedestrians.

Walls and hedges create boundaries between private and semi-private streets.

SCHOOL ROUTE IDEA

The axonometric drawing shows how residents may alter their interior and exterior homes over time. It is important to avoid being too prescriptive through design, so that people can accommodate the scheme as they so choose (McGlynn, 1985).

Dense buffer planting limits health problems caused by the busy road and add privacy to housing.

Vibrant perennial planting brings colour and wildlife opportunities to existing barren roads.

Reflective Comments: 1. As discussed in the literature review, loneliness is a systemic problem amongst the elderly, hence there is a shared threshold to the housing to promote social activity. Perhaps a gate could be added to create a clearer defintion between the ‘High Street’ and private residences.

Solar panels are visible from the front of the housing, sending out a sustianable message to passersby, aiming to increase social acceptance of renewables (Uttley, 2020).

Couples and/or single people living in the apartments are likely to need less outdoor space, but more privacy, hence each apartment has a private balcony or roof garden.

Family and eldery housing should include larger private gardens on the ground-level.

2. The wall-seating aims to encourage residents to interact with life on the street, seen in the

4. The semi-permeable gate affords planting and marks a clear transition into private space. It is suggested that residents have a key to improve the security of this space, due to its urban setting.

Techological improvements and higher social acceptance of renewables could see more residents switching to solar power.

On behalf of Cemex, I undertook the LVIA for the proposed extension of land under which Willington Quarry in Derbyshire operates. My first experience of project management, I was involved with each stage of the landscape planning process.

NCN Link (on road route)

As part of the desk study phase, I used GIS mapping software to provide baseline information (left). A digital terrain model was also created with Global Mapper and used to indicate the Zone of Theoretical Visibility. The figures were used as tools to identify appropriate viewpoint locations for the LVIA photography.

The proposed development was overlooked by an historic conservation area with no option for screening mitigation during the 2 year extraction period. However, it was argued that the residual economic benefits brought by excavation, as well as the improvements to biodiversity and the opportunities for recreation resulting from the restoration scheme would outweigh any temporary adverse effects. The long-term design responded carefully to the historic vernacular setting of the project and aimed to protect key views across the landscape from elevated locations.

FIGURE DATA: This figure has been based on the following data: Views towards site widely screened by sloping landform and vegetation

Layout file: 4m-observers-5km-screening ZTV Terrain data: T5 with contours-buildings-woodland Viewer's eye height: 2m above ground level Calculation grid size: 5m NOTES: This drawing is based upon computer generated Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) studies produced using the Viewshed routine in the Visibility Analysis plugin for QGIS. The areas shown are the maximum theoretical visibility, taking into account topography, principal woodlands and buildings.

A digital surface model (DSM) has been derived from OS Terrain 5 height data with the locations of woodland and buildings taken from the OS Open Map Local dataset. Buildings have been modelled with an assumed height of 7.5m and woodland an assumed height of 15m, representing a conservative estimate of average heights within the study area.

The model does not take into account some localised features such as small copses, hedgerows or individual trees and therefore still gives an exaggerated impression of the extent of visibility. The actual extent of visibility on the ground will be less than that suggested by this plan.

The ZTV includes an adjustment that allows for Earth’s curvature and light refraction. It is based on a derived DSM and has a 0.075m2 resolution.

Viewpoint 7: Cokhay, Burton Road PHOTOSHEET (type 1)

Informed by best practice described within GLVIA3 (2013), I took 360 degree panoramic photography representative of existing views of the landscape. Photos were merged together using PTGui, a type of photo stitching software, and annotated using InDesign. The final photosheets shown (left) were used to inform the judgements on effects arising from the proposal within the final LVIA report.

Specification:

One of my first pieces of ‘real world’ practical design work, I produced the landscape masterplan for a proposed holiday park in North Yorkshire. The design incorporates native planting to blend with existing landscape character, as well as wild-flower grassland areas to boost biodiversity and bring joy and colour to the site.
