We developed a masterplan to guide and encourage high quality mixed use development and exemplary public spaces. To ensure design quality we developed a clear, simple spatial strategy for the site which was rigorously tested through design studies and consultation to ensure a robust and deliverable set of proposals.
The masterplan responds to local, regional and national guidance regarding scale, public space and energy use. The design is sufficiently flexible to allow development to grow organically, whilst setting in place key elements that will give this area a distinctive feel, including a belvedere park, pedestrian-friendly lanes and green vistas that capitalise on the sites topography and dramatic views.
