UK Economy 2007-Present The economic trends of the UK show a gradual reduction in sales within highstreet retail and more online shoppers. This trend has only been increased due to Covid-19 and therefore highstreet shops are starting to suffer with restaurants and cafes then having a knock on affect. However, budget food companies like home bargains are thriving and are seemingly sustainable within the current climate as more people choose their shops as a cheaper alternative to getting food deliveries from places such as Tesco or Asda. This is also due to more people choosing to stay at home during the outbreak which has caused a surge in demand for food retail with a similar growth in food retail warehousing. Restaurants, cafes and public houses may have enjoyed the month of eat out to help out but are now suffering again due to the huge short term fall. Companies are aware that high streets and shopping centres will never be the same again. They are starting to convert idle space for new uses particurlarly for housing, gyms and childcare.

250 m (NTS)

• The 2020 graph shows all the ground floor businesses in the chosen site. As you can see around half the site is retail at 51.8% which has not changed much since 2008. The high street shops seem to be very low-end retail which in turn makes them viable as rents won’t be as high as higher end retail stores. • The recently developed student accommodation buildings named Calico sit north-west on the site in the top left corner. • The site has no residential space on the ground floor other than a couple of student accommodation blocks in 2020 (Calico and Kexgill Court). However, there were an increase of two residential spaces in the 2008 graph. This could be an indication of how successful residential properties are in the area because are none in this present moment (excluding apartments and accommodation above the ground floor). • The services (blue), have seen a recent development in the last 12 years other than Calico. The service being VIP Maternity and Health LTD. The purpose of this establishment is to offer extra care during pregnancy with an environment to provide comfort and education in preparation to being a parent. This business joins the other two on site regarding healthcare. Brook Healthcare for Young People sits right next to VIP Maternity. While Kays Pharmacy, which is also based on London Road, is the only other healthcare business on the site. • The are currently 5 restaurants/cafes on the site. A newer one being Costa Coffee which is a massive chain of coffee shops. Daikya Noodle Bar is a take away/dine in noodle bar that sits on the corner of Gidart Street and London Road. • There are no Restaurants that have stayed in business that were running in 2008. A factor here may be the lack of leisure in the area attracting people in to the area along with the very low numbers of residential buildings. • The relationship of the site to the city centre economically wise shows that the site has been left behind in terms of development. Areas like Liverpool One have high end stores with a various range of shops. • Vacant buildings could potentially be renovated into residential space. Vacant buildings are more frequent on Stratford street in 2020 than in 2008. This could say something about how successful fabric shops now are in the current economic climate. • The car parks on the site have not changed between 2008 to present. If residential space on the site was to increase then a possible multi storey car park could be put onto the plan. • On Stratford Street, you can see the change between the 2008 and 2020 graphs. There was a total of 8 businesses on Stratford street in 2008 (within our site) that are no longer there in 2020. Most of the businesses were retail and could give a good indication to how successful these types of low-end shops are on this street.

04 / Key Aspects of Analysis

The materials used throughout the Fabric District seem to stay consistent with brick and mortar. There is also various street art all over the site. While some of it looks like it has been done legally, some street art can give an idea to how safe the area is in terms of crime.

Plan 1:500

Through our analysis of the Fabric District and our proposed 250 x 200m site, we have decided to approach our strategy with children, the elderly, and maybe surprsingly nightlife in mind. We would like to create a versatile day-to-night space which all members of the community can benefit from, whether that be a town square proposed in the plan above, incorporating vegetation and possibly a community garden, or a open market which locals can sell produce in which morphs into a nightlife venue as the evening progresses.

The graph to the right shows the population density within Liverpool and the surrounding area. The graph shows that per kilometre squared, there are 10,000 people throughout Liverpool. This includes the chosen site.

S u n l i Proposed g h t Square Study In the UK, the sun rises in the east, comes around to the south and sets in the west. This means that the site will never cast a shadow on the open public space on London Road. As for on the site, you can see in June that all the open spaces (which are mainly car parks) are full of sunlight. In March they look about 25% covered by sunlight. This is a good result caused by the low height of the buildings in the area. In December, the shadows are long and do cover a lot of the site- this is expected in the winter months.

We also think the community could benefit from a new residential property in the area. From the economics report we found Map not Comparing that retail and food businesses have beenPopulation veryDensity successful in the area with a lot of places closing down in the past 12 years. In Great Britain: Mid-2019 Adding a residential building would boost the sites success rate in these areas of business. We would like to make the Fabric District a inviting and vibrant area, celebrating diversity and culture. Recent Developments Proposed Site

This graph shows that the Square perProposed centage of people in Liverpool aged 65+ is 14.8%. This is a low number and should be taken into consideration when thinking about the development of an urban plan.
