Ashford already has a strong track record of encouraging high design quality across the borough, with the Regional Design Panel in Ashford being the most recent example, established to help deliver the highest possible design standards in new homes, businesses and communities.

Sir Terry Farrell will now take this local vision to the national arena, and help to make Ashford a recognised centre of design excellence.

Ashford’s Design Ambassador I am delighted to have been appointed Ashford’s Design Ambassador. Having recently moved to the borough I am committed to helping Ashford to build on its recent successes and to identify further opportunities for the town to take advantage of its exceptional location and its many wonderful assets.

Our previous strategic work on behalf of HM Government in the Thames Gateway - and more recently for Kent County Council - has shown the importance of ‘painting a picture of possibilities’ in helping to build a shared understanding of what a place should aim to achieve in the longer term. Now that we face a time of fiscal constraint it is all the more important for Ashford to make the most of

recent achievements in public realm, buildings and infrastructure, and to collaborate closely with partners in the public and private sectors to maximise benefits of future investment.

Over the last decade Ashford has proved to be a place of dynamic change, and plans for further investment and growth here are amongst the most ambitious anywhere in the UK. My role is to support and build on all the excellent work that is being done in Ashford, and to help strengthen the links between different initiatives and projects in order to make the most of this energy to help build a coherent and enduring plan for Ashford’s future.

“My job is to articulate Ashford’s potential for growth, to elevate people’s understanding of what can happen here, to promote good design and to explore further opportunities to build on your design initiatives.”

Sir Terry Farrell

Building on a growing reputation for innovation in Ashford William Morris, textiles

As an important rail hub Ashford has a history of innovation. It was recognised for manufacturing and design excellence particularly in paper-making – William Morris was associated with this industry here and figures from other fields include the mathematician John Wallis and the renaissance doctor William Harvey after whom the local hospital is named.

Europe The arrival of high speed rail is extraordinarily beneficial to Ashford and East Kent. The service connects Ashford to a vibrant and changing part of central London, and it also improves links with the rest of the UK. Ashford should make the most of its new links with the universities in Bloomsbury,

the new University of the Fine Arts being built at King’s Cross, the British Library, the Wellcome Foundation and other major occupiers near St Pancras.

High speed rail represents an exciting opportunity for Ashford to re-think its role within Kent, the greater South East and the rest of the UK.

Differentiate Ashford as the place for high quality design and innovation in Kent A key aim of our work is to build on successful design-led initiatives to help Ashford to differentiate itself from Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury and other towns in Kent.

By emphasising its unique role within the county as a place that can expand on a large scale to the highest contemporary design standards, Ashford can complement what is on offer elsewhere within Kent as well as stand out from other towns as an exemplary 21st century town in an exceptional landscape setting.

We have identified a number of specific opportunities to reinforce recent successes as well as build on investment that is committed. This includes plans for the mixed use development at Elwick Place and the plans to reconfigure the new station forecourt as a new public space.

Station Square Integrate the Station with its neighbours “The Station Quarter has great potential to become a vibrant new destination as well as help to shape Ashford’s economy over the next 20 years.”

Our experience shows that high speed rail can completely transform places in a relatively short period of time if the stations are integrated with their surrounding context. The most successful stations can become the focus for vibrant city quarters that include civic amenities, work places, shops and restaurants. Stations can become an important resource for local communities and provide facilities which benefit local people.

Currently, it is difficult to reach either the domestic or international stations other than by vehicle. In order to make the most of the station and to maximise the benefits of the new service it is important to transform pedestrian connectivity and wayfinding between the station and the town centre in particular. But successful integration with the proposed Commercial Quarter, and links to the south of the existing railway and east to the Newtown railway works complex and the Designer Outlet are also important.

This site benefits from the connectivity that Ashford enjoys not only with London and the rest of the region but with continental Europe.

The site occupies a strategic location between the town centre and the station. There is a major opportunity to transform pedestrian connectivity with the high street; to the retail core through Memorial Gardens; and to the civic complex to the north. New frontage along the eastern edge will improve pedestrian routes along the River Stour while there is also

an opportunity to extend Ashford’s shared space along Station Road to the west in conjunction with this redevelopment.

The Commercial Quarter will build on investment being made in the station forecourt by introducing active ground floor uses and buildings facing the station must be of the highest architectural standards.

“New bridges will become icons which help to reinforce Ashford’s reputation as a place of exceptional connectivity and design excellence.”

New bridges should be built across the rail line to improve pedestrian connections between south Ashford and the town centre. These will transform the development potential of the Southern Expansion Quarter in support of investment in Victoria Way, a new road being built to improve links between the station and south Ashford. New bridges will provide local

people with improved connections to the retail core and access to all the positive change that is occurring in the town centre. These will also become icons which help to reinforce Ashford’s reputation as a place of exceptional connectivity and design excellence to a wide audience.

Ashford best placed

The Newtown railway works is a great heritage complex which could take advantage of its proximity to the international station to attract creative and design led industry and activity to Ashford as part of a mixed use residential area. This would complement the offer that will be available at the Commercial Quarter and could become a unique destination in Kent. These activities could take advantage of similar clusters focused around St Pancras as well as elsewhere on the high speed network, including at Folkestone and further afield on the continent.

Reinforce the High Street’s distinctive identities Ashford’s historic core has great potential to attract visitors and tourism as new employment, commercial activity and residents bring vibrancy to the rest of the town centre. Some of its streetscapes are as good as any in Kent. Ashford’s High Street has distinctive identities ranging from the intimate scale of the ‘New Rents’ at the western end to the generosity of the market area at the eastern end. Each part should have a clear programme that defines activities, a cultural strategy and an approach to improving landscape and street furniture design.

As one of the major growth areas in the greater south east Ashford is in a position to raise housing, infrastructure and landscape design on a large scale to the highest standards of sustainable design. The town already has a well developed strategy for integrating development with the landscapes of Kent, which can be further reinforced

for example by a clear strategy to improve entrances to the town at all points of arrival including by rail, car, bus, taxi, cycle and on foot. This can shift perceptions of Ashford as a place of design excellence and these strategies can be cost effective, small scale and incremental as well as ambitious as circumstances allow.

Supporting Ashford Design initiatives Over the last decade Ashford has built a reputation for a collaborative and innovative approach to design excellence. I will support work it has done and is doing with The Prince’s Foundation, Kent Architecture Centre and CABE. Ashford has initiated a ‘Regional Design Panel in Ashford’ which will do much to maintain standards of design excellence as Ashford grows and I support its work in engaging with the local design community (of which I am a part!). It is important to remember that in these challenging times design excellence – which is as much about how to make the most of finite resources as it is about what things look like - matters more than ever.

Creating an exciting place to live and work Commercial Quarter The Commercial Quarter is a 16 acre business district planned for the town centre, capitalising on Ashford’s outstanding transport links and a beautiful riverside location.

The area will become a new business hub for the town, with a footprint roughly equivalent to four times the

size of Ashford’s Charter House, and creating at least 2,500 new jobs.

The Commercial Quarter will be built on largely vacant brownfield land between Ashford International Station and Tannery Lane, offering occupiers unrivalled access to the 37 minute high speed train service to London and daily direct Eurostar trains to Paris, Brussels and Lille.

The district will champion high quality, modern building designs to make a lasting positive impression on the town’s business and leisure visitors.

In addition to the excellent access the area has to the town centre, the quarter will have its own street level shops and restaurants, offering even more employment opportunities, as well as 150 town houses fronting the River Stour.

The Commercial Quarter will be a magnet for business with strong links to Europe and London, and showcase Ashford’s unique business offer of competitive costs, prime location and outstanding transport connections.

Cost: Estimated to be in excess of £100m Completion: A masterplan is expected to be completed in 2010, after which discussions will begin with potential development partners in the private sector.

Elwick Place Elwick Place is a 6.65 acre vacant brownfield site in a prime town centre location - opposite the County Square shopping centre and the town’s pioneering ‘shared space’ traffic scheme, and adjacent to Ashford International station and the future Commercial Quarter (page 16).

Over the next few years and in various stages, the site will be transformed into an exciting mix of flats and town houses, restaurants, offices, shops and leisure outlets, creating a total of 300 homes and around 600 jobs.

The first phase of development will be concentrated around paved Elwick Square – the centre point of the shared space scheme – and will focus on providing excellent office space and leisure outlets, particularly restaurants, cafes and even a multi-screen cinema or hotel.

The development will provide 22,000 m2 of retail and leisure units, slightly more than the floorspace in the County Square shopping centre extension.

Stanhope plc – the developers behind the Tate Modern, and the Broadgate and Paternoster Square developments in the City of London, has signed a development agreement with landowners SEEDA to take the site forward.

A masterplan will be prepared over the next 12 months, with wide public consultation ahead of planning approval. It is hoped that the first stage of development will be completed late 2012.

Chilmington Green/ Cheeseman’s Green By 2031, Ashford will double in size with the creation of 31,000 new homes and 28,000 new jobs.

To accommodate this growth, two major new residential communities will be created to the south of the town - Chilmington Green and Cheeseman’s Green.

These new, thriving, sustainable neighbourhoods will offer high quality accommodation for all, and new leisure opportunities to create vibrant and fulfilling neighbourhoods.

Both areas will have access to new parks and open spaces, shops and community facilities, as well as excellent public transport connections to the town centre.

Station Improvements Ashford International station forecourt is being transformed into a stunning new public space to welcome commuters and visitors, and make it much easier to visit the town centre.

Ashford’s increasing population, the arrival of high speed trains and the planned Commercial Quarter opposite (see page 16) mean more people will be using the station and will use it as a meeting point.

The first phase of works to revamp the station’s ticketing hall, increase cycle parking and install banners and new trees around the entrance were completed early 2010.

• Increased cycle parking from 250 to 400 spaces • Relocation of the drop-off and pick-up point, the 20 minute short stay and disabled parking and the taxi rank to a more suitable location within the station forecourt area • A new and extended bus shelter The changes will significantly improve passengers’ experience of arriving in the town, create clearer links to the town centre and nearby businesses, and help make Ashford an inviting and connected town where people want to live, work and invest.

Victoria Way Victoria Way is an important new road that will help to open up investment opportunities in south Ashford and improve the travel choices for people coming to and from the town centre and International Station.

The new road will be an attractive, tree-lined avenue extending from the existing Victoria Road opposite the train station, and continue through brownfield industrial land to join with the A28 near Great Chart.

It will also include a new public square with seating and public art displays, as well as new shops, restaurants, cafes and homes.

There will also be opportunities for substantial business and commercial development, allowing the town to grow further south of the town centre.

The new route will also provide better access to the heart of the town centre from south Ashford’s new and existing communities and the picturesque rural villages along the A28.

Victoria Way will be delivered in phases as development along the route takes place. Phase 1 will involve creating the new tree-lined road from Beaver Road to the A28 Chart Road, and the new public square adjacent to Victoria Road Primary School.

The project has secured £16.5m Community Infrastructure Funding from Communities and Local Government and the Department for Transport, and is being delivered by Kent County Council on behalf of Ashford’s Future and the Homes and Communities Agency.

The proposed parks are: • Discovery Park – a family-orientated park incorporating the award-winning Singleton Environment Centre, and large enough to take a 40 minute jog or an hour-long walk.

• Conningbrook Park - a major water park with a variety of adventure and water-based activities, with associated residential development opportunities • Stour Riverside Park (south east Ashford) - a park following the Stour River, focusing on natural-themed walks and activities that encourage bio-diversity.

Ashford’s Future is conducting on-going public research into what facilities each park should offer its users. To have your say on what the parks should offer, visit the website below.

Completion: All three parks by 2031

Facilities for the new parks could include: • Boats for hire • Wind surfing • Zip wire • Cross-country running • BMX trails • Concert space • Organic farm shop • Arts and education centre • Sports field • Allotments • Nature walks • Cafe
