Alney Island SWOC and layers analysis

Key Site Layers

The River Severn circulates the site which was the biggest strength of Alney Island. There are fascinating views of the river that connects people to nature, and provides great circulation to the site.

There is minimal access onto the site, that creates poor use of the site. Electrical pylons run throughout the site, giving a sense of danger, as well as the island having a poor reputation for flooding, damaging hundreds of homes.

The opportunity to create a strong sense of place through connection to the river Severn and the nature reserve on site. There’s lots of existing Fauna and flora, which should be used to connect people with nature.

Noise pollution on site echoes throughout the site. The floodable land makes it inaccessible throughout parts of the year. The privately owned parts of the site also makes some design choices not possible.
