LAA 201 Urban Landscape Design - North Place/Portland Street

Daniel Watts s1009849

Cheltenham Borough Council has identified North Place/Portland Street as one of a number of key sites within Cheltenham Town Centre which it intends to redevelop in line with it’s Civic Pride objectives as outlined in the Cheltenham Civic Pride Urban Design Framework (2010 revision) The purpose of this document is to illustrate concept proposals for the redevelopment of North Place and Portland Street Car Parks in Cheltenham, utilising design techniques outlined within ‘Responsive Environments’ (Bentley et al, 2008)

1.1 The Brief Creation of a vibrant mixed use development to include: • • • • •

100 new dwellings at an appropriate density and configuration.

300 car parking spaces.

6 bay coach node and associated infrastructure.

At least one major public open space All street frontages and those of adjacent streets must be suitably connected to the new landscape.

Cheltenham Civic Pride Urban Design Framework (2010 revision) states ‘a green corridor connecting Montpellier Park with Pittville Park should be created, encouraging a promenading theme to reflect Cheltenham’s spa town past.’ This concept is a key driver of the proposals within this document. The document goes on to establish a set of general principles regarding land usage and design standards as part of Cheltenham Town Centres future development objectives.

Some of the key aims outlined within the document are the need to retain and enhance views of the Cotswold Escarpment, and a need to create stronger connections between the different ‘quarters’ of the town centre and a desire to strengthen the relationship between the medieval High Street and the Regency Promenade.

1.0 Introduction

1.2 The Concept

1.0 Introduction

The site is a key node connecting the town centre with Pittville Park and the residential suburbs to the North.

The site lies within a key transitional boundary zone between commercial/ retail and residential.

This transition is very much delineated by the Northern boundary of the site. With a clear change in the density and physical/ social characteristics of the area beyond.

Any development addressing this boundary should reflect this by being of a smaller scale and primarily residential in nature, with the larger components addressing St Margarets Road and the town centre beyond.

This will ensure that the development offers variety but is also legible and visually appropriate.

Maintaining and strengthening these cues is essential in the creation of a ‘Responsive Environment’ (Bentley et al, 2008)

The primary objective of the development must be to create a ‘Responsive Environment’ (Bentley et al, 2008)

LAA 201 Urban Landscape Design - North Place/Portland Street

Daniel Watts s1009849

2.1 Site overview

It is a predominantly flat brownfield site, currently laid out as two car parks, and as such exhibits excellent permeability. The area to the West of North Place was the former site of St Margaret’s Villa, a large residence and it’s estate, which subsequently became the ticket office for St Margarets’ Coach Station with it’s famous Black and White fleet. The area to the East, the former site of Regency terraces, now demolished. There is a slight level change from East to West with the lowest point being the North West corner of the site, with a step of approx 600mm where the site abutts Northfield passage, this step decreases towards the East becoming level after approximetely 40 m. The general condition of the site is poor, with a variety of surface treatments and patchy repairs visible offering little richness or genius loci.

Boundary fencing is missing in sections corresponding with pedestrian desire lines from Northfield passage North-South through the site, indicating issues with permeability and legibility. There are a small number of notable semi-mature trees at the Portland Street and St Margaret’s Road boundaries which must be considered.

Looking over the roof of Dowty House circa 1937. The scene totally dominated by the presence of St Margaret’s Coach Station, with the terraced housing to the East now demolished and the space given over to car parking.

Fig 3

The site is overlooked from all sides, and in this sense has good visual permeability, however, the open nature of the site will inevitably diminish with development. It’s Northern boundary meets with the rear of the Regency Northfield Terrace and the Southern tip of the Pittville development, Grade II listed Clarence Square. Boundary fencing is missing in places here, denoting a desire line through the site from Northfield Passage. The locally indexed Victorian Gothic style Dowty House abutts the site to the West and is currently used as a residential care home, it commands far reaching Easterly views into and across the site towards Grade II* Holy Trinity Church and the Cotswold Escarpement beyond. Grade II* listed St Margarets Terrace lies to the South of the site, with it’s imposing and somewhat austere North facing rear-facade rising some 12 m creating a strong visual and physical barrier between the site and the Town Centre to the South. The Brewery development features on the other side of St Margarets Road to the South West of the site, offering a range of facilities including a cinema, gymnasium and dining.

2.4 Circulation and access The site is currently accessible by vehicle from car park entrances on North place and Portland street. Fig 1 details the current road and footpath connections in and around the site. The red arrows denote 2 way streets with footpaths at either side. The Green arrow denotes a one way street travelling North towards the site and represents a key route from the lower high street area.

The purple arrow denotes two way traffic along Portland Street but with a contraflow in place restricting the Southerly flow of traffic to Buses and Coaches only. This restriction is lifted after crossing St Margarets Road heading towards Boots Corner, with any vehicle permitted in the Northerly direction towards Pittville.

The blue arrows in Fig 1 denote public footpaths that cross the site East-West.

These are in poor condition with a variety of fences and walling delineating their boundaries often in poor repair or missing completely.

2.0 Site Appraisal

Fig 1

Fig 2 below illustrates the most popular pedestrian routes into and through the site based on observations made during site visits. These routes must be considered and preserved where possible to ensure existing links through the site are maintained.

2.5 Vegetation Vegetation around the site is limited, with only a handful of notable trees on Portland street and St Margarets Road. Clarence Square to the North of the site has tree lined streets and the area to the front of St Margarets terrace has shrub borders and some small trees. There is also some limited planting in front ot the Brewery car park. Civic pride objectives aim to increase the amount of street trees in this area to create a green corridor between Imperial Square to the South and Pittville to the North.

2.2 Surrounding buildings The vernacular architectural style is Regency, with numerous listed and locally indexed buildings nearby, and several landmark buildings in close proximity to the site. Incorporating these buildings sympathetically, considering views, light, scale and visual appropriateness is a key challenge in creating a successful proposal for the site. The NCP car park and the Brewery development to the West of the site are out of character with their surroundings in terms of scale and architectural styling, which, given their proximity to the site and the obvious relationship that exists between them means that the area addressing St Margarets Road is also key. This area should not be ‘over built’ to ensure the site remains permeable, and visual cues such as Dowty House and Holy Trinity Church remain clearly visible from around the site to preserve legibility.

Building uses around the site are mixed, with the area to the North of the site predominantly residential. St Margarets Terrace is occupied by a mixture of flats and offices. Adjacent to St Margaret’s Terrace to the East are two more listed structures, one housing the Chapel Spa with gothic style arches mimicking those on Holy Trinity Church facing North into the site, and next door The Storyteller restaurant and wine room. The three storey terraces flanking Holy Trinity Church facing into the site from the East are also a mix of residential and businesses, further South there is a furniture retail outlet on the corner of Warwick Place. A modern four storey block of flats occupies the opposite corner adjacent to St Margarets Road.

Pleasant views of the Cotswold escarpment are visible to the North East of the site providing a dramatic backdrop to the regency facade along Portland Street. These views should be preserved where possible in line with Civic Pride aims.

Locally sourced materials will be used around the site where possible, however certain items must be selected based on their aesthetic qualities and durability. Paving in pedestrian areas will consist of natural stone pavers in a variety of sizes to tie in with the vernacular surfaces and Civic Pride objectives. ‘The cultural core streets should have 400-900mm random length high quality natural stone paving and principal Regency area streets a 600mm random length yorkstone slab’ Cheltenham Civic Pride Urban Design Framework 2010 P.13

Materials for buildings and walling around the site will be kept in keeping with the Regency surroundings. Block and render to mimic cotswold /portland stone will be used in places to keep costs down, with other buildings constructed from either natural stone, reconstituted stone to mimic this, and in places reclaimed red brick in keeping with adjoining structures.

3.0 Design

3.3 Hard materials selection

The location of the site within the conservation area dictates material choice to an extent and guidelines are in place to ensure that the development is kept in context Naturally riven Yorkstone paving, similar in colour and texture to locally sourced oolite, but readily available and budgeted for by the Civic Pride Framework.

Roads will be block paved with permeable natural stone pavers. Water will soak through aggregate joints and be collected and sent to an attenuation basin in Dowty Gardens.

Tree grilles will be used throughout the design to minimise the impact of root intrusion into paved surfaces. these will also act as effective weed suppressants. The design of these will be driven more by their durablility than historical context. The same philosophy will apply to bollards and other street furniture.

The existing car parks to the rear of St Margarets Terrace have been removed to activate the frontage of the rear of the building. The architectural styling of the rear facade of the building whilst somewhat austere, is atypical of classical Regency buildings in that it has symmetry and detailing more associated with a front elevation. Approximately 20 parking spaces were displaced by removing the car parks and these are replaced in the form of ‘on street’ parking bays as shown.

Should any more spaces be required, then permit parking within the adjacent Multi Storey car park would be an option.

3.6 Vegetation In line with Civic Pride objectives, the proposals include numerous street trees, predominantly Acer Campestre ‘Streetwise’ should be used due to it’s drought, pollution and shade tolerance and it’s relatively compact growing habit and minimal root damage. Eleagnus hedging features in several locations around the site, notably on St Margarets Mews enclosing car parking. These hedges are again very hardy and being Nitrogen fixers, they will thrive in almost any conditions so are ideally suited to streetscapes such as these.

Many of the houses and apartments have lawns to the front which should consist of a blend of Fescues and rye grass to ensure vigorous growth and drought/shade tolerance. The planting borders abutting Northfield Passage should contain hardy shrubs such as

There is a significant level change of around 600mm in the North Western corner of the site, where the boundary abutts Northfield passage and Dowty House. Currently Northfield passage is hidden behind a mixture of walling and fencing , but beyond this there is a step down. Northfield Passage is to be retained as a footpath, and a new one way access road from Monson avenue called Northfield lane will run alongside the path on it’s Southern side with further footpath to along it’s Southern edge abutting the change in level. The level change gradually tapers out to nothing by the time it reaches Bennington Street North Retaining walls with planting borders will be used to delineate this level change with steps to afford access to Dowty Gardens and the rest of the site as shown.

These planting borders further enhance the pleasant outlook afforded to the housing facing into the site adjacent to Northfield passage and effectively deal with the level change affecting this area of the development.

Tower Avenue 2 way street running through the centre of the site East -West connecting Bennington Street North with North Place and framing views of Dowty House to the West and Holy Trinity Church to the East.

North Place remains essentially unchanged, with two way traffic access. There are now three pedestrian crossing points connecting the car park, coach station, Trinity Plaza and the wider Pittville area to the North to Dowty Gardens and the Brewery complex to the West. Vehicular access to the car park is gained from here via a ramp, and the traffic exiting the car park is directed to the right, heading Northwards towards Clarence Square.

The coach station is closed to private vehicles and is strictly ‘Coaches only’.

Portland Street also remains unchanged in terms of traffic usage, however, the Southerly junction with St Margarets Road now allows coaches to turn right using a filter light system to create a circus around the island.

St Margarets Road also remains unchanged in terms of usage, with just one additional junction added, connecting Bennington Street to Bennington Street North providing vital vehicular connections to the site from the town centre to the South.

4.0 Precedent Studies

Crest Nicholson’s development of Bristol Harbourside The once dilapidated docks area of Bristol has undergone a renaissance in recent years, and Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development has been a central component in the regeneration of this area of the city.

Key principles guiding the development have been inclusion and preservation of the historic fabric of the area, and this is evident in all areas of the design. Relics of the sites industrial past are mixed with striking contemporary buildings in a rich pastiche of how the docks might have been in their heyday.

The waterfront has been transformed from the industrial heart of the city into a genteel and welcoming space providing unrestricted access to many areas of quality public realm.

Pedestrian permeability has been a focus of the project, with links into and through the area of paramount importance.

This has driven the block design evident within the architecture here and strongly connects the site with it’s surrounding context. This focus on connection of spaces translates well into the design of North Place and indeed all areas of urban design.

Lloyds Bank’s decision to build their HQ in the area in the mid 1980’s indicated to developers that the area had potential for further enhancement , and The City Council set up a consortium in 1993 to guide development of the area and it’s environs. This consortium was responsible for the enhancement of The Brunel Mile which runs from Temple Meads Station, through Queen’s Square and accross a new Bridge (Pero’s Bridge), connecting the Eastern and Western sides of the docks and providing a key link to the city centre. Millennium square with it’s bars and restaurants and the Exploratory @ Bristol provide reasons to visit the area rather than merely to pass through en route to a more desirable location. The city council made it a policy that the harbourside should lead in the regeneration of the centre, by becoming a new focus for heritage, arts and tourism.

This focus changed the whole feel of the area and opened up a new world of possiblities in terms of creating a desirable location to live and work. The area has since become an exemplar in what can be achieved through ‘Mixed use‘ development.

The docks have become a destination rather than an eyesore, with improved pedestrian links and quality public realm providing genuine reasons for people to visit the area, creating a vibrant community feel. Propery prices in the area reflect the desirable nature of the location. This regeneration and redesignation of the area can be translated to North Place.

The site currently has a sense of dilapidation surrounding it which is pervasive and has hampered development, and indeed lowered house prices surrounding the site. Provision of attractions such as the Brewery have only served to further highlight the poor condition and lack of contextual cues delivered by the space. Public spaces such as Trinity Plaza and Dowty Gardens in the area will encourage people to visit the site, rather than merely parking and walking to the Town Centre, and will also serve to raise the profile of the surrounding streets, enhancing the whole Northern gateway into the town in a similar way to The Brunel Mile, connecting Pittville to the central area of the town through a series of high quality tree lined streets and public spaces.

4.0 Precedent Studies

Crest Nicholson’s development of Bristol Harbourside Edward Cullinan Architects produced the masterplan for the 16.3 Ha site at the heart of the development, with the construction carried out by Crest Nicholson. The positioning of public space throughout the development and the location of Millenium Square with it’s restaurants and bars to the East has been considered in the design of North Place, with Trinity Plaza creating a similar meeting node in relation to the housing nearby.

Car parking within the Harbourside development is also discreet, with the car park buildings used for a number of functions. Similarly the car park at North Place with it’s mixed uses provides robustness to the design and also has active frontages addressing key public spaces at ground level.

The block design allows for high levels of pedestrian and vehicular permeability, whilst the orientation of the buildings frames landmarks creating a highly legible environment. The mixture of residential and business is effective and the area feels quite open despite the high density of the housing here, at around 150 DPH. The scheme comprises three main routes: the Brunel mile, focussed on the masts of the SS Great Britain; Cathedral Walk, where the flanking buildings frame the three towers of Bristol Cathedral; and the harbour side walk which has been redesigned to create a much more accessible public realm which is used for many different purposes ranging from walking, and boating to dining and major festivals.

The use of landmark buildings to enhance legiblity and provide pleasing vistas translates well to the proposals for North Place, as the site also has a number of key landmark buildings that have been used in a similar way as focal points in the design. The scale of the residential blocks at Bristol Harbourside has also served to illustrate that tall buildings, when designed well and with the correct orientation can provide high density housing whilst maintaining pleasant levels of amenity between. This translates well to the scale of St Margaret’s Terrace and has informed the scale and placement of buildings in Images Source: http://www.edwardcullinanarchitects. relation to it. com/projects/bhsmp.html
