All paving and sub-bases must remain permeable. As such the granular sub-base and grit sand layers should not contain fines, which reduce permeability Permeable concrete should be made with limited fine aggregate content and a narrow gradation of coarse aggregate. A/C ratio should be 4-4.5. Water to cement ration should be 0.27-0.30.

Extend Matlock in a way that combines ecological ideals with restorative principles to ensure the health of the environment and the people within it

Peak District National Park

Matlock

Wirksworth

Alfreton

Ripley

Bus Routes Train Routes Main Roads Secondary Roads

Background Matlock is situated on the edge, but outside, of the Peak District National Park. It sits on the River Derwent and grew out of a collection of small villages. When the thermal springs were discovered in 1698, the town grew and became famous for its hydrotherapy treatments. The hydros declined with the introduction of the NHS, but the buildings have been reused to house the county council and for new apartments. There is considerable pressure on Matlock to expand as it is not restricted as much as towns in the Peak Park and it has good facilities and links.

Character Existing Green Space

Neighbourhood scale: Dominated by the old hydro buildings

Hall Leys Park: An amenity for all residents and visitors

Street Scale: Cafe on the street in Old Matlock A615 entrance from Tansley and Alfreton

Aims Firstly, to connect the new development to the surrounding area - both to the town and to the countryside. Secondly, to increase the attractiveness of the public realm and within this, ensure that the new development fits into the local area and is ecologically sound, with green infrastructure at its heart.

Constraints and Issues

Thirdly, to increase the opportunities for people to work, live and relax in Matlock, using restorative principles to provide places where people can feel refreshed.

Wetland In the flood plain it is proposed that a managed wetland is introduced to further help with flood alleviation and biodiversity and provide an interesting and varied place to explore. The area will be a mixture of wet meadow, wet woodland and a series of pools and ponds of differing depths and permancies. Board walks and platforms provide access through the wetland and to the river, where people can get closer to the water and hire boats to paddle down the river.

Woodland The SSSI’s at Matlock Woods and Masson Hill to the south of the site contain the largest collection of two native lime trees in the area. It is proposed that the species from these woods are extended up into the site to create: extended woodland habitat; improved Biodiversity; reduction in flooding problems; areas for recreation and play; and areas for coppicing wood to create wood pellets for fuel.

Market Square

Linear Parks and Detention Pond Differing scales of experiece Hall Dale quarry has very dramatic terracing and fantastic views into the Peak District. The scale and intimacy of the open spaces will vary within the village, from large scale public areas of woodland and wetland that will encourage visitors, to communal spaces that will help with surveillance and neighbourliness, to private gardens where people can do their own thing. Market Square will be the busiest and noisiest place and the communal courtyards and private gardens will be quieter and more tranquil. The linear parks will be located on the terrace edges and partially shield the new buildings and provide a sense of enclosure. They also provide access to the stunning views to the North West and to the climbing cliff faces.

Genius loci The inspiration for the layout of the village came from the local farm courtyard shapes and from the rock formation of the limestone. From this the ‘distorted grid’ pattern emerged.

Hydrology Deep gulleys cut into the soil due to water run-off. A SUDS system has been included to cope with this. Swales take the water from built areas and transport it to the detention ponds. From here the water will be released into the ground after filtering through the vegetation. Underground drains have been kept to a minimum. An open channel on the main road keeps the water processes visible.

Sustainable Drainage System Swale Run-off Channel Drain

Woodland Management The Government’s Strategy for England’s Trees, Woods and Forests, launched in 2007, highlights the contribution that trees make to social, environmental and economic objectives and sets out a vision for their future role. The goal is that by 2020 more woods will be brought into sustainable woodland management supplying raw materials for use in construction and for woodfuel, and we will have a healthier landscape for wildlife and an increase in people visiting woodlands. The emphasis at Matlock Spa is on a more varied harvest of timber, forest products and crafts, with greater employment opportunities. Monitoring and maintaining wildlife and biodiversity are important, along with providing places to play and explore.

Code for Sustainable Homes - ‘Excellent’ Standard Carbon Neutral: the homes and offices use electricity generated from the photovoltaic cells and use the coppiced wood (in the form of pellets) for heating and hot water. High insulation and triple glazing keep heating requirements to a minimum. The buildings are arranged to make the most of passive solar gain with large windows SE and SW and small windows on the other sides. All plots have direct access to their own gardens where they can grow vegetables. Communal and public areas provide places for allotments and orchards. Water: the homes are installed with low-flush toilets and the latest water saving taps, showers and baths. Materials: locally sourced stone has been used for the houses and the left over limestone from the quarry has been used for the dry-stone walls, the sitting rocks and sculptures found at the entrances. Flexible and Varied Buildings The infrastructure such as roads, courtyards, services and waste facilities will be built by the local council. Then the ‘infill’ of the buildings will be individually designed in collaboration with the community. Plots should be sold off separately or in small blocks in an attempt to keep buildings interesting and varied. The buidlings should be flexible in design, so that in the future they can easily be adapted to different uses depending upon demand. People are encouraged to use this flexibility to adapt and change their own spaces; making them form an attachment to the place and making it feel like home.

Planning D esign cology C E onstruction

Water-Runoff: permeable paving is employed where hard surfaces are necessary. All run-off from the homes is used to flush the toilets and in the washing machines- and extra water is directed to the water butts, swales and detention ponds where the water is filtered and released into the ground. Waste: Recycling facilities are avaible on site.

Mixed Use Village Matlock Spa will be a mixture of residences, offices, shops and recreational opportunities

June is a future resident of Matlock Spa. She enjoys walking into the woodland surroundings which vary with time and the seasons. The lime trees draw her eye down the street and the differing building facades provide interest. As she nears the end of the road she can start to hear the sounds of the busy market square. The trees change from lime to cherry which look very dramatic in the spring. She enjoys sitting under a tree in market square to people watch and drink a coffee. She then proceeds through the arch in the community building and through to her residential street. Her courtyard is arranged so that she and her neighbours can grow vegetables and share the produce among themselves.

Feelings on the journey: Slightly nervous, and bewildered by all the signs on the main street. Depressed by the dull flats, they really jar with their surroundings. The open lawn feels like wasted space and the trees feel like they have just been thrown down. The street feels really wide and disconnected from the flats. The large empty walls are bland and dull. None of the flats open up into the courtyard; the residents probably feel a bit separated from this space. It would be nice to use this space to grow fruit and vegetables.

Wish

Wishes for the journey Increased restorative opportunities Better aesthetics and integration with the surrounding area Increased opportunities for social interaction More routes available to reach his destination(permeability) Differentiation between courtyards (legibility)

Brief: Pocket Parks Create opportunities for people to meet and socialise. Draw people in by making them feel welcome and intrigued. Improve opportunities for using and enjoying the outside space. Improve facilities/amenities available to the residents.

Brief: Communal Edible Courtyards Create opportunities for adoption and adaptation of the space. Define areas of private and communal space for the residents. Encourage community spirit, pride of place and sense of ownership. Give each courtyard a distinctive identity. Improve opportunities for using and enjoying the outside space. Create spaces available for cultivation.

Planning D esign cology C E onstruction

Brief: Architecture: Create a strong sense of place and a neighbourhood of which the residents can be proud. Use the local character, scale and proportions to integrate the flats into their surroundings. Create a more interesting and varied frontage to the flats. Provide access to the courtyards from the individual flats where possible. Make sure each resident has a garden space or a balcony. Eliminate the stress that is caused by the stairwell and bridge.

Section AA’. Scale 1:50

Vision: The design for the site is based around the swimming pool at the centre of the park. The conventional shape of the pool is designed to make the visitor feel comfortable with the natural swimming pool concept and excited due the Olympic size of the pool. The area around the pool and cafe is formal and designed using straight lines and rectangles with curved corners. This area is surrounded by a curving amphitheatre used to view events in the pool area. The main entrance to the swimming area is designed to impress and provide interest for all the senses. The planting is designed to provide year-round colour, sweet smells, different textures from leaves and barks and interesting sounds from the rustling leaves. The clipped hedges provide evidence that the area is maintained and directs the visitor through the main entrance and not through the planting. The entrance area is higher maintenance than the rest of the site in order to encourage the visitor to step into the space and make use of the pool. The steep slopes of the site are covered with woodland that will managed but left with a natural feel. The clipped hedges surrounding the entrance to the pool area will continue, rhythmically, through into the woodland. This will create some clipped boxes within the woodland to show that the area is managed and cared for and create some curiosity in the visitor. Other enhancements of the woodland will be to add colour with spring bulbs and shrubs and to provide interesting walks through the trees. Areas of more natural woodland have been brought into the entrance area to create, to give a feeling of the woodland leaking into the area.

 Integration of Rainwater Management with the Visitors Centre Water is filtered by the green roof and runoff fills the moat. If the moat reaches its limits, the water is diverted to the storm water planter, which in turn runs the water into a swale and finally a rain garden. Water runoff is reduced by evaporation, transpiration and infiltration of the ground as shown by the arrows in the section below.

Rocky Creek Playground Although the whole site provides opportunities for play, the large rocks in particular, will be an enticing playground for children. They can also learn about rivers and the way they carve through the earth and about sustainable development and rain water management. The pebble beach made from reclaimed stone on site will provide a brown-field environment for wind blown plants. Interesting species should be encouraged to develop.

Aquablock main paving should be set 6mm above fixed edges to allow for settlement. The blocks should be vibrated with a vibrating plate Type DVP75/22" or similar. Following the first pass with a vibrating plate, 2-4mm clean quartzite or gritstone should be applied to the surface and brushed in. Blocks are to be vibrated again and any debris brushed off. Keystone universal capping stones are 300mm deep. Keystone 133Elite blocks are 288mm deep. For aesthetics, the resulting overlap should be on the visible side of the wall and away from planters, where possible.

SUDS: The site has been designed for full infiltration through permeable paving and granular base. Design changes could occur subject to the geotechnical engineers final report. All paving and sub-bases must remain permeable. As such the granular sub-base and grit sand layers should not contain fines, which reduce permeability Permeable concrete should be made with limited fine aggregate content and a narrow gradation of coarse aggregate. A/C ratio should be 4-4.5. Water to cement ration should be 0.27-0.30.
