IDP has over 25 years of experience in Housing for the Elderly and Specialists Care Needs Architecture. Originating in the mid 70’s with Sheltered Housing projects, encompassing Housing for the Elderly and Infirm, and culminating in Care Villages and Dementia Accommodation.

ALNWICK EXTRA CARE

IDP has been particularly busy in the last months in the preparation of bids for the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund. IDP have originally designed and developed several Bid submissions for a wide variety of Registered Social Landlords and Care Providers.

DEMENTIA CARE

IDP’s unique designs utilise advanced sustainable building techniques and benefit from a close interface with users, constructors and suppliers. They meet all current standards and performance indicators and are carefully specified and costed.

BIM EXAMPLES

Anticipating the market and having had the design time and a dedicated team of consultants to work out specific technical solutions to demanding design criteria of this sector, has enabled IDP to provide highly functional solutions which are costed and benefit from product development. RETIREMENT VILLAGE CONCEPT

The utilising BIM (Building Information Modelling) enables IDP to involve the design team in hands on product development, and ensure the delivery of client bespoke schemes with built in ‘buildability’. Most importantly however these projects benefit from extensive market research and best practice precedent. Visiting the best examples of this sector and talking to end users have enabled IDP to go to the next step of developing and finessing current best practice within the sector.

LEMINGTON - WEST DENTON STREETSCENE

IDPartnership-northern have been successful in a number of HCA Disposal Sites, and also Your Homes Newcastle (YHN) Disposal Sites in 2012, working as Barratt Midlands and Barratt North East’s Design Consultants.

BARRATT PARTNERSHIP

BIDS

This will provide circa 80+ new homes For Sale and For Rent, with works due to commence on the Planning Application in early 2013.

PLAN B

IDP formed an LLP with Elliott Associates and Housing Consultancy Plus to form “Plan B”, an innovative approach to delivering affordable/ social housing. Plan B house types are designed to minimise waste and maximise functionality, and these fully designed and costed house types come with an innovative commercial viability software, ensuring the financial viability and deliverability of the scheme. Delivering a high quality bespoke unit that is financially viable within today’s market conditions is an important step towards making high quality housing available to young people again. Plan B now have seven live projects which will deliver a total of 438 affordable units in the course of 2013. Plan B is now in partnership with RSL’s, Local Authorities and Constructors in the delivery of these innovative and attractive new housing units.

MILL HOUSE LEISURE FACILITY

MILL HOUSE This regeneration project brings together a wide range of public and private partners to create a vibrant new quarter in Hartlepool town centre. The focus for the development is a new leisure and sports centre to replace ageing existing facilities and support the Hartlepool Football Club. The new leisure facility will incorporate a swimming pool, multi-use sports hall, indoor bowls, exercise space and cafe area. In addition to this a range of housing will provide a wide mix of accommodation for all walks of life. This includes key worker housing, family housing, a dementia care centre and adult learning difficulties accommodation totalling almost 150 dwellings in total.

Situated on the outskirts of Alnwick this exciting new facility will provide 58 extra care units and a wide range of high quality shared facilities. These include a small shop, restaurant and sensory garden.

ALNWICK EXTRA CARE

The aim is to make this a ‘hub’ for care delivery in the wider area and create a local resource. Incorporating the latest in telecare technology this facility represents the next generation of housing for our aging population.

ESHER CLOSE This scheme for nine units based near Liverpool is the first scheme showcasing the new ‘Plan B’ offer. This is a highly efficient affordable housing solution that maximises efficiencies to deliver the highest quality product in a tight financial environment. It achieved planning last year and is due to start on site in April this year. The design team have worked very closely with the Client and whole supply chain to provide a refined solution that maximises the potential of, particularly infill sites. There are currently in excess of 200 units currently in planning across a wide range of Clients that demonstrate the universal appeal of this approach.

DAVENTRY

Utilising the ten Garden Village Principles advocated by the TCPA, IDP have been able to develop, alongside landscape architects Murdoch Wickham, a “sea change” in housing design; safeguarding all the existing landscape assets and working to incorporate SUDS systems within existing watercourses, the design team have been able to develop a “landscape led Masterplan” with a varied range of landscape character areas that truly enable architecture and landscape to work together, to create permeable “placemaking”.

DAVENTRY

IDP finished 2012 with a flourish with the submission of Reserved Matters submission for the first phase of the 1,000 unit urban extension at Daventry in the East Midlands. Working closely with Daventry District Council and Northampton County Council, Crest Nicholson plc have commissioned IDP to prepare the next generation of “Garden Village’ communities for this attractive rural edge development.

MONKSMOOR FARM GARDEN VILLAGE

Crest’s specially designed range of spacious yet simple house types, set within generous garden plots unified by verdant green pedestrian routes, delivers the kind of aspirational garden suburb that is the “subconscious home” of so many English people. Utilising the rich precedent of the historic garden village movement, IDP and Murdoch Wickham have been able to create aspirational and attractive green living spaces with which the public immediately identify. This unique site surrounded on three sides by significant landscape features and leisure opportunities has been enthusiastically received by the people of Daventry, and Crest are considering how this “Garden Village” approach can inform similar developments elsewhere.

A linear green park now provides the central unifying feature which joins the educational campus to the community hub and the housing beyond.

This green sustainable routeway also provides safe and attractive pedestrian and cycle routes through an area that previously was impassable, unifying areas of Darlington Town Centre which previously were â&#x20AC;&#x153;out on a limbâ&#x20AC;?.

BURDON LANE

IDP were asked by Bellway to prepare an executive housing design solution for a linear site, sitting along the southern edge of Sunderland, specifically designed to attract the executive housing market. IDP carried out a thorough exercise in providing a bespoke design solution for these executive houses, calling upon the rural nature of the site as it sits on the northern boundary of the Great North Forest and open countryside. The detailed Planning Application will be progressed during 2013.

DARLINGTON

327 number of new homes are provided within a wide range of housing types and tenures and provided within a well defined network of new communities, and neighbourhoods.

The later phases of the scheme are likely to feature a neighbourhood shops, a hotel and high quality offices.

CENTRAL PARK

In 2012 IDP joined the Central Park Design Team; Keepmoat, Yuills, Commercial Estates Group and Darlington Borough Council and were given the opportunity of updating the Central Park Masterplan and taking revised proposals through public consultation.

SNIPERLEY / AYKLEY

IDP have had a busy year working in close liaison with Local Authorities and land owners to research strategic land supply and provide development overviews for numerous strategic sites within the North, M62 Corridor and the Midlands.

people’s views are listened to, and worked into the process, rather than a series of preconceived architectural standard blocks. This more “hands on” and “consultee informed” process has progressed several major planning appraisals, and ensured that the needs, aspirations and innovative ideas IDP’s regular experience of consultation with of local people have been incorporated into the public has led them to analyse more the process. clearly the kind of plans that are effective in canvassing the public’s opinion on the suitability of sites for development. So often, architect led site appraisals fill the site in question with dense amounts of “blocky” development. These images so often alarm local residents who feel development is already a foregone conclusion - and their ideas don’t matter “a jot”. Adopting a more resident orientated approach, IDP concentrate on a “landscape led” Masterplan technique, with development areas decided by consensus, ensuring that SNIPERLEY MASSING MODEL AERIAL VIEW

IDP are assisting Metnor Property Group and Metnor Construction in the delivery of a further phase of the Portland Green Student Village Masterplan. The Turner Court comprises the first phase of 274 student bedrooms, along with a new Tesco Express Store and Retail Unit that fronts onto Stoddart Street. The building will be completed in August this year, and will be managed by South Street Asset Management, who are actively engaged in attracting new students into the development for the next academic year.

IDP are providing architectural services to Aberdeen Asset Management in the configuration of the existing Newcastle Shopping Park, with a further fit out to the former ASDA Living unit to provide two separate retail units, for new end users. The additional retail space, relocation of the PTE Social club into a new build facility, and the provision of a new Petrol Filling Station, are all going through the Planning Approval process, and work is expected to start during 2013.

ELBA PARK TRINITY SOUTH 14

The Elba Park development was officially launched on site by David Wilson Homes / Barratt North East in October 2010. Despite the recession, sales have gone well, with 53 completions and a further 58 homes reserved to date.

Barratt is proud of the development, and not without good reason, as they have been awarded the ‘Pride in the Job’ regional award for Elba Park, and were also short-listed for the Supreme National Award.

The development is being constructed on the former Lambton Coke Works site, and comprises a total of 359 dwelling units, set within a 52-hectare country park. In spite of the encouraging sales figures, BN / DWH have now changed the style of a third of the development. The original planning approval was for a contemporary style throughout, but in 2012, BN obtained planning permission to introduce a complementary – but more traditional – style to approx 100 units. BN / DWH anticipate that this ‘dual platform’ in terms of offer to the prospective purchaser will help accelerate sales figures over the coming years, and we wish them every success! Keepmoat Homes have been successful in their tender submission to South Tyneside Council for the re-development of Trinity South. The site is close to South Shields town centre, and will provide 222 new homes for the area. The scheme combines public and private housing with an emphasis on sustainability and partnership working with the local authority. IDP has just submitted the detailed planning application in January 2013, and Keepmoat are committed to a start on site in April 2013. The Trinity project is the culmination of a landscape led Masterplan evolving through the Competitive Dialogue Process. The competition has taken over a year, but the project has been refined and improved every step of the way.

Two hundred and twenty two family houses are to be delivered around a linear park which connects local people with retained shop units and community facilities on Frederick Street, and a new pedestrian parkway that will link up with the reclaimed, and landscaped riverside park. The two local GP surgeries are to be enhanced by improved parking for patients. A new gateway building at the entrance to the linear park opens up a view corridor, to the improved shopping area on Frederick Street. A public consultation exercise has attracted a very positive response from local people who welcomed the quality and spaciousness of this innovative landscape led approach.

Obtaining Planning Approval in January last year for the first phase consisting of 378 Code 4 Homes, 50 of which are affordable, marked a great start to 2012 for the Scotswood Regeneration Scheme and New Tyne West Development Company.

And finally …… Scotswood won the accolade of being hailed as one of the world’s most “Innovative Infrastructure Projects”. In the KPMG Infrastructure 100 Survey, this prestigious Award showcases the best schemes in the world.

This success continued with the Discharge of numerous pre-start Planning Conditions and additional Planning Approval for the Combined Heat and Power Energy Centre. This will provide heat and hot water and surplus power back to the grid for the 1800 new homes. The £265M scheme at Scotswood was named as one of seven in the UK to get the Remediation of the site is drawing to a close coveted title. Well done to all involved in the in early 2013, with the construction of the new regeneration project.

WYNYARD

VILLAGE EXTENSION IDP have been selected by Cameron Hall Developments to act as the lead Masterplanner for the final piece in the Wynyard Village jigsaw, which will complete the original Wynyard vision of Sir John Hall which commenced in the 1980’s. IDP will return to these core values of spacious, executive housing set within a country park context and strongly linked to the existing landscape, which includes the heritage parkland of the adjacent Wynyard Hall, the existing golf course and current village amenities. It is expected that the Outline Planning Application will be processed in the early part of 2013 with construction and delivery of the new executive housing commencing in 2015, and will continue over a fifteen to twenty year period.

WYNYARD HALL

VISITOR CENTRE

IDP were selected by Cameron Hall Developments to prepare design proposals for a new Visitor’s Centre at Wynyard Hall to assist in the considerable inward investment to be made by Cameron Hall for the continued growth of Wynyard Hall as the premier hotel, wedding and visitor experience within the North East.

The Visitor’s Centre will sit within the existing Walled Garden and offer the visitor a point of entry, a place to browse and a place to appreciate coffee and cake within a Listed garden setting.

A new management building and a wedding marquee will also be incorporated within IDP’s Masterplan for the Walled Garden The Visitor’s Centre will enable the extensive complex linked to heritage trails and leisure heritage gardens and landscaped grounds at walks between Wynyard Hall, the Visitor’s Wynyard to become more available for public Centre and the glorious heritage parkland and woodlands within the estate. access as a leisure destination.

A total of 444 homes and 12,600 sqm of employment space is proposed for the site. Barratt have said that more than 200 local jobs and training posts will be created, with the scheme expected to take about 8 years to complete.

Barratt and IDP, together with its partners, successfully won the HCA Land Disposal Bid in August in 2012. Barratt East Midlands said; “We are delighted to have been selected as the Development Partner on this important scheme. As with many of our developments, this project represents how true regeneration can provide more than just new homes, but new jobs and new opportunities to really help the community thrive and prosper”.

COTGRAVE

A £100M deal to build 444 homes on the former Cotgrave Colliery Site has been agreed. Barratt Development’s Design Team and IDP has won the contract with work expected to start midway through 2013.

Under the proposals there are plans to leave green corridors and provide sustainable infrastructure through the site leading to the Cotgrave Community Park.

COOKERY SCHOOLS

IDP are fortunate to have been instructed to provide designs for two new cookery schools within the North East. The first is for an Asian fusion operation which will form an educational and training Centre of Excellence within Pendower Hall in the West End of Newcastle. IDP have prepared a design proposal that inserts a variety of cooking and training spaces within the Listed Hall which will provide both an appropriate reuse of this existing impressive heritage asset, maintaining its building fabric and upgrading to current standards, as well as providing a fitting venue for Asian weddings and social functions, whilst providing an educational and cultural base for this multi-cultural enterprise. IDP have also been asked by Cameron Hall Developments to provide designs for a specialist cookery school, sitting within the Walled Garden at Wynyard Hall, which will provide an intimate experience for would-be Chefs under the watchful eye of the Head Chef associated with Wynyard Hall.

The new facility will be based around single storey ‘lean-to’ structures on one side of the Listed Wall and the glazed Orangery previously located on the site for the cookery building and events room. The designs have been given the thumbs-up by English Heritage and detailed Planning Applications are progressing in the first half of 2013. IDP’s leisure workload was bolstered during 2012 with the design and technical work required to assist in the Sky Chinese restaurant project on Stowell Street. The second and third floors of a 1930’s warehouse were converted from redundant office space into a high quality Chinese restaurant with banqueting and karaoke facilities. Technical issues arising from the need for high quality kitchen services and karaoke functions were handled by IDP’s technical team, gaining Conservation Area Consent and Advertisement Consent for the external signage.

PENDOWER HALL

IDP will function from premises in Central London to deliver these projects utilising proven design and delivery teams which are highly competitive when compared to “home-grown” London teams. Backed by the considerable resource of the “mother ship” in Newcastle, the existing client base can depend on the same quality of service they have come to associate with IDP, within the capital at a cost effective cost. High quality IT, communications and connectivity between the resurrected London Office and the “Mother Ship” ensure continuity of service is guaranteed.

Bruce Nichol, Head of IDP’s IT and CGI Department enters his thirtieth year in practice. Bruce joined the practice in September 1982 as a Youth Opportunities Project Scheme Member and amazed the partners with his grasp of the embryonic computer technology then available.

His interior studies have culminated in a virtual University in Florida which is used for teaching purposes by Florida State University! Bruce is still an active cyclist and his athleticism and great mental agility honed by years of crunching computer problems have fortified him for at least another quarter of a century of design excellence.

LONDON OFFICE

IDP Northern have been asked by three major clients to reopen their London Office in order to service projects within the South-East Corridor / M25.

He has continued to amaze for more than a quarter of a century. His thirtieth year in service sees him at the top of his game, having won two UK awards for ArchiCAD user of the year and two International awards for 3D work in the Graphisoft Design Showcase.

STAFF

Bruce provides sophisticated CGI images for clients throughout the UK and Europe and has also developed IDP’s BIM capacity on a year on year basis. Developing visual techniques for Masterplanning processes has also greatly assisted IDP’s Urban Design and Masterplanning team to achieve National status.
