Riverside Renewal

Aim - Human & Nature wellbeing development along River Aire with respect to Climate Resilience solutions.

Objectives

1. Connect the separated city to the natural riparian landscape to strengthen the community and cultural identity of the city.

2. Identify best approach to flood control (different solutions to water treatment solutions)

3. Preserve the remaining patch of riparian habitat while providing the recreational spaces and floodplain areas.

4. Green space management (including enhancing/ conserving urban biodiversity)

5. Increase accessibility to green open spaces.

6. Increase amount of green open spaces for residents & commercial zones

7. A well-connected place – addressing the barriers to connectivity for walking and cycling across the river Aire.

8. A sense of place for all age groups which can be accessible through out the year.

Keighley’s Aire Corridor Vision Primarily

“ Rivers and their surrounding areas are designed to be versatile and multi-functional spaces that offer a range of activities and experiences for both residents and visitors. By creating a dynamic environment, these areas provide an enhanced quality of life, with opportunities for work, play, and social interaction ”

As I begin to sketch out the potential areas for development in Keighley, I am taking into account a number of factors. Firstly, I am deeply considering how these areas will interact with the surrounding residential and commercial zones, ensuring that the development is seamlessly integrated into the existing landscape. Additionally, I am taking into account the needs and preferences of both locals and visitors to Keighley, ensuring that the development caters to the needs of all those who will use and enjoy the area. Finally, I am considering the long-term sustainability of the development, ensuring that it will remain a valuable and vibrant part of the Keighley community for years to come.

• Urban runoff flows into the street

• No accessibility

• No connection of river and people

2. Proposed River

• Widen the channel

• Expand floodplain to reduce bed and bank erosion

• Increase flood capacity

• Multi-functinal infrastructure

• Water quality & Habitat quality

• Accessibility for people

• Entertainment and recreation

3. Regerative

Recovering the river corridor for providing an outline and structure for the infrastructure of green space.

Reconnecting the city and people to the river, give access to new green natural water edges and around it.

Regenrating the redeveloping the riverfront to bring new life and investment into existing settlements.

Water Flow & Quality

• Water improvement system for improving water quality.

• Using the wetlands to slow the water down and allow sediments and associated pollutants to setlle out.

• Integrating Seabins at every wide channel area to collect pollutants from rivers.

• Creating dynamic and interesting water flow of water for quality and habitat.

Using gabion walls, riprap, to protect the riverbanks.

Riverbank protection

During wet season half of the flood comes from the urban runoff, half off the flood comes from upstream. Widened the channel for expanding floodplain and increasing flood capacity for flood control.

Rewidling Butterly - Marsden

The aim is to create a visitor hub center and manage the woodland near Butterly River. The goal is to improve the Butterly River and turn the site into a destination for nature tourism in Marsden. This can be achieved by designing the woodland in a way that connects it seamlessly with the visitor center hub, allowing visitors to enjoy a smooth transition from one place to another, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment : Key Findings

The Concept LVIA Report of the Marsden Mill development Site & Location : Marsden, Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England

LVIA stands for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment. Its primary purpose is to evaluate and describe how a proposed development or project might change the landscape and visual characteristics of an area. In simple terms, an LVIA report helps to understand and assess how a new building, infrastructure, or any development could affect what we see in a particular place (visual impact) and how it might change the overall look or feel of that area

The plans, for Marsden Mills proposed development are focused on rejuvenating the town center and breathing life into this significant building. The aim is to create an enhanced structure that will serve as a point, for businesses and residents. The proposal aims for partially changing the existing structure while preserving the mills facade, which holds great significance in the town's heritage.

Significant & Non-Significant View

This map shows the significant and non-significant viewpoints. Red icons are the significant ones, and the green ones are the non-significant ones. The views from the Marsden mechanics, Brougham road and from the Butterly reservoir are the significant ones and rest are the non-significant ones.
