MERSEYSIDE MIXED INDUSTRY & NATURE (Special Project)
Tutor: John Hartley, Nicola Dempsey Individual Work Location: Warrington, UK Area: 3351 hectares
INTRODUCTION The site is located between Widnes and Warrington, and mainly made up with natural sites, industries and River Mersey. It is the birth place of British Chemical Industry with some important natural reserves. Via planty of assessments, the main problems were pointed out, thus the following plannings and designs could be more focused.

ECO QUALITY ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT FACTORS -- Air pollution (sulphur oxides/ particulates/ nitrogen oxides/ dioxins/ carbon dioxins)/ Industrial pollution (pollution incidents/ industrial pollution)/ Nitrate vulnerable CONCLUSION -- the worst eco quality site locates on the industrial sites; some places were for industry having some impact until now; the best parts are almost along Mersey, as well as some large farmland. ECO RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT
VEGETATION PLAN site boundary A-road vehicle road cycling--existing cycling--planned footpath--existing footpath--planned water taxi sightseeing railway car parking--existing car parking--enhanced car parking--planned railway station bus/coach stop port sightseeing railway station
The existing circulation system is poor accessible to Merseyside. Considering about vehicle/ cycling/ footpath/ water tour/ sightseeing railway and floody circulation, the planning aims at making it more welcoming.
TOURISM DESTINATION PLAN
ASSESSMENT FACTORS -- Habitat/ Eco quality CONCLUSION -- some trading and industry centre with little trees and green spaces gets the worst value; while, obviously, nature reserves and wetlands and woodlands have high eco resilience, which could stand some interrupt.
ASSESSMENT FACTORS -- Vegetation/ Water/ Culture/ Ecology CONCLUSION -- most trading centre and industrial areas got extremely poor landscape value; the best areas are almost along Mersey with some reserves, parkland and significant industrial area.
The vegetation plan aims at improving the greenspace network and eco resilience, varying the experimental feeling of spaces, dealing with floody issue with wetlands, enhancing eco value, purifying air pollution and following the existing green pattern principals.

User groups are divided as family/ lover/ school guys/ young groups/ old groups/ individuals/ the disabled. Every user group has different ways of recreation. The start points/ transport methods/ recreational activities and preferred scenery are not the same. With different groups, the suitable infrastructure develops.

FLOOD DEFENCE the wetlands and landform protect the chemical industry and bank quay trading centre from flood disaster which they always have base on the records. With the defences, they could work as normal in floody seasons, and fewer impact would be brought by flood.
PAY FOR THE POLLUTION this area suffered bad industrial pollutions and air pollutions which were mainly created by the chemical industry. So it should pay for what itself do. Meanwhile, the purification system could help it pass the inspection from EA (Environment Agency) or some other organisations.
HEALTHIER WORKING ATMOSPHERE the poor quality of air, water and soil would be extremely harmful for people who work their everyday. The purification is vital for their health.
MORE WELL-KNOWN The factories and trading centres produce some goods to customers. The more famous they are, the better economic effect they will get.

RURAL LANDSCAPE PLANNING AND WIND ENERGY
Tutor: Carys Swanwick, Nicola Dempsey, Olaf Schroth Group Work in 4 Location: Sheffield, UK Area: 10400 hectares INTRODUCTION With an ever increasing awareness of climate change, more focus has been invested in how to best combat its potential impacts. As a result, wind energy has taken precedence in the current environmental and political agenda with the Sheffield Development Framework committing the City Council to delivering 12MW of wind energy by 2013 and 60MW by 2021. In light of such events, it was decided that 10MW would be incorporated within Sheffield’s western border to meet such targets, as can be seen on the map to the left. The specific site lies between the north-west of Shefield and the south of Stockbridge with part of the site located within the designated boundaries of the Peak District National Park. The area is one of diversity which present a number of issues when choosing the location for potential windfarm development, all of which will be explored.

There are numerous reasons why a windfarm development would be justifiable within the high farmland area. Not only is nondescript and lacking in any definitive character, it also of poor quality with debilitating dry stone walls and a general lack of care. The existing skyline is also cluttered, with numerous aerial masts and three large power plants in the distance. Combine this with low numbers of visual receptors and minimal recreational value, and a wind farm development can quite easily be justified. However, the area is not unified, with some places offering more character value than others; it would need further investigation to garner the most effective location for potential development.

HONGQIAO DISTRIC URBAN PLANNING
Tutor: Weizhen Chen Group Work in 2 Location: Shanghai, China Area: 284 hectares (planning), 6 hectares (design)
INTRODUCTION It is a Plannning and Design Project, and two stages are included. For the planning stage, the analysis is very logical with softwares of ecotect and phoenics about sunshine, uid dynamic and distance assessments. As for the second stage, low impact development of water circulation is the chief theme. The international reainwater treatment from the States is applied to the certain site.
ECOLOGICAL RURAL PLANNING According to the planning processes displayed on the right handside, for Hongqiao District, it is better to form a multi-centres and multi-corridors planning strategy to meet the aims and objectives, ecology and sustainability.

LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT OF WATER CIRCULATION
MASTER PLAN FOR DETAILED DESIGN
Low-impact development relies on site planning tools and sitelevel management techniques to maintain the predevelopment time of concentration. It requires : Reduce/minimize imperviousness to reduce runoff. Narrower driveways and roads. Disconnect unavoidable impervious surfaces.Maximizing tree preservation or forestation. Maintain time of concentration (Tc). Open drainage swales.

ECOLOGICAL DESIGN & MANAGEMENT
Tutor: Nigel Dunnett Individual Work Location: Tinsley, Sheffield, England, UK Area: 12.5 hectares
INTRODUCTION The ecological design and management paid most attention to habitat and water management. There are chief eight habitats, which are dry woodland, carr, dry meadow, wet meadow, marginal, emergent, marsh and open water. They all have relatively different sceneries and functions. In storm season and dry season, the apparence in carr, wet meadow, marginal, emergent and marsh will be absolutely big different, while that in dry woodland and dry meadow will not change too much. The most significant difference would be in marsh.
Masterplan N
dry woodland carr scrub dry meadow marginal wet meadow emergent floating open water path bridge (or path over water) entrance
Habitat and Land Use dry woodland carr dry meadow wet meadow marginal emergent marsh open water
DRY WOODLAND Tall upright deciduous trees with small canopy. The colour of leaves is light green. When sunny day comes, light beams would get through gaps of the leaves like an attracting drawing. The underneath layer is some groundcover perennial plants with purple-blue flowers like ocean. Every morning in wet seasons, sunshine will cross the leaf gaps and get into fogs. Wandering in the wooland at that time would be enjoyable with fatastic scenery! CARR Tall upright trees with some moss on the bottom of the trunks. When it meets dry seasons, plenty of sigle and multi-stems trees with light green moss appear. While when flood comes, it would be covered by shallow water. The whole woodland would be like growing from water. And water also got a different reflection appearance from bare ground or meadow, it would act as a big mirror holding the inverted refletion of the carr with some scattered sunlinght shining and sparkling there. DRY MEADOW This habitat will change with season. In spring, it gets the colour of light green, which is a symbol of sprouting. Some quietly elegant colour of flower blooms, such as white and pink. In summer, the major colour turns to be bright, while stems and leaves change to dark bright green. When autumn comes, some transform into gold yellow. But soon turn into bright brown in winter. WET MEADOW A wet meadow is a semi-wetland meadow which is saturated with water throughout much of the year. The colour there is absolutely more various and abundent than dry meadow and it is much closer to water. During periods of high rainfall, wet meadows collect runoff, reducing the likelihood of seasonal flooding to downstream low-lying areas. In the process of collecting and storing runoff, the vegetation of wet meadows removes the excess nutrients accumulated by the water, acting as a natural filter. This nutrient rich environment provides vital food and habitat for many insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

MARGINAL
MARGINAL These grow in the shallow margins around the edge of the pond. It is helpful if a shelf is incorporated in the pond design to support them. Marginal plants can be decorative, provide shelter from the wind, and offer a bit of shade. It can be conveniently subdivided into fringe wetlands and flood wetlands. It is a very important category of flood wetland, which is, for most of the time, hydrologically separated from the parent water body, becoming connected only during high water.
CARR
EMERGENT The Emergent Wetland Class is characterized by erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes, excluding mosses and lichens. This vegetation is present for most of the growing season in most years. These wetlands are usually dominated by perennial plants.
MARSH A marsh should be a permanently or periodically inundated site. The selected areas in the site are all near to regular water body and would be covered by flood in storm season.
EMERGENT
OPEN WATER Open water wertland is ofren deeper, normally perennial pools within wetlands and shallow portions of lakes and rivers. Typically home to submerged macrophytes. MARSH
OPEN WATER
THEMED DESIGNS
SECTIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
Dry Season
In dry season, the yield of water would reduce dramaticly. The water design for regular season is trying the best to form a consecutive system of water.
Regular Season
When storm comes, water level would rise greatly. So, in order to keep some accessable routes at that time, the main route is designed on a reletively higher ground level. For some area, while landform is unable to solve the problem. Drainage is also a chief problem. There are two exits for water to drain off from the site.

CLASSICAL CHINESE GARDEN DESIGN
Tutor: Yuhui Zhu Individual Work Location: Suzhou, China Area: 600 square meters
INTRODUCTION Within the small site, abundant spaces were made following the Chinese Fengshui Principals. The elements and locations should be both good for space arrangements and Classical Fengshui. The theme is based on a poem from Qingzhao Li, and the whole garden tried the best to form the atmosphere with her favorite factors, and even the description to her daily life.

INTRODUCTION
some heathland patches are added in between the existing ones to make this habitat more strong.
Bolehill Recreation Playground is a district level site providing a good range of outdoor recreational facilities. The site is on two ‘levels’. The top of the site (to the east) is mostly formal parkland, and the lower part of the site (western edge), including slopes is naturalistic, with a range of habitat areas. The maintenance plan has been established to ensure its function for several kinds of activities is protected. It is one of the lowland or intermediate heathland in Sheffield. The main species of this heathland is Calluna Vulgaris and Ulex Europaeus. There are also some species like Chamerion Angustifolium, Crataegys Monogyna, Achillea Millefolium, Geum Urbanum, Ilex Aquifolium, Daucus Carota and Acer Campestre. The species in this site is very affluent and some Wildlife Watch Group regard it as a good resource here. The main invasive weed in situ is Japanese Knotweed. This site achieved a good Sheffield Standard pass mark in its 2011 assessment.
KEY MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENCE ISSUES 1. Not very welcoming entrances would be ignored by some people. 2. Some human activities do harm to vegetation or cause fragment of the habitat. 3. Overgrowing for some space which would be annoying and bring some problems about nutrients, water and sunshine. 4. Expensive for maintenance in some places. 5. High invasion by Japanese Knotweed. VISION To conserve and encourage the recreational, landscape, spiritual and environmental value of Bole Hill Recreation Playground, whilst promoting its sustainable use, understanding and enjoyment by the local and wider community. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Aim 1: Creating a welcoming place Aim 2: Good heather living habitat
Sports Turf
Fine Turf
Aim 5: Ensure that the area is clean and wellmaintained site Aim 6: To market the site appropriately to increase awareness and usage Aim 7: Maximise community involvement and participation in site management
Some benches could be added at the edge.
Maintenance Plan
Gang mowing machinery for 15 to 25 times per year at 1.3 to 5 cm. Grass kept to maximum height of 25 mm. Renovate sports pitch annually. Set out and mark football pitch in September.
Key Recommendation Organize the people who use the bowling pitch to be one of friends groups of the bolehill recreation playground. And they could both play the game and know the site more. Maintenance Plan
General Lawn
Rough Grass
Heathland and Grassland
Strimming annually.
Key Recommendation Control weeds in time. Do not burn the debris. Add some shrubs or scrubs between the football pitch and the residential area to keep the activity safer. Maintenance Plan
Cut back 1-4 times a year. Weed control: Chemical method: Use herbicide such as Glyphosate in late summer or autumn. Physical method: Cut it at the base of the stem four times a year. In spring and last summer. The first cut should be carried out when the first shoots appear and the last cut should be done when the plant before it dies back in the autumn (September or October). Cut stems should be thoroughly dried before they are burnt or taken to landfill.
Key Recommendation Some typical heathland species such as bilberry could be included in an effort to raise public interest and awareness of key species and habitats. Joining patches together wherever possible for heathland fragments. A range of grass habitats should be ensured from long, tussocky vegetation to very short turf in dry conditions. Scrub species should be offered at the edge, as it is an important component to support invertebrates on heathlands and provides shelter and structural diversity. Selective clearance of dead wood should be retained, in particular birch, and continuity of this resource ensured. Produce interpretation boards for assembled heathland area. Maintenance Plan
Heathland and Grassland
Gang mowing 10 to 15 times every year at almost 5 cm. (some places with strimmer) The herbaceous there could be cut back 1-4 times a year.
Remove invasive species, such as rhododendron, whenever find it. Retain selective clearance of dead wood and pile them up at the edge. Weed control: Physical method: Cut it at the base of the stem four times a year. In spring and last summer. The first cut should be carried out when the first shoots appear and the last cut should be done when the plant before it dies back in the autumn (September or October). Cut stems should be thoroughly dried before they are burnt or taken to landfill. (Chemical method: Use herbicide such as Glyphosate in late summer or autumn.)
Key Recommendation Keep it tidy and well-maintained. Cut back more for the shrubs. Show it with colourful and changing appearance. Maintenance Plan
Weeding, staking, dead heading and pruning, lifting and dividing the plants. Cut back some shrubs. Some groundcover layer could be added.
Plants on Slopes
Key Recommendation Add some tall herbaceous plants or scrub here and there to change the boring skyline.
Hedge
Key Recommendation Cutting with spraying growth regulant rather than just cutting could save time.
Maintenance Plan
Maintenance Plan
Shrub
Cut with Tarpen for almost 4 times a year. (Or cut hedge with Tarpen and spray with growth regulant once a year.) Handweed when see it.
Prune in summer. Remove dead plants and handweed once a year. Weed control: use herbicide such as Glyphosate in late summer or autumn. Prune in summer. Remove dead plants and handweed once a year. Weed control: use herbicide such as Glyphosate in late summer or autumn.
Key Recommendation Thinning to get sunshine. Add some groundcover layer to some areas with colourful leaves or flowers. Selective clearance of dead wood should be retained, in particular birch, and continuity of this resource ensured. Maintenance Plan
Dense Woodland
Manual methods, such as strimmer, sickle, hook, could be used here. Scrubs there should be pruned when necessary.
Key Recommendation Get rid of dead organs or debris. Pay attention to the edge and keep it safe for users, especially young bicycle riders. Maintenance Plan
Open Woodland
Some herbaceous plants or heathers could be added horizontally strenching to act as obstacles for people to move through, and make it more attractive and affluent as well.
Key Recommendation Add some more wind tolerant plants. Keep the plants much taller. Decrease the weeds with herbicide. Maintenance Plan
Grass/ Herbaceous Plants
Cylinder or gang mowing for 20 to 40 times per year at about 1 cm. (Mow bowling green 3 times per week from April to October.) Clear bowling green edge monthly from April to October. Remove leaves and litter, drag brush green and water fine turf when necessary. Fertilizing 1 to 6 times a year. Maintain channels litter and weed free twice a month from April to October. Supply and oversow green annually in October.
Key Recommendation For the destroyed place, some small foot path could be built. Or adding several herbaceous plants to form an obstacle for people to move through. Maintenance Plan
Aim 3: To conserve natural character and biodiversity Aim 4: Ensure a healthy, safe and secure site for recreation
Key Recommendation
The ground cover layer could be changed to some flowering plants, like blue bells. Or a mixture with different kind of plants, and give seasonal changing scenery. Weed control: by portable brush cutter every one or two years. Most pruning and the application of residual herbicide are best done in the November to February period. Once every 5 years at least for inspection for amenity trees.
Key Recommendation Thinning the canopy in order to get some sunshine. Cutting back shrubs to keep it tidy, which ensure the visualization and safety. Keep or add some climbers to the trees to be of vigour. Maintenance Plan
Cut back shrubs underneath sometimes a year. Weed control: by portable brush cutter every one or two years. Most pruning and the application of residual herbicide are best done in the November to February period. Grasses at the edge of public foot path should be cut back in time. Once every 5 years at least for inspection for amenity trees. Cut some trees on stump when necessary.
