LANDSCAPE-LED APPROACH

LANDSCAPE-LED MASTERPLAN PRINCIPLES

1) CONNECT TO THE WIDER LANDSCAPE

A considered approach to land, topography, and ecology, embedding the masterplan within the wider landscape, through... A) working with topography B) connecting to green infrastructure C) establishing wider green connections

2) REDUCE CARS, PRIORITISE PEOPLE

Minimise the need for traditional carriageways, and develop creative solutions to manage vehicle

• access. Consider streetscapes as useable spaces for people by...

A) reducing carriageways wherever possible B) restricting vehicle access + prioritising pedestrians C) creating functional (ecology, suds), activated (playable, furnished) streetscapes

3) A PLACE FOR PEOPLE

Allow the way people live their lives daytoday to dictate spaces, use and layouts, by creating... A) a modern village with spaces for people to relax, recreate, gather and socialise B) platforms to accommodate a variety of uses throughout the day & year C) a landscape to suit the diversity of communities; for all ages & abilities D) spaces to reflect the memory of what was once on the site and celebrates the sites future

4) ECOLOGY TO DEFINE SPATIAL TYPES

Identify key strategies for incorporating natural systems within the masterplan, and ensure that these work with (as well as for) the people who live there, including... A) integrated biodiversity to frame masterplan structure B) productive gardens C) suds D) a connection to nature LANDSCAPE-LED APPROACH

EXISTING TREES

The primary objective is to identify and retain trees where they provide the most benefit. The adjacent survey identifies and categorises all existing trees within in site and its immediate environs. Existing trees are important to retain for: > Scale > Providing instant site maturity and impact > Preserving a diversity of species and age compositions of trees across the site > Strengthening green infrastructure networks > Connect the past and future together through memory in landscape The total quantity of trees noted below includes all within and beyond the site boundary that will need to be taken into consideration in development of the masterplan.
