Background to the LPR Masterplan
Lewes Phoenix Rising Ltd is a non-profit-distributing community development company. It was established in March 2014 by local Lewes people in response to the third public consultation of the Santon development plan for the ‘North Street Quarter’, known to us as the Phoenix Estate.
The Santon/LDC proposal
Forty percent of the Phoenix Estate is owned by Lewes District Council (the land to the west of North Street). The remainder, including Phoenix Place, is owned by Santon, apart from the privately-owned Waterside Centre and Gosnells Soap Factory.
The Santon/Lewes District Council plan is to demolish the entire estate (14.5 acres of land and buildings) and erect a flood wall, for the purpose of building approximately 400 houses (32% of which would be available at 80% of market rate according to the last information from Santon). There would be substantially increased car parking, a health centre and a small centre for retail, offices and workshops. No further detail has been seen since March, although we are led to believe that some changes have been made to these proposals.
Concerns about the proposal
Considerable public concern was raised at that time regarding:
- the lack of genuinely affordable housing (80% of Lewes market rate is not affordable);
- the inadequate provision of affordable or suitable workspace for the businesses and enterprises currently on the site and the consequent loss of a vibrant and unique manufacturing, creative and social enterprise community;- the ethics of bulldozing the entire site and the loss of the historic buildings comprising the old Phoenix Ironworks;- the questionable economic, social and environmental sustainability of the proposed development;- a lack of understanding of the historical context of the site within Lewes and the community’s aspirations for how it should be developed.
An alternative plan
In May 2014 Lewes Phoenix Rising (LPR) presented its outline plan for a community development of Phoenix Place (the renovation of 3.5 acres of the old Phoenix Ironworks), to provide substantially more work space and considerably more affordable homes, within the context of the wider development (the Phoenix Estate).
In July 2014, LDC and Santon, as co-owners of the site, asked LPR to produce a fully developed Masterplan showing how it could deliver its proposals while remaining consistent with the emerging Joint Core Strategy Policy SP3. LPR have also ensured its plans are consistent with saved policies E1 (Planning for Employment), H3 (Building of Local, Visual or Historic Interest) and H5 (Development Within or Affecting Conservation Area).

The Lewes Phoenix Rising Masterplan
The LPR Masterplan provides more housing than that required by the SP3 Local Plan (390 houses) for the Phoenix Estate site, with additional affordable homes and substantial space for workshops and community enterprises.
- On the Phoenix Estate (11.5 acres):413 homes; a substantial number of parking spaces; a health centre and multi-purpose groundfloor space throughout.
- On Phoenix Place (3.5 acres): 47 additional work-live homes, 1/2 bed apartments and 6,800+ m2 for workshops and community enterprises.
Procuring the land:
LPR proposes the acquisition of the 3.5 acres of Phoenix Place for a community-led, not-for-profit development. This will be for the provision of affordable rented work space and housing, to be held as an asset for the community in perpetuity.
Important considerations:
1. Lewes Phoenix Rising has repeatedly requested further clarification from Santon and Lewes District Council on their site-wide development plans, in order to dove-tail our proposals with theirs. However, nothing has been forthcoming. Consequently this Masterplan addresses the entire Phoenix Estate site, not just Phoenix Place.
2. We have had to make certain assumptions regarding infrastructure and services to create a development that works site–wide and within the wider context of the town.
3. LPR believe that development on a flood plain should be built to flood. We have therefore followed the principle of flood resilient design. There is no residential space at ground level in our proposals. The Pells Flood Cell, as an existing development, would be defended as required by existing policy.
Our proposal – a new joint venture
We recommend that Lewes Phoenix Rising, Lewes District Council and Santon form a Joint Venture to deliver a robust planning application for the re-development of the Phoenix Estate.
LPR believe that by working together, an opportunity exists to build a truly innovative flagship development. This will showcase how a community and developer can work together delivering both fair profit for the landowners (LDC/Santon) and genuine community benefit for the town. Together we can create a benchmark for economic, social and environmental sustainability, of which both Lewes and the South Downs National Park can be proud.

The Phoenix Estate:employment & community at the heart of our town
The Phoenix Estate is home to a creative community of businesses, educational, arts and social enterprises plus light industry, manufacturing, workshops and cultural venues. As a recent visitor from the Arts Council said “there is nothing quite like this in Britain”.
Many of these businesses depend on low rents to survive and they form a web of interconnections whereby knowledge, skills, machinery and facilities are shared.
The three main venues for the young people of Lewes are on the Phoenix Estate: the Skatehouse, the Dance Academy and Starfish Music Studios. There are an estimated 650 young people using these services every week. The Estate provides space for charitable enterprises to train and educate, and venues for all to attend or hire for classes, cultural events, and workshops.

In July 2014 Lewes Phoenix Rising conducted a comprehensive survey of all the businesses on the Estate, excluding CA Car Parts, Coach Company, Wenban Smith, Gosnells Soap Factory and Storage Containers (North St), two of whom intend to relocate to the extension of Malling Brooks Estate when the site is demolished.
Our survey showed that the site is home to 50 different businesses, occupying a space of 13,829 m2.
- 7 centres for the arts, comprising 83 workshops/studios and 13 cultural venues;- 10 community/charitable/ educational enterprises;- 13 manufacturing and design businesses;- 11 service businesses;- 2 light industrial businesses;- 2 construction businesses;- 1 retail business.
Between them, these businesses support in excess of 450 jobs and on average attract 3,900 customers and users per week.
The future outlook for these businesses is bleak. We understand that just two businesses are in discussions with Santon regarding new premises on the redeveloped site. Twenty-five per cent of businesses have had discussions regarding relocation, but have not had anything confirmed or been offered affordable alternatives. Three-quarters of businesses on the Estate have never been contacted.

Creating Phoenix Place
Lewes Phoenix Rising intends to give security to as many of the current businesses on the Phoenix Estate as possible and provide space for those of the future.
By retaining and renovating the workshops of the old Phoenix Ironworks on Phoenix Place, we will:
- provide affordable space for business-es, workshops, training, creative and social enterprises to be held as a com-munity asset for the town in perpetuity;
- preserve the architecture of the town’s industrial heritage;
- build 47 affordable rental homes, some of which will be available as live/work micro homes;
- open-up Phoenix Place to the town as a vibrant centre for people to visit, work, learn and have fun.

Masterplan: Study of existing housing densities within Lewes
Left: Comparative density of 7 recent developments in relation to LDC’s benchmark of 45 dwellings per hectare
The Santon/LDC development plan promotes housing densities similar to that of a suburban cul-de-sac (45 houses per hectare). By increasing the density of the housing, but not the number, we will have a more sustainable development. An appropriate urban density would be closer to 100 houses per hectare in accordance with CABE/BioRegional’s guidance on design of EcoTowns (2008).

A sustainable approach to housing density
Left: Exemplary precedents for higher urban densities.
Increasing the density of the housing on the Phoenix Estate allows for:
- close-knit smaller homes and greater affordability. A higher concentration of people creates demand for local services and allows for shorter travel distances between home, work and shops;
- a walkable and cycle-friendly neighbourhood;
- better neighbourhood interaction;
- less pressure to build on previously undeveloped sites;
- efficient use of land and infrastructure;
- a development more in keeping with Lewes’s historic town centre;
Higher density housing will release land for workspace and community enterprises on Phoenix Place without any net loss of housing on the overall Phoenix Estate development area.Enabling people to work and live in the same place further reduces the need to travel.

LPR Masterplan
We recommend that the whole site, excluding Phoenix Place, be designed with a housing density of 85 homes per hectare. This will enable space for:
- 413 homes (1-4 bed);- a health centre and extensive green spaces throughout the development;- adequate car-parking;- multi-purpose groundfloor space under all residential;- new market square.
The LPR Masterplan offers considerable room for adaptation and increasing densities. There is potential to: include more individual houses and fewer apartments and flats; infill new housing for future generations; or change use of ground floor space, so long as residents have ‘escape’ routes upwards in case of flood.
13
This Masterplan has received positive informal design review from:
Head of Design for Berkeley GroupHead of Urban Design for Levitt Bernstein.
Please note: The Masterplan has been designed for flood resilience i.e. no residential space on the ground floor.

It is important to acknowledge the long-term development possibilities on the east bank of the River Ouse. Plans need to anticipate the links that may one day be required to these new neighbourhoods. At present, both Tesco and the windowless ends of the Phoenix workshops turn their backs on the opposite bank, and the river creates a divide. The LPR Masterplan turns the development around with buildings that look across the river and two new pedestrian bridges.
Below left: Zoning Diagram
The density and height of the buildings are designed to relate and integrate with their neighbours. The buildings include low-rise innovative terracing adjacent to the historic housing of the Pells; medium height/traditional building forms that merge into the town; and wharf-style development along the river to reflect the traditional tall buildings around Cliffe Bridge.

Far left: Place Making It is important the development should not be a cul-de-sac solely for residents. Instead, visually distinct streets and public spaces will encourage circulation and use of facilities:
- Traditional terraced streets;- A new market square sunk deep into the development to draw people in;- A number of communal green spaces;- A river bank park;- A varied experience along a new riverside walk – wharfs, restaurants and bars.
Near left: Circulation Circulation is designed to keep a flow throughout the development. Curving streets reflect central Lewes and reveal views gently rather than presenting straight corridors. The Masterplan has potential for a second road bridge for future generations. Parking: the Local Plan requires no net loss of current car parking on the Phoenix Estate when the site is redeveloped. The LPR Masterplan provides for these with convenient on-street bays (168), undercroft car parking (225) and garaged spaces (120), thus avoiding suburban on-drive parking.

Sixteen different building block typolo-gies are used in the LPR Masterplan to create a varied and visually interesting urban streetscape of 413 housing units. This reflects, but does not parody, the collage of building styles and materials in central Lewes.
These buildings are not on Phoenix Place, the proposed LPR community de-velopment area. They are accurate mass-ing blocks to show there is room for 413 homes on the rest of the site. The plots await architectural designs.

Environmental impact: LPR proposes a development that looks to mitigate its environmental impact and is energy and resource efficient.
Flood resilience: build to accommodate flooding and not to disperse water into other parts of town. Implement mouth to source flood management plan through natural management rather than reliance on engineered solutions, other than flood defence for the Pells Cell.
Use the Ouse: revitalise the River Ouse for use as an amenity with a new working quay and slipway for transport and tourism. Restore natural ecosystems to create interesting riverside access.
Ecological approach
Open Future: don’t build to capacity. Allow for future ‘in-fill’ (the ‘back-casting’ approach) thus promoting historic continuity rather than to-capacity ‘blocks’ of development. Promote ecological connections though green infrastructure. Bio-diversity: green spaces, allotments and gardens throughout the development site. Introduce reed beds and water purification services for both grey and black water from houses and businesses. Increase tree cover throughout the estate as appropriate (based partly on outcomes from i-tree survey and Lewes Urban Arboretum Project). Robust infrastructure: build with capacity to carry additional load in future, e.g. the pedestrian bridge can become a road bridge for future generations; leave gap sites for future infill; install a district heating system to offer cleaner cheaper heating, with potential for expansion to additional areas and buildings in the future.

PHOENIX PLACE
By increasing the density of the housing on the remainder of the site, we release 3.5 acres for a community development of Phoenix Place, for the benefit of the town.
Lewes Phoenix Rising aims to provide affordable places to live, work, learn and have fun through the renovation and refurbishment of the old Phoenix Ironworks. This will provide 6,800+ m2 for businesses, workshops, community and educational enterprises, with 47 affordable homes along two new streets.

Delivering affordable homes
Lewes Phoenix Rising will build 47 affordable rental homes on Phoenix Place to mitigate the lack of adequate provision on the remainder of the site.
Lewes District Council wants 40% of all housing in new developments to be ‘affordable’. However, we understand Santon is only planning 32%, the majority of which will be available at 80% of market rate - an unaffordable cost for many local families, even those in full-time work.
The gap in Lewes between local wages and local house prices and rents is one of the widest in the country. This rules out home ownership for a majority of local people and puts rents beyond the means of many. In 2013 the average price of a house in Lewes was £359,400 and has continued to rise. To be affordable, rents would have to be no more, and preferably less, than 60% of market rents.
According to the Housing Revenue Account Budget 2014/2015 – Report to LDC Cabinet (Feb 2014) - these figures (above left) represent the average rents for social rents on lettings by the Council. These are district-wide figures; no separate figures for Lewes town are available.
On Phoenix Place, we will build 47 work/live, 1/2 bed affordable homes that can be internally adapted by residents to suit their needs. Modern sustainable building technologies will reduce costs and allow flexibility of design and self-finish. High energy efficiency will reduce living costs. All this can be achieved without cutting corners on quality. LPR will provide as many homes as possible at social rent levels by cross-subsidising with others at a slightly higher rent.
Homes will not be sold to private purchasers, but will remain assets for the people of Lewes District with criteria for occupation based on income.
Phoenix Place will be an industrious centre. Some of the homes will be work/live spaces, others have access to space where tenants can carry on small businesses or store their equipment.

In its last regeneration in 1951 the works became the East Sussex Engineering Company. After the closure of the company in 1976 a small foundry remained on the site until 1986. A number of small businesses subsequently occupied the area, establishing a vibrant, industrious community of manufacturers, artisans, creative, social and educational enterprises.
There are currently 450 people working on the Phoenix Estate, much the same number employed by Every’s in the heyday of the Phoenix Ironworks.
Our intention is to continue the process of adaptation and development that Every practised and can be read in the alterations made in the present structures. Through bold renovation and refurbishment LPR will provide provide workspace that fits the requirements of Lewes’s making and cultural economy, both now and into the future.
Industrial Heritage
The Phoenix Place workshops are the remains of our industrial heritage. Behind the cladding and under the leaky roofs are the solid Victorian iron structures, gantries, brickwork and architectural detail of the old Phoenix Ironworks.
These buildings are not only valuable because they are structurally sound and can be reused, they are also a continued connection with the town’s industrial history. The development of this site parallels that of industry in this country. In the 18th century, reed beds supported basket making. After this, maps show a paper and sawmill in the area. The wooden beams from this period are still in place in the old Hammonds warehouse.
In 1861 John William Every built a new ironworks as his work expanded beyond the original premises established by his father John in the 1830s. In the 19th century, Every’s was the largest employer in Lewes. The premises were adapted as technologies changed and the ironworks developed into an iron and steel works.
Every’s not only made small items such as drain covers and gratings (still to be seen marked ‘Every’ or ‘Phoenix’ on almost every street in Lewes) but also great quantities of cast ironwork and steelwork. These can still to be seen at Lewes and many other train stations, on Brighton seafront and on Eastbourne pier and bandstand. Every’s products were sold around the world, even the nuts and bolts of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are said to have come from Lewes.

Lewes Phoenix Rising has comprehensively surveyed all the original structures of the workshops on Phoenix Place using laser technology. There are eight ancillary units housed within two primary buildings. The two complexes are principally structured from the surviving building fabric of the Phoenix Ironworks. The historic roof trusses and iron framework are sound. They can be retained to support the renovation of the roofs, the remaining original brickwork and new facades. The existing infrastructure has the capacity to provide highly flexible and adaptable space with different internal arrangements, very similar to its current usage. LPR will make good the buildings to provide 6,800+ m2 of practical and suitable work and venue space. This will allow businesses and enterprises to be based affordably in the heart of town.

Work/live micro house designLPR will provide 23 homes designed for people who need the flexibility of living next door to where they and others work. This facilitates the sharing of skills, knowledge and equipment and the creation of a supportive community.
These homes are inspired by canal boats and caravans. Each home has a high internal volume facing the street (living area), and a high volume facing the workshop (mezzanine/sleeping area).

Potential constructionmethod
The construction method LPR are considering for the affordable housing is a sustainable panel system. The 400mm wide panels are constructed from a timber frame with straw bale insulation. The panels are finished with a breather board, to which battens are attached to accept the final external finish. The panels will be made on site, in one of the existing workshop buildings, and then assembled in situ on a prepared base with a damp-proof course. If appropriate the panels will be made from locally sourced materials.

Site acquisition
Forty percent of the Phoenix Estate is owned by Lewes District Council (the land to the west of North Street). The remainder, including Phoenix Place, is primarily owned by the Santon Group.
Lewes Phoenix Rising would like to acquire the right to develop Phoenix Place and retain it as a community asset in perpetuity.
The options available to do this include the following:
1. LPR buys the site from Santon.
2. As the site is potentially an asset of community value, Santon and Lewes District Council (LDC) negotiate a land swap using LDC’s land-holding within the Phoenix Estate.
LDC would then be in a position to transfer the asset to LPR, at little or no cost, within its powers to generate community value from its assets. LPR, or another community body, could then own and operate the site as a community asset.
3. LPR is granted a long lease on the site from Santon, at a peppercorn rent, as part of the section 106 developer contribution. This subsidy should take into account that enlivening the centre of the development will add commercial value to the surrounding houses.
The proposed Phoenix Place develop-ment has different characteristics:
1. Micro housing, to provide low-cost ac-commodation for individuals with work-space on the site.
2. Affordable apartments, to provide more spacious accommodation for small families or co-living.
3. Low-cost workspace, aimed at small businesses with tight margins or start-ups, in particular artisans, manufactur-ers and social/educational/charitable enterprises.
4. Higher-cost workspace, aimed at more established businesses, or businesses with requirements for higher specifica-tion workspace.
6. Ground floor space for workshops, re-tail, cafes etc.
These parcels all carry different invest-ment and risk profiles, and the develop-ment model is being constructed to re-flect these varying requirements.
Development model
There are many precedents for developers and/or local authorities working in partnership with community development organisations for the purpose of generating additional community benefit.
A recent example in Brighton is the redevelopment of the old covered market to create affordable workshops and residential development. This was achieved via a partnership between a local Community Interest Company, Brighton and Hove Council and Cathedral Group, a commercial developer.

LPR has prepared a development ap-praisal model with the advice of Gardin-er and Theobald, Montagu Evans and the Ethical Property Company.
Investment for community develop-ments is currently available from three principal sources:
Community shares. This is the model adopted by Lewes F.C. to finance its de-velopment and is now a well established route for attracting investment to gener-ate community benefit.
Loans from social investment funds. This market is now maturing with £200 million currently available for commu-nity development.
Commercial investment. For the com-mercial elements of the scheme, invest-ment will be sought from appropriate investment partners who share the ob-jectives of Lewes Phoenix Rising to pro-vide cross-subsidy to the affordable ele-ments of the development.
Grants. These are available from UK and EU government sources and there are a number relevant to the LPR plan: youth facilities, social enterprise, creative workspace, cultural activities, self-build homes, training and social inclusion etc.
Lewes Phoenix Rising will develop a business plan in order to look for finance from these sources.
Financing the development
The process of developing Phoenix Place will require a sophisticated construction management plan. We need to ensure that, so far as possible, there is minimal disruption to the existing businesses on the site and those on the wider North Street development area that intend to relocate to Phoenix Place.
Ensuring business continuity will involve a complex relocation strategy as outlying buildings are demolished and there is a staggered renovation process within Phoenix Place.
We have made the assumption that the site infrastructure (drainage, energy generation, roads, landscape etc.) will all be installed in the context of the site-wide redevelopment. We need to ensure that the phasing programme is consistent with a managed investment process to ensure that cashflow is positive, creating a financially viable development.
LPR are about to engage RPM, a programme management company, to assist us with the construction management plan. In order to proceed, however, we need greater detail about the Santon/LDC proposals so that we can dove-tail our plans with theirs.
Constructionmanagement plan
Some principles are already clear:
1. The LPR development of Phoenix Place will be incremental, with some of the existing buildings being used to provide temporary homes for businesses while new accommodation is upgraded in a progressive programme of works.
2. The residential component of Phoenix Place will be constructed using modular construction methods, with the components of the residential accommodation being constructed in the existing vacant industrial buildings on the site.
3. Infrastructure construction will be programmed to be consistent with the incremental nature of the wider development, being informed by detailed joint planning with Santon/LDC.
This development has the potential to be a ground-breaking partnership between Lewes District Council, Santon Group and the local community through Lewes Phoenix Rising, harnessing the expertise and enthusiasm of the three partners and creating benefit for all.
45
LPR proposes to work with LDC/Santon to enable a community development of Phoenix Place. This will meet LDC’s regeneration priorities, through the provision of affordable space for workshops, businesses and cultural, educational and social enterprises.
The LDC regeneration priorities are:
- Attracting investment
- Promoting enterprise
- Inspiring learning
- Welcoming visitors
- Strengthening partnerships
