Introduction

The Prince of Wales masterplan has been divided into four distinct character areas with each area being assigned specifi c design characteristics that are carried through the landscape treatment, highway design, choice of materials and choice of building typologies.

This section of the code looks at both the broad over-riding design aspirations for each of the character areas as well as setting out which house typologies are deemed most appropriate for each area of the site. A simple traffi c light system has been used to divide house types into the following groups:

Green: House type is highly appropriate for this character area

Green/Yellow: House type is appropriate for this character area but should not predominate

Yellow: House type can be used but should not dominate important vistas, streets and spaces

Yellow/Red: House type can only be used very occasionally and only in key locations

Red: House type should NOT be used in this character area

HOUSING TYPOLOGY

CHARACTER AREAS

Typology Selection Process

The housing typologies that have been advocated using the traffi c light system for each character area, have been selected after careful consideration against each of the following six criteria:

Criteria 1: Where is the Parking Located?Some parking solutions lend themselves better to more urban locations than suburban or quasi-rural ones

Criteria 2: Number of StoreysThe height of buildings can have a signifi cant urban character. Higher land values have traditionally led to taller buildings of three or more storeys being located in town and urban centres, with single storey dwellings located in lower density rural areas.

Criteria 3: Length of Frontage (visual permeability)Longer terraces of housing reduce visual permeability to the rear and private gardens and reinforce the building line of the street.

Criteria 4: Gable HeightThe transition between buildings of different heights within a street scene can sometimes be very abrupt and/or create highly irregular eaves and roof lines creating an inconsistent character. In considering which typologies to advocate in each character area, attention has been given to the ability of taller building forms to step down to lower buildings to either side.

Criteria 5: Coverage and DensityHigher density house types with higher coverages are advocated for the more urban areas, whilst lower density units with larger plots have been selected for the Garden Suburb and Green Edge

Criteria 6: Depth between Building Line and Back of FootpathCertain typologies enable shallow front garden depths which leads to greater sense of enclosure on streets and around public spaces.

Alternative Typologies

Not all typologies are covered within the code and there will be a number of variants that can add signifi cantly to the quality and sense of place within each character area. If a variation is proposed, this should be discussed with Harworth Estates and the local authority at the early stages of design to ensure that it will be accepted as a reasonable deviation from the code.

Typology Mix

Developers are encouraged to use a selection of the advocated typologies within each character area and street. Schemes that only contain a small number of the advocated typologies are unlikely to be supported.

Typology Selection CriteriaThe diagram below is NOT an example of an acceptable street scene and is used to illustrate the implications of selecting a wide range of typologies within the same location

Street Surveillance

Criteria 1: Where is the Parking Located?Some parking solutions lend themselves better to more urban locations than suburban or quasi-rural ones

Criteria 2: Number of StoreysThe height of buildings can have a signifi cant urban character. Higher land values have traditionally led to taller buildings of three or more storeys being located in town and urban centres, with single storey dwellings located in lower density rural areas.

Criteria 3: Length of Frontage (visual permeability)Longer terraces of housing reduce visual permeability and reinforce the building line of the street.

Criteria 4: Gable HeightThe transition between buildings of different heights within a street scene can sometimes be very abrupt and/or create highly irregular eaves and roof lines creating an inconsistent character. In considering which typologies to advocate in each character area, attention has been given to the ability of taller building forms Wto step down to lower buildings to either side.

Criteria 5: Coverage and DensityHigher density house types with higher coverages are advocated for the more urban areas, whilst lower density units with larger plots have been selected for the Garden Suburb and Green Edge

Criteria 6: Depth between Building Line and Back of FootpathCertain typologies enable shallow front garden depths which leads to greater sense of enclosure on streets and around public spaces.

With certain internal fl oor plans, it is possible that there is very little ground fl oor surveillance of the adjacent street as a result of the primary living areas being located to the rear of the dwelling. Developers and their designers are therefore encouraged to ensure that within each length of street there are suffi cient habitable rooms at ground fl oor level that will be occupied on an evening. This means trying to avoid situations where front elevations are populated by utility rooms, WCs, circulation spaces and kitchens that are not part of a wider living space

Ground Floor Habitable RoomsWindows to living, playrooms and dining rooms should be located in the zone shown wherever possible to ensure some natural surveillance over the adjacent street

Kitchens to Front ElevationsIf a kitchen is the only habitable room on the front elevation capable of providing natural surveillance, then it should form an extension of a wider living space to the rear to ensure that during the evening all windows onto the street are not in total darkness

82

Typology References

In order to effectively navigate the housing typology proposed for each of the character areas, this code contains a simple reference system that is explained in the adjacent graphics.

Every house has its own unique combination of the key variables which is then used to create the associated reference number.

Apartment Typologies

Since the development does not include any specifi c apartment proposals, a typology has not been included within the code. Should future reserved matters applications come forward with an apartment element within them, these will be need to be designed to sit sympathetically with the adjacent proposed housing typologies.

Other Typologies

The design code aims to cover all the most common housing typologies deployed by the majority of house-builders in this region. However other typologies may be considered if they are consistent with the approach and intentions of the housing typologies

being advocated within a particular character area.

HOUSING TYPOLOGY

CHARACTER AREAS

Typology Variables

The housing typology variables that have been used are as follows:

Dwelling TypeIs the dwelling detached, semi-detached or part of a terrace of 3 or 4 dwellings? Terraces of greater than four units have not been included due to market considerations but may be considered as a variation from the code if circumstances favoured this approach.

Number of storeysThese have been limited to buildings of one, two and three storeys due to local market considerations

Single and Double Fronted ElevationsA double fronted dwelling is defi ned as one where there is a principal window either side of the front door. Since double fronted houses are generally wider and traditionally have been used to convey higher status or importance within the street, these have been given their own typology.

Parking ArrangementsWill the cars be parked at the front, side or rear of the property and will there be integral garages

Access to The RearIn the case of terraces of 3 or 4 dwellings, consideration has been given to the two principal access typologies which include access to the mid-terrace dwellings via a passage to the rear accessed from the side of the

end unit, and access via a gated central; passage with accommodation at fi rst fl oor level.

OptionsIn some limited cases a typology may have a number of alternative confi gurations in which case it will be shown as “Option 1” or “Option 2” etc.

HOUSING PLOTS: ZONING BANDS

Each character area is comprised of a number of urban blocks, with each block being sized to take account of the housing typology that it is intended to accommodate. All housing blocks include Zones 3, 4 and 5 shown opposite which allows for front drives, the houses and their private rear gardens designed to the current Space About Dwelling standards.

Where rear parking courts are required (or are deemed as being desirable to allow for houses to be located closer to the highway) a rear court parking depth of 10m has been added.

HOUSING TYPOLOGY: CHARACTER AND DENSITY

Housing density and coverage have a signifi cant impact on character and ultimately inform the fi nal choice of housing typologies in a particular area of the site. Later in this document, further clarifi cation is given on which typologies are being advocated for each of the character areas. The diagram above explains the four principal categories of typology that have been considered

RURAL EDGETypically lower density housing where land values are lower. Single storey dwellings with wider and often double frontages SUBURBAN

Relatively low density housing, predominantly two storey and often semi-detached with on plot parking, garages and private gardens. SUBURBAN TO

URBAN TRANSITIONSimilar to suburban housing but with integral garages with accommodation over to increase coverage as land prices and demand increases URBAN

Often three storey and terraced on smaller individual plots to maximise density and take account of typically higher urban land prices. Integral garages very common.

LOWER DENSITY

HIGHER DENSITY

DENSITYDensity is used in this document to refer to the number of houses per “net” developable area of land. It is often expressed as dwellings per hectare or dwellings per acre.

COVERAGECoverage is a measure of the net internal sales area of housing for a defi ned area of land. It includes all residential accommodation on all fl oors but does not include garage fl oor areas. It is often expressed as square feet per acre or, less commonly, square metres per hectare.

HOUSING AND PARKING TYPOLOGY

FRONT OF HOUSE PARKINGParking is located to the front of the property rather than to the sides or rear. This allows higher densities to be achieved but can result in cars being highly dominant in the streetscape.

SIDE OF HOUSE PARKINGParking is located to the side of the house with typically a drive in front of the building line and an additional spaces or spaces behind the building line. This arrangement allows for larger garden areas and more landscaping to the front of the houses with the consequential reduction in visual impact of parked cars

LINKED GARAGEA linked garage provides security and additional storage for cycles etc. However if set on the building line, a drive is still required to the front of the property resulting in wider streets and a more suburban character

INTEGRAL GARAGE - SETBACKAn integral garage with residential accommodation above not only increases coverage, if setback from the building line, it also allows the drive to be shortened and a shallower front garden to be provided. This can assist in creation more enclosed and urban streets without impacting adversely on land and property values

INTEGRAL GARAGE An integral garage with residential accommodation increases coverage,and can provide a more defi ned and consistent building line. However, the drive is pushed forward of the building line and, where dwellings are narrow fronted, can lead to a dominance of parked cars on the streetscape. This parking typology is best utilised in conjunction with other parking typologies and ideally should not be the predominant form in any particular area.

REAR PARKINGSee separate typology opposite

inappropriate choice of parking solution. Since the parking typology and house type designs are normally very closely related, most house builders will need to consider both aspects at the time of developing their proposed housing mix for a site. Clarity of which parking types are acceptable in specifi c areas is therefore required from an early stage if a potentially adverse impact on viability and sales is to be avoided.

This design code has considered all fi ve of the normal parking typologies that are utilised in modern urban and suburban housing developments. Careful selection of the appropriate parking typology is needed to ensure that the intended character of an area of the site is not adversely affected by the

REAR PARKING TYPOLOGY

Rear parking arrangements can assist in providing signifi cant urban design quality to a new development, however they have some limitations and need to be planned for from the outset and should be used carefully and expediently. Not all house builders have house types that can utilise these parking arrangements and early discussions will be needed with developers if they are to be promoted on a specifi c parcel of land within a larger masterplan area.

REAR PARKINGDETACHED HOUSESThe garage is not linked to the house and pushed to the rear of the plot. This either increases the number of parking spaces for the house or allows the street to be narrowed and a more urban character to be created. All parking can be then pushed behind the building line and hidden behind gates if desirable to do so.

REAR PARKING SEMI-DETACHED OPTION 1The garages are not linked to the house and are pushed to the rear of the plot. This either increases the number of parking spaces for the houses or allows the street to be narrowed and a more urban character to be created. All parking can be then pushed behind the building line and hidden behind gates if desirable to do so.

REAR PARKINGSEMI-DETACHED OPTION 2The garages are placed in a small shared space to the rear of the houses accessed via a shared private drive. The advantage is that all parking is hidden from the street and the gaps between houses is signifi cantly reduced creating a more defi ned building line. The disadvantage is that deeper plot depths are needed to accommodate the rear parking which means larger, long term masterplans need to be mindful of the setting out implications if this typology is to be used

REAR PARKINGTERRACESThe garages are placed in a shared parking court to the rear of the properties. This confi guration is best suited to groups of 3 or 4 terraced houses as larger numbers of houses results in the need for much larger plot depths which can be diffi cult to accommodate within normal urban block structures as well as leading to management and security issues. To access the rear, residential accommodation is needed over the bridge which can result in “top heavy” accommodation. This typology can add signifi cant enclosure to the street and public spaces it overlooks and is well suited to defi ning urban spaces and providing well defi ned streets with clear front building lines

DETACHED HOUSING TYPOLOGY

The detached housing typology recognises that the use of detached houses will vary as density and enclosure expectations increase. At the extremes, three storey houses with integral garages are clearly more suited to urban character areas than double fronted single storey dwellings which have large associated plots and are better suited to rural edge locations.

FULLY INTEGRATED GARAGEBest suited to higher density street scenes with clearly defi ned building lines

INTEGRATED GARAGESETBACK FROM BUILDING LINEBest suited for higher density urban areas where narrower street widths are desirable with greater sense of enclosure

3 STOREYDETACHEDThree storey house types are more suited to higher density, urban character areas. Detached three storey units may be used occasionally in lower density suburban areas but should be used as focal points and landmarks and as corner turners rather than within generally street scenes

2 STOREYDETACHEDTwo storey detached house types are generally suitable for suburban and rural locations and may be used occasionally in more urban areas as focal points.

SINGLE STOREYDETACHEDSingle storey detached houses are most appropriate in lower density locations such as rural or rural/suburban transition areas. They should generally be avoided in urban character areas due to their impact on character, enclosure, density and coverage

The semi-detached housing typology increase density and coverages as they avoid the need for access to both gables. The removal of a 1.5 metre wide access along one side of a house can increase overall site density by between 10% and 15% when compared directly with an equivalent site of detached houses.

SEMI DETACHED HOUSING TYPOLOGY

3 STOREY SEMI-DETACHEDThree storey semi detached houses, like their detached counterparts, are more suited to urban character areas. They should only be used very occasionally in suburban character areas in key locations as their massing and from can appear incongruous if used in general suburban street scenes

2 STOREYSEMI-DETACHEDTwo storey semi-detached house types are a predominant form of suburban housing. They are relatively effi cient in their use of land while still enabling each dwelling to have on-plot parking and private garden space to the rear without the need for shared accesses. They are less suited to urban character areas and should therefore not be the predominant typology in these areas.

SINGLE STOREYSEMI-DETACHEDSingle storey house types are low density and produce lower coverages. This makes them challenging to deliver in areas of high land values and they produce low levels of enclosure to streets and spaces. Semi-detached single storey dwelling can increase density and viability but should be used carefully in suburban and rural edge locations

FULLY INTEGRATED GARAGEBest suited to higher density street scenes with clearly defi ned building lines

HOUSING TYPOLOGY

CHARACTER AREASTERRACED HOUSES: ROWS OF THREE DWELLINGS

Terraced rows of houses provide a particular challenge as the location of the parking and rear garden access to the mid terrace properties requires careful consideration. The typology above shows both permutations. Central covered passages are a traditional solution but result in non-standard plan forms and extra bedroom accommodation at fi rst fl oor level. Shared accesses can provide security issues if the shared gates are not secured on the frontage. In urban design terms however, the terraced form can provide high levels of enclosure to the street and public spaces and provide high density

Terraces in Urban Character AreasBoth the two and three storey terraces are suitable for use in urban character areas with the central covered passage solution more desirable if the house

builder has appropriate house types to accommodate this solution.

Terraces in Suburban and Rural Character AreasThe two storey terraces, rather than the three storey, are a more common and appropriate urban form for suburban and rural edge character areas. Shared rear accesses with secured gates to the street are also more typical in these areas and may be considered in certain locations.

ACHIEVING VARIATION

Developers and designers are encouraged to pay particular attention to the buildings identifi ed on the way-fi nding and legibility drawings as corner turners, focal points and landmarks for particular consideration and additional treatment. Rather than introducing signifi cant variation of materials and style within the general street scenes, changes of material, roof profi le, eaves line and more elaborate/sophisticated architectural features such as bay windows and principal doorways should be concentrated on these key buildings.

KEY BUILDINGS AND VARIATION HOUSING TYPOLOGY

CHARACTER AREAS

The typologies shown in this document illustrate parking confi gurations, access arrangements and building forms that are acceptable in each character area. However subtle variation within each of the typologies is encouraged to promote greater interest and diversity within the street scene. Signifi cant deviation from the typology will be considered, however early discussion will be required with both the landowner and local authority before signifi cant work is undertaken to ensure that the alternative being proposed is acceptable and to avoid unnecessary and abortive design work.

EXAMPLE VARIATIONS These examples illustrate how modest changes in the basic building typologies can result in signifi cant variation within the street scene without the need for major changes in style, form and character

STOREY HOUSING

The Urban Edge Character Area provides the transitional area between the town centre, Skinner Lane and the lower density Garden Suburb and Green Edge. Housing is denser, predominantly three storey and set closer to the highway. Public realm includes a greater degree of hard paving with trees set into permeable paving with urban tree guards rather than in grass verges. House boundaries are walled rather than hedged although these are softened by planting within the shallower front gardens.

THE URBAN EDGE

CHARACTER AREAS

Materials

Roof materials are to be predominantly natural slate or artifi cial grey plain tiles to refl ect the natural slate roofi ng of the town. If concrete or coloured clay roof tiles are used in place of natural slate then tiles with a shallow front edge should be used.

Walling should be predominantly brick to match the local Pontefract town with only very occasional use of render.

Timber boarding and wood grain effect fi nishes to windows and doors should be avoided.

Rainwater goods and railings to the front of the house, where utilised, should be black.

Paving to public areas should be in accordance with the Public Realm materials palette contained in another section of this code.

Public Open Space

Formally planted entrance space with formal “park” at centre of the character area.

The Garden Suburb is the principal character area at the heart of the development. It is characterised by the quality and extent of green space which includes a central recreational green area, tree lined verges along the main highways and hedge planting to the front gardens of all the houses fronting onto the higher order streets. Building styles are traditional, being characterised by duo pitch or hipped roofs, bay windows and occasional “L” shaped plan forms with gables fronting onto the principal highway (see diagram opposite). Walling materials are predominantly brick and render with occasional timber boarding and tile hanging to accentuate key elements of the building.

THE GREEN EDGE

CHARACTER AREASTHE GARDEN SUBURB

Materials

Roof materials are to be predominantly red/orange pantiles and plain tiles.

Walling is to be predominantly red brick or white render with some feature timber boarding at key focal points.

Rainwater goods are to be black plastic or black aluminium.

Windows should be fi nished in white or, if the house is designed to refl ect a particular architectural style, a colour appropriate to that period.

Artifi cial wood grain effects are not to be used on windows or doors.

Where either art stone or stone dressings are to be used around windows and openings, these should be in a colour to match the local Yorkshire Sandstone.

Adjacent to the Urban Edge, external materials should be the same as those used in the Urban Edge.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GREEN EDGE CHARACTER AREA

The Green Edge is a continuous single character area along the eastern boundary of the site, adjacent to the railway. It provides a strategic pedestrian and cycle link to Skinner Lane and Pontefract town centre and, subject to adjacent development land coming forward, a longer term link to Park Road.

Family housing overlooks this linear green area andthe wider block structure of the development has been set out to facilitate ease of pedestrian and cycle access to this area.
