Keep is an architectural practice who believe that a deeper understanding of project drivers leads to greater opportunity for better architecture.

We work closely with a variety of clients to achieve planning consents

and create high quality residential, commercial, retail and mixed-use

schemes.

What makes Keep unique is our ability to balance project value and

vision. Keep’s skill of understanding and adding value to each specific

task is balanced with creating outstanding project vision from inception

to completion.

We add value by resolving complex and challenging projects, increasing

project quantum, building efficiently and logically, listening to and

delivering client and stakeholder needs while understanding the

wider social, legislative, environmental and economic backdrop. We

create vision by producing solutions that go well beyond our clients’

expectations. We undertake striking and attractive, yet realistic, schemes

and we produce outstanding project imagery and information.

We have strong and clear lines of communication, engagement and

consultation. We recruit the best designers and technical staff and we

direct resources, promote debate and manage change effectively.

We are currently working with property developers, house builders, land

promoters, equity funds, listed property companies and private clients.

A selection of projects is showcased in this brochure, highlighting the

broad range of work undertaken in the last three years since Keep

started. While all are at different stages, each of these projects has a

specific character, reflecting the unique design skills that Keep offers.

CASE STUDY

Staplegrove East Urban Extension, Taunton

This ‘landscape-led’ masterplan proposes much needed homes to a sensitive site. By working with the

land promoter, landowners (including the National Trust) and the local authority, a ‘Framework Plan and

Development Brief Document’ was produced and endorsed by Taunton Deane Borough Council. Successful

public consultations, place branding and stakeholder engagement has been undertaken to help achieve a

masterplan that addresses multiple site constraints. The content of the outline planning application includes 915

homes, a primary school, a local centre, employment, and an expansive green infrastructure strategy.

At Keep, we understand the importance of positive integration into existing communities, while

promoting sustainable patterns of development that address the current need for housing in the UK.

By understanding the requirements of multiple stakeholders such as developers, local authorities,

housebuilders and landowners, we ensure that our masterplans deliver the best solution for the site.

The key to successful masterplanning involves a detailed understanding of a multitude of factors

prior to commencing any design work. These include site-specific constraints such as topography

and ecological issues, as well as wider contextual factors such as economics and planning policy.

Understanding site constraints and opportunities ensures an efficient design process, while creating

a unique ‘sense of place’ and delivering maximum development value for the client. This thorough

understanding of the site supports the scheme through to planning consent.

Keep work on masterplans for developments of between 40 to 3000+ dwellings.

North West Cullompton SPD, Mid Devon

Keep produced the Supplementary Planning Document

(SPD) for North West Cullompton together with Mid

Devon District Council. The adopted SPD provides a

comprehensive masterplan that met with the vision

of the local authority as well as the land promoters

and land owners. Keep are now progressing an outline

planning application for part of the allocation to include

circa 400 new homes, a local centre, employment, an

informed green infrastructure strategy and a strategic

link road.

Februar y 2016

Innox Mills, Trowbridge

The former Bowyers site is a high profile, ten-acre site in central Trowbridge adjacent to the town’s train station.

Having been derelict for a number of years, it is essential that this site is positively developed given its central location

in the town. Keep has developed a scheme by delicately balancing commercial drivers and technical constraints while

understanding the local authority’s vision for the site. The resulting design provides an attractive place for a variety of

users, incorporating leisure, commercial and retail uses. The conversion of the listed mill buildings also forms part of

the development.

Elm Grove, Trowbridge

The site at Elm Grove, Trowbridge, presented the design team with challenging hydrological and ecological

constraints. By embracing these conditions, a design emerged that is efficient, appropriate, and housebuilder friendly.

Working closely with the local authority at an early stage has ensured that their various requirements are met. Keep

will submit the scheme for planning at the end of 2016.

CASE STUDY

Langarth, Truro

Keep inherited this flagship masterplan for 1500 new homes in 2015, and has since obtained detailed planning

consent for 494 dwellings for the first two phases. Working with challenging topography and ecological

constraints, a successful reserved matters application was prepared that met the criteria of a standard

‘housebuilder product’. By delicately balancing the site constraints, the expectations of the local authority

and the requirements of the housebuilders, Keep has prepared a scheme that successfully meets the various

demands of the project.

Keep has an excellent understanding of residential design in the context of the UK housing market. By

balancing the best design practice with the needs of housebuilders, homeowners, and local authorities,

we are able to create an appropriate and valuable residential solution.

Whether a scheme calls for an efficient high density development with intelligent solutions for privacy

and car parking, or for large family homes dictated by land value and specific local needs, Keep will

produce well designed and attractive places.

Keep also understands that there are a number of drivers that could add significant value to a project

such as place branding, appropriate affordable housing, or a strong green infrastructure strategy. Keep

will have an open mind to every residential project and ensure value is added at each stage of the

design process.

House Types

Using the house designs from national housebuilders as a guide, Keep now has its own set of ‘standard house types’. These

designs are accurately 3D modelled in CAD, and can be adapted to meet specific project criteria as needed. Residential

schemes can therefore be designed efficiently and accurately, allowing the client to quickly understand the various options

and issues that a site presents. It also in turn helps to justify and explain a set of proposals to a wider audience, such as a

local authority, that is based on a realistic design.

Westbury Hospital Redevelopment

To assist with the government’s aim to deliver more housing on public sector land in the UK, Keep have worked with NHS

Properties Limited to provide much needed new homes on this redundant hospital site near the centre of Westbury. Keep

have prepared a housebuilder friendly layout that meets with local needs to ensure easy dispersal following a planning

consent.

Riparian House, Bath

Keep delivered these exclusive apartments in Bath for

Swinhay, having inherited the planning consent. The

highest quality details were achieved through a process of

close collaboration with the developer and contractor. All

the apartments on this high profile site were sold above

market value during the early stages of construction.

Timsbury Private Housing

Keep worked within the constraints of a central village

location in a Conservation Area to deliver high value

proposals for detached family homes with integrated

garages. Close collaboration with the client and the local

authority ensured a valuable scheme was delivered

that had an appropriate urban design and architectural

response to the surrounding area. The houses were

completed in 2015.

St. George’s Works, Trowbridge

By working closely with the landowner and within

the challenges of the Conservation Area, a high

quality and attractive residential development has

been prepared for this urban site in the centre of

Trowbridge. A variety of accommodation has been

provided including mews houses, new apartments

and the conversion of historic buildings.

Housing, South Bristol

Keep has successfully resolved complex urban design

and topographical issues on this proposal for 62 new

homes in Bristol. Bristol City Council have been very

supportive of the design for this high density mix of

new homes, including town houses and apartments.

PRS Bristol

Keep are working on a number of high profile sites to provide PRS (Private Rented

Sector) schemes with 150-400 units in Central Bristol. Due to changes in home ownership,

PRS has become a significant growth sector in the UK.

CASE STUDY

Milford Haven Port Regeneration

By working closely with the Milford Haven Port Authority, a planning consent was achieved in 2015 for this

large scale, mixed use development. The project included 200 new homes, a variety of retail, a hotel, a pub and a

new HQ for Milford Haven Port Authority.

At Keep we believe that mixed use schemes should be encouraged to ensure sustainable development

is achieved. The desire for mixed use developments, however, has to be underpinned by a robust

appraisal that understands the commercial characteristics unique to the site. Bringing together

complimentary land uses and a mix of higher value building types contributes positively to a scheme,

creating a development whose value is greater than the sum of the parts.

balanced against a well organised and

appropriate urban form.

West Langarth District Centre, Truro

Outline planning consent was granted in 2015 for a new district centre, sports facilities, and circa 100 new homes. The

proposed development acts as an enabling project to help fund the new Stadium for Cornwall, located at the centre of

the wider masterplan for Langarth.

Temple Gate, Bristol

A well balanced, high density, mixed use scheme has been provided for this city centre site at the entrance to Temple

Meads Station. An 80 bed hotel, apartments, a variety of offices, a convenience store, secure parking and a range of

food and beverage units was provided for Exemplar as a part of their bid for the site in 2013.

CASE STUDY

Bodmin Retail Development

Keep inherited this scheme after planning and developed the detailed proposals for construction with the design

team and national retailer. A robust and cost effective solution was prepared that met the needs of the client and

retailer. The building was delivered on time and within budget in Summer 2016.

Keep understands the rapidly changing face of the retail, commercial and industrial sectors in the UK.

Moreover, the needs of different occupiers and brands are often detailed, specific and complex. By

embracing these aspects and working closely with tenants and developers, we ensure that appropriate

schemes are proposed. A thorough understanding of the retail and commercial sector also benefits our

work in preparing mixed use layouts and masterplans.

Keep works with a number of

developers and retailers across

the South West and South Wales.

We understand the changing

requirements for national operators

and successfully balance these

needs with legislation to obtain

planning consents. Keep have

prepared schemes for food store

operators including Waitrose, Lidl,

Aldi and Sainsbury’s. We also work

with non-food retailers, leisure

and hotel operators, and food and

beverage occupiers.

West Langarth Retail Park

Keep have prepared a coordinated layout that meets the detailed needs of national retailers. A mix of retail units

has been proposed that is efficient, commercially attractive, and provides a successful solution for our client.

CASE STUDY

Hassocks Golf Club Redevelopment

Keep undertook successful public consultation and engaged with the Neighborhood Plan to produce a

landscape-led design for 130 new homes in Hassocks, West Sussex. The scheme takes into account the

importance of long distance views and establishes a rural strategic gap. The site was one of two chosen for

allocation for housing from 20 competing sites.

Public consultations are a crucial step in the delivery of planning consents. By balancing a good

understanding of planning policies, local needs, and the client’s project drivers, Keep prepares high

quality presentations, displays and accompanying website media to help support planning applications.

Our consultation work has led to site allocations within local plans, the adoption of Supplementary

Planning Documents and planning application consents.

Staplegrove East Urban Extension Public Consultation

Due to the sensitive nature of developing large scale urban extensions, it was agreed that a number of public consultations

would be prepared at key stages of the design process prior to the submission of the planning application on this large site.

Extensive and widespread engagement was encouraged with multiple stakeholders to ensure local concerns were raised

and addressed appropriately. There was a strong reaction from the local community to the initial principle of development,

however by continued engagement a positive route forward was achieved for the scheme.

Westbury Hospital Redevelopment Public Consultation

The issues of transforming an empty hospital site to provide much needed housing was clearly communicated and

explained during the consultation period. The local community were keen to consider the options for redevelopment and

engage with the design process. Keep responded to the concerns of the local community and a robust and appropriate

solution was prepared for the site.

Riparian House Visualisation

Keep prepared high quality visualisations for the agent’s marketing brochure. The images represented the

design and finishes but also accurately showed the relationship of the proposal to the River Avon and the wider

landscape. The images were a key aspect in securing the asking price for all the properties.

Keep understands that clear and accurate communication is a key part of delivering a successful

scheme. This may include a high quality visualisation for a marketing report, or explaining a complex

set of issues that support a planning application. We ensure that excellent communication information

is produced at every stage.

We provide the following services:

• Visualisations

• Vision Documents

• Branding

• Website Design and Hosting

Cornwall Stadium Vision

Keep’s proposals for a new district centre in Truro acted as an

enabling project for a new stadium for The Cornish Pirates

as well as sports facilities for the wider community. To help

gain support, a complex set of commercial and political issues

needed to be clearly explained to the local community along

with explanation to the planning committee at a critical stage

of the project. Planning consent was granted in Summer 2015.

Innox Mills Branding and Website

Place branding can add significant value to sites and is crucial

to mixed use developments, especially in town centres. Keep

are working with the existing site in central Trowbridge and

its unique characteristics, while understanding and balancing

the commercial drivers and need for housing in this location.

Vision Documents

One of the most powerful tools for promoting a scheme is to create a strong project vision. At Keep, we understand how to

distill that distinctive character into a clear and appropriate vision document. Maximum value is added to each project by

promoting a strong and unique sense of place.

The proposals would utilise the existing woodland to provide a mature

landscape setting for the development and the corridor of green space

between the developed areas and the perimeter woodland provides an

exciting opportunity to create a linear park.

It is envisaged that the linear park will be used for informal recreation.

It may include a cyclepath linking the various zones of housing with

the existing public footpath which crosses the site. There may also

be opportunity for a series of linked swales, providing a sustainable

drainage solution, as well as seating areas. Planting could include small

blocks of native woodland to help assimilate the housing as well as

groups of specimen trees, under-planted with bulbs and a flower rich

seed mix.

A new belt of native woodland planted on mounding adjacent to the

motorway will seek to reduce the impact of the latter.

Elsewhere streets, cul-de-sacs and house frontages will be softened

with specimen trees, garden hedges and low maintenance shrub

and perennial plantings. The entrance to the site, off St George’s Hill

will be more densely planted to provide an attractive gateway to the

development.

Within the proposed housing areas, the public footpath provides

an excellent opportunity to create a ‘green corridor’ including a

cyclepath, linking the village of Easton-in-Gordano with the facilities

at Gordano Service Station. The landscape scheme will seek to

take advantage of both onsite and offsite nature conservation and

biodiversity opportunities, with the aim of creating sustainable green

infrastructure.

The proposed development will provide a sustainable and attractive

extension to Easton-in-Gordano. It will be an environmentally friendly

development, working with the existing grain of the landscape and

urban form to efficiently use the land and prevent further urban

sprawl, so that the countryside can be protected from wholesale

development.
