BATH ROAD BRISTOLPublic Consultation | Wednesday 29th March 2017

WELCOME

Thanks for visiting Hadley Property Group’s exhibition on its initial plans to redevelop land at Bath Road in Totterdown.

This exhibition is to inform you about our plans to transform the disused land on the corner of Totterdown Bridge and Bath Road with a proposal for new housing and employment space.

You can find out more about our initial ideas for the site on these boards. Members of our project team are on hand to answer any questions.

Our plans are still at a very early stage and we would very much like to know what you think.

Hadley Property Group is an experienced, residential-led developer and is committed to working closely with local partners and the community to create high-quality, sustainable developments.

THE SITE

This area is driving the creation of around 17,000 new jobs in the city over the next 20 years.

The site is located on the corner of Totterdown Bridge and Bath Road, along the river.

It has two elements. One is bare land below ground-level that sits alongside the river (1) , and the other section is at road level (2). There was previously a petrol filling station on the land which apart from a temporary hand car wash which now no longer operates, has remained largely vacant since its closure.

There are a number of existing access points to the site along Bath Road as well as a bus stop that remains in use. We are looking at ways to provide safe access to the riverfront for pedestrians.

The site is located beside the successful and thriving Paintworks development on Bath Road (3), Totterdown on the edge of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. This area is driving the creation of around 17,000 new jobs in the city over the next 20 years.

The previously neglected land was acquired by Hadley Property Group in 2016, and is greatly in need of regeneration in a way that both energises the site and benefits the local area. Bath Road The Site River Avon

INITIAL IDEAS

SITE OPPORTUNITIES

Our aspiration is to create a high-quality development that is sustainable and is sympathetic to the site and local area.

Potential Vehicular Access

Our ambition is to deliver a site that includes:

• Up to 145 apartments which reflect our aspirations for a high-quality, sustainable development.

• Space for businesses to locate and grow.• Pedestrian links through from Bath Road to the river

The diagrams below show the constraints and opportunities we will be taking into consideration as we pull together our plans. The site, however, is ideally located for access with good views of the river and excellent access to cycle and pedestrian routes. We would look to make best use of these in our plans.

Potential Vehicular Access

• Access from Bath Road• Steep level change on site• Connecting to the riverfront• Linking with existing communities• Activating all sides of the ‘island’ site

• A pedestrian link from Totterdown to the riverfront• Lovely views of the river• Good access to cycle and pedestrian routes• The development and improvement of a derelict site• New public spaces opening up the site


Creation of up to 145 New Homes

The scheme will allow the creation of up to 145 new homes of varying sizes whilst providing new connections and spaces for the existing communities in the area.

Riverfront Connections

The scheme will allow people to access the waterfront and improve connections from the site to Temple Meads station. It will also provide enhanced views of the riverside from the development proposed for the site.

Industrial vs. Residential

The site sits on the edge between industrial and residential areas, mediating between the two. The proposal will seek to form an architectural dialogue which allows for a transition between the two different characters of the local area, linking these spaces as the Paintworks has.

Providing a Safer Site

The existing site was previouly a petrol filling station. There remanins a concrete deck and undercroft with a 7 metre drop from road level down to river level. The development will improve the safety of the site.

Wildlife Corridor

The design will respect and enhance the existing wildlife corridor.

Historical Connection

The scheme would draw on the cultural heritage of the site, which has a history of being a boat yard. Our ambition is to develop designs that would draw on this heritage.

VISION

Connected Community

The scheme would form a new part of the community, providing accessible high-quality public space along the waterfront.

A Better Place

The site would become a destination in its own right, forming links with the Paintworks to the east and the surrounding area.

Our vision for a proposed new development at Bath Road will be guided by the following principles.

Below are the eight main principles we will work to in order to inform the next stage of the design process.

These are:• Creation of up to 145 new homes• Providing a safer site• Creating riverfront connections• Provision of new public space• Connecting to an existing community at the Paintworks• Creating a mediating space between industry and

residential areas

SITE

ACCESS & POLICY

The site is located within the Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone within the Avon Riverside area. It is accessible, being close to the city centre and Temple Meads and therefore considered suitable for development.

The suggested approach for the site is mixed-use development incorporating housing and business uses.

The site is covered by site allocation policies BSA1210, BCS8 and BCS5.

The development considerations set out in the adopted 2014 plan are:

• Be informed by a site-specific flood risk assessment• Address noise and pollution issues from nearby uses

and Bath Road• Seek to retain a green infrastructure link east to west

adjacent the river• Be informed by ecological survey of the site• Protect, and if possible, enhance the adjacent River Avon

and its corridor• Be informed by investigation of land stability

The Bristol Temple Quarter Spatial Framework, although non statutory, outlines indicative development of the site with a range of development blocks.

Our ambition is to deliver a development in Bath Road that draws on our track record of raising the bar for environmentally sustainable development.

Although these are early days for this development, we will take a sustainable approach to our plans for the site. We have successfully done this in a number of our schemes, which includes the award-winning Greenwich Square in south east London.

Our approach also extends to how our residents travel. Although we would provide some parking spaces for cars, we strongly believe in creating schemes that encourage a long-term, sustainable approach to living.

Bath Road is very well connected to the city by both public transport and cycle networks, and our approach would be to encourage residents and workers to use these transport links.

Early assessments have been carried out on the site and indicate that there are no protected species on the site, including bats and badgers. Nor are there any potential foraging or commuting habitats on the site itself.

SUSTAINABILITY

GREENWICH SQUAREHadley Property Group


As part of this, we would look to:

• Include affordable housing and help meet the need for more housing in the area

• Create space for local businesses• Improve links through the site to the city and surrounding

area• Make the riverside accessible to the community• Create a high quality public realm

We want to transform this neglected section of Bath Road by creating a stylish, modern development that would be in keeping with Bath Road and the Enterprise Zone.

We believe in creating schemes that encourage a long term sustainable approach to living.
