Landmark view corridors

The above plan illustrates the opportunity to create local fitness opportunities such as a 5km park run around the neighbourhood.

The above plan illustrates site analysis undertaken prior to masterplanning to identify important view corridors across the site which were then integrated into the design.

The Landscape is a vital part of this development and our Landscape Architect’s [colour] have produced this strategy to integrate the development into the landscape and take advantage of its best features. The strategy seeks to achieve the following elements:

1. Work with the Existing Landform and Topography

Development of circulation and access routes to take into account existing falls and reduce gradients where possible. Utilisation of cut material from excavations for foundations, utilities, roads and swales to create identity and mitigation.

2. Access to Open Space and facilities:

Provision of a variety of community focused open spaces within a short walk of all residents. Each community neighbourhood shall be developed around a unique space, setting its identity. Elevated parts of the site shall be retained as public open space so that views can be enjoyed by all.

3. Promotion of a Healthy Lifestyle:

Creation of a residential destination where the ease of undertaking physical activity becomes a key character:

• Formalise and integrate well-loved footpaths with an enhanced network linked to each new area

• Traffic calmed streets creating comfortable walking and cycling environment

• Inclusion of natural play areas and green gyms.• Potential for ‘park run’ type routes

6. Onward Access to Non-vehicle

Recreational Networks:

Connectivity of neighbourhood

Chapelgarth - The Vision: Landscape Strategy

Precedent Images - recreational usage

recreational circuits to regional networks and wider established national leisure trails.Strengthen cycle connections and use of routes into Sunderland

4. Integration of Blue Infrastructure:

Sustainable Urban Drainage including, permeable surfaces, swales, attenuation ponds and rain gardens shall be integrated into the design of each neighbourhood community and public open space.

5. Promote Ecological Networks:

Retain existing green infrastructure and enhance habitat connectivity around margins with native biodiverse planting. Easements to green corridors shall be integrated within the development and public edges maintained.

6. Sympathetic Integration of Noise Mitigation Strategies:

Provision of a suite of landscape design measures to help reduce the noise impact of the A19

7. Provision of Natural Greenspace:

Creation of new open space for a mix of recreational uses, including:-

• Dog walking

• Running

• Cycling

• Horse riding

• General fitness activities

Chapelgarth - Acoustic bund, green screen and diverted section of W2W

The acoustic bund and living screen are required to mitigate the noise generated by the A19 and provide a quieter living experience for the new residents.

The section of W2W has been proposed to be diverted into the greater development and green space area to create a more pleasant and peaceful environment for users of the route. In this location the route will also benefit from passive supervision from the rest of the development.

The diversion is proposed to be integrated along the top of the new earth bund providing a slightly elevated position so that users can enjoy the outward views.

Material strategy: Multi-user route and green links

Character / Approach

A network of footpaths bridle and cycle ways provide an upper spine to the development and recreational opportunities for fitness circuits.

Multi-user route :

Surfacing - Split provision of hot rolled coloured asphalt - Tarmac Mastertint, or similar, in light buff and self-binding gravel - Breedon Wayfarer or similar. Laid in accordance with Sunderland City Councils recommended specification.

With High quality concrete kerb stone- Tobermore Kerbstone, or similar, in Natural colour delineating the boundary between the two surface materials.

Steps - Timber risers and edging with self-binding gravel surface as above.

Access control onto multi-user route and recreational trails

Access Gates

Access into the southern SANG area and use of the multi-user path will be provided and controlled via double buggy hoops an A-frame and bridle gates where required. This is to ensure no unauthorised use of the new routes from e.g. trail bikes.

The form and dimensions of this system is to comply with Sunderland City Councils Rights of Way departments typical detail as below:

Managing construction activities Planning status of development

The building out of the full masterplan is anticipated to take at least 10 years and will involve different contractors and housebuilders undertaking separate phases / areas of work.

To ensure the safety of the public and avoid any potential restrictions on walkers and other recreational users of the site whilst construction operations are ongoing local diversions to regular routes may be in operation. These diversions will aim to take as similar a route as the previous but be at safe distance to provide protection for users during the construction works.

The planning authority have applied strict conditions to their planning consent for the development to control working hours, access and ensure open space is kept accessible.

Prior to first occupation of any dwelling within a phase of the development the associated open space shall be made available.

During the construction period of the whole works the recreation facilities offered will be a mix of new, where phases of works have been completed, existing where works are yet to start and temporary where construction works are ongoing. The access routes and connections will be maintained in one form or another at all times.

• Outline Planning Permission was granted in December 2016 for the whole development of up to 750 homes, open spaces and community facilities

• A first phase of around 160 dwellings is expected and Miller Homes have submitted the details of this to the Council for approval

• Work is expected to start on site this summer

• We are currently working on details of the landscape bund along the southern boundary and those will be submitted to the council in the next few months

• Siglion are committed to be involved throughout the development project.
