Listed since August 1992 it is a key part of Barry’s industrial heritage defining the town’s local sense of place; Built in the 1880s it provided “…hydraulic power to operate coal drops, lock gates, swing bridges and other equipment around the docks…” according to the CADW Listing. CADW refer to the property as the “…North Hydraulic Pumping House…” and “…one of the few hydraulic pumphouses remaining Wales, part of this important dock complex…”; The property has a footprint measuring circa 1,014 Sq M situated within a 0.5 hectare (1.3 acre) site. The freehold interest of the property and its site was purchased from Associated British Properties by the Vale of Glamorgan Council with WDA grant aid in the late 1990s; The property is located within the heart of the Innovation Quarter (IQ), a 19-acre development area in Barry Waterfront. The IQ is being delivered by a joint venture between the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the Welsh Government. The IQ vision is to create a mixed use “urban quarter” complementing the Waterfront; In 2009 the Pumphouse was a derelict structure on the Buildings at Risk Register - It was externally restored in 2010 and 2011 by a £1.4M works contract (£1.6 M including professional fees) funded jointly by the Council and Welsh Government. This initial restoration contract aimed to save the property and make it more attractive to potential developers/investors; Following its external restoration the Council (in close liaison with the Welsh Government) marketed the property via Savills during 2012 - 2013. In October 2013 a developer called DS Properties came forward with an exciting scheme to convert the property into a mix of uses with the support of EWA Architects and WYG; Early pre planning negotiations commenced in February 2014 between the Council’s Development Management section, DS Properties and their consultants. In May 2014 the Design Commission for Wales were consulted and they commended the Council for the initial restoration and provided a design review of the developer’s conversion proposals. Taking account of the pre planning negotiations with the Council and DCfW review, the developer finalised the scheme design and submitted it for planning in August 2014. At the end of October 2014 Planning and Listed Building Consent was granted to DS Properties for their scheme proposal; During 2014 (in tandem with the pre planning process) detailed land disposal contract negotiations were held between the Council’s land disposal project team (in liaison with the Welsh Government) and DS Properties. In November 2014 a 999 year lease was agreed with DS Properties; DS Properties commenced works on site in December 2014 for the circa £2 million scheme comprising: o 15 no. Live/Work/Residential units on a newly created mezzanine floor; o 3 no. A3 units to accommodate potentially a Fitness Studio, restaurants/coffee shops; and o a landscaped pedestrian Piazza/public square alongside on site car parking. 5 DS Properties physically completed the conversion works ten months later in August/September 2015; Academy Coffee opened in December 2015, followed by Hang Fire Southern Kitchen Restaurant and a gym called Snap Fitness, which both opened in March 2016. The 15 no. live/work/residential units have also all been occupied; The Pumphouse is a good example of how a local authority (in liaison with the Welsh Government), a private developer and its design team, can work together in a very positive and collaborative way to achieve the delivery of a high quality heritage restoration and regeneration project; The project has been recognised as an exemplar, winning or being a finalist for a number of prestigious national and regional awards as follows: o Highly Commended Winner: RTPI Wales Planning Awards 2015; o Finalist: RTPI UK Planning Excellence Awards 2016 (Excellence in Planning For Built Heritage Category); o Finalist: RICS Wales Awards 2016 (Regeneration & Conservation Categories); o Finalist of the RSAW Awards 2016; o Winner: LABC South Wales Building Excellence Awards 2016 (Best New Conversion Category); o All Wales Winner LABC Award 2016 (Best Change of Use of an Existing Building or Conversion Category); o Shortlisted For: 2016 UK LABC Awards (Best Change of Use of an Existing Building or Conversion Category). The success of this project has involved a great deal of hard work and commitment from a wide range of public and private organisations and individuals including the Vale of Glamorgan Council (assisted by Acanthus Holden Architects, John Weavers and Savills), the Welsh Government, and developer DS Properties (assisted by EWA Architects and consultants WYG); The environmental, economic and social regeneration benefits of the project are outlined in the report. Fundamentally this public and private collaborative project has saved a historic building for the benefit of future regenerations. It has delivered a creative conversion by DS Properties of a vacant industrial building with a sustainable mix of uses, resulting in bringing back to life a historic building, which today is a great place to live, work and enjoy leisure time in the heart of Barry Waterfront regeneration area. Barry Pumphouse (2012) alongside the Business Services Centre (BSC) 6 1. Background & Regeneration Context Introduction 1.1. The North Hydraulic Pumphouse is a grade II Listed former industrial property and local landmark situated within the Innovation Quarter at Barry Waterfront. As an important part of Barry’s industrial heritage it contributes greatly to the town’s local sense of place. Built in the 1880s by the Barry Dock and Railway Company the Pumphouse is an iconic industrial structure that at the end of the nineteenth century/early twentieth century played an important role generating power for Barry’s historic dock complex (along with two other pumping houses that no longer exist). In 2009 the property was derelict and at risk, but today the Pumphouse has been sensitively and creatively restored and brought back into beneficial use with a creative mix of uses providing an inspiring place to live, work and enjoy leisure time. Regarded as a flagship heritage restoration and regeneration project the Pumphouse has received recognition by winning and being nominated for a number of awards. Barry Waterfront Setting 1.2. Situated alongside Barry’s historic No.1 Dock Barry Waterfront comprises approximately 80 hectares (190 Acres) of former derelict dock/industrial land situated between Barry’s town centre and the seaside resort of Barry Island. The first phase of the Waterfront was commenced in the 1990s by a partnership between the Welsh Development Agency and Associated British Ports (ABP) and resulted in the delivery of new road links including a road bridge between the Waterfront and the town centre, 686 new homes, a new supermarket (Morrisons) and other retail space along with creating a promenade along the edge of the No.1 Dock. 1.3. In October 2007, Barry Waterfront Consortium (Barratt Homes, Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey) entered into an agreement with ABP and the Welsh Government to purchase the remaining 100 acres of undeveloped former dockland land at Barry Waterfront for the delivery of a project called The Quays. The Quays, a £230 million regeneration project, was awarded full planning approval by the Vale of Glamorgan Council in March 2012 and the BWC aims to deliver around 2,000 new homes over a 10-year period including a new commercial district with bars, cafes, shops and a new ASDA supermarket that opened in April 2015. 7 The Innovation Quarter 1.4. The Innovation Quarter is the subject of a Joint Venture between the Council and Welsh Government aimed at delivering a master planned mixed use “urban quarter” comprising a mix of employment, education, community, commercial, leisure and other uses complementing the wider Barry Waterfront. North Hydraulic Pumphouse – at the heart of the Innovation Quarter master plan. Innovation Quarter Master Plan 1.5. To date the Council and Welsh Government partners have facilitated with various partners and developers/investors circa £30M of public and private investment resulting in the delivery of: North Hydraulic Pumphouse – award winning restoration and conversion of as previously derelict 1,014 Sq M historic property, the focus of this paper.

  • Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword
    Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Local Development Plan which provides a framework for sustainable development within the Vale of Glamorgan up to 2026. It is an extremely important Policy document that will guide the growth of the Vale of Glamorgan over a fifteen year period and identifies the infrastructure needs of our communities in terms of employment, facilities and services needed to support that growth. In setting this framework for the future development of the Vale of Glamorgan, we have been mindful of the need to regenerate and support our communities and in doing so the Plan seeks to achieve a balance between economic growth, social cohesion and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Plan’s emphasis is on re-using previously developed land and minimising the need to develop on green fields. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Barry where the emphasis is very much on the continued regeneration of the Waterfront. In addition, we have ensured that sufficient emphasis is being placed on providing for an appropriate level of growth in other communities throughout the Vale thereby ensuring their long term sustainability and vitality. In reading the document you will see that the evidence base that has informed the Plan and its policies is wide ranging and robust. I am particularly pleased that in progressing this Plan we have been able to comprehensively identify and allocate land for the services and facilities that will be needed to support additional residential and employment growth during the Plan period.

Each topic paper can be read in isolation or together with other topic papers to gain a wider understanding of the issues facing the Vale of Glamorgan. 1.2 The topic paper considers the Council’s responsibilities for Gypsies and Travellers in relation to national and regional planning policy and provides further detail for the justification of any site allocations contained within the Deposit LDP. 2. Background 2.1 Section 87 of the Local Government Act 2003 requires local authorities to produce Local Housing Strategies (LHS) that set out the key issues facing housing provision within a local authority area. The LHS outlines opportunities, constraints, problems and priorities and how these will be addressed. LHS must consider the accommodation needs of Gypsies and Travellers in order to comply with the statutory requirement imposed by section 225 of the Housing Act 2004. 2.2 Planning Policy Wales Edition 4 (February 2011) (PPW) sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government (WG) and directs that local authorities are required to assess the accommodation needs of Gypsies and Travellers and states that it is important that policies for the provision of Gypsy sites are included in local development plans.

  • Reflections @ the Quays, Barry Waterfront, Vale of Glamorgan: Low
    Reflections @ The Quays, Barry Waterfront, Vale of Glamorgan: Low Cost Home Ownership Image for illustration purposes only Newydd Housing Association in partnership with Vale of Glamorgan Council What is the Low Cost Home Ownership scheme? The Low Cost Home Ownership scheme is operated by Newydd Housing Association in partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council. This scheme aims to help first time buyers who can’t afford to meet the full cost of buying a property, but could manage to buy their first home on a shared equity basis. Buyers will be expected to gain a mortgage for 70% of the property value; they will then own the property outright. Newydd will hold a legal charge on the remaining 30% equity. No rent is payable on the 30% equity, this is because the scheme is operated on a shared equity basis, rather than shared ownership. Buying a property through the scheme will still incur the normal costs associated with buying a property on the open market, including valuation, mortgage and survey fees, solicitor and land registry costs, search fees and stamp duty. What does shared equity mean? This scheme operates on a ‘shared equity’ basis with a 70/30 percentage split. This means that the first time buyer would purchase 70% of the property value with the remaining 30% of the equity being retained by Newydd as a legal charge on the property. Newydd’s 30% equity is held on an interest free basis and there is no rent payable on this equity charge. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate by way of a Mortgage In Principle offer that they are able to finance 70% of the property value through a mortgage but cannot afford to buy without this assistance.
