This would be marked by a retail parade as well as a public square. This ambition was never delivered in full. While the existing Danebury Centre provides a viable retail parade including Roehampton Library, there is no clear focal point in the form of a cohesive public space or significant . Looking further afield, while communal green space is not lacking, there is also a very limited amount of civic public space throughout Alton West, Roehampton Village and Alton East. We propose to create a new Village Square to create the focal point that these three areas are in need of. As described in more detail later in this section, the square is carefully positioned to allow each of these urban areas visibiilty, access and frontage Roehampton onto the space. The location diverges from that proposed in the Village 2014 Alton Area Masterplan, which included a square further to the west. This previous location was surrounded predominantly by new development rather than a combinaton of new and Alton West existing buildings. Critically, our new location reveals the existing - and previously hidden - St Joseph's Church along the square's eastern edge. This respects the church's setting as an important piece of local heritage and allows Roehampton Village to sit equally alongside the new Alton Green development. The square sits at the centre of a Venn diagram, helping to stitch together three urban areas of disparate character. It is the first move in tackling the disjointed urban fabric and creating a more cohesive part of the city.

The landscape strategy prioritises the creation of safe, attractive and healthy streets. • North/south pedestrian links through the estate will connect the retained and improved streets that predominantly run east/west. • Improved streets will be well proportioned and easy to navigate, drawing people into and through the estate, to access the range of amenities on offer. • Planting and street trees will be used to screen parking Increased Improved areas and create a more attractive environment. routes to accessible routes Roehampton through scheme • Car parking, cycle stands and street furniture will be Village incorporated carefully, so that streets are uncluttered, Potential Future safer and more easily usable particularly for pedestrians connections to and cyclists.

  • Journal Article
    Regenerating Public Housing: Lessons and Best Practice Pat Hayes Introduction Like the former Prime Minister David Cameron I spent part of a misspent youth knocking on doors in malodourous London tower blocks, though I was doing it for the likes of Harriett Harman and Peter Tatchell, being LSE not Oxbridge. I have since spent most of my working life attempting to improve what Mr Cameron (who will probably go down in history as one of Britain’s most disastrous prime ministers) described, using popular parlance, as “sink estates”. Today I will talk about the origins of these problems and how many of us are successfully doing what Mr Cameron claimed in January 2016 we were not doing. Namely transforming places that didn’t work into places that do. Background Housing supply and the cost of housing has never been far from the top of the list of UK public concerns for most of the last 100 years and indeed the modern middle class seem to discuss house prices almost as much as they do the weather. The ongoing nature of the problem and the part housing plays in the national economic psyche being, in part, a result of the much urbanised nature of the country and some strange quirks of economic fate. It is worth, therefore, briefly considering the evolution of our housing stock and the policies that shaped it. In doing this I will focus on the urban rather than rural. Urban Britain as we now know it largely evolved in the late 19th and early 20th century, the age of Empire as Eric Hobsbawn described it.

  • C20 CA Project Short Reports on Potential Conservation Areas
    Conservation Areas Project Potential Conservation Areas Short Reports December 2017 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction Section 10.3.2 of the Brief for the Twentieth Century Society Conservation Areas Project requires the research consultants ‘to prepare summaries of around 50 areas that have potential for future conservation area status, providing information on their location, the architect, date of construction, borough, one or two images and a short paragraph about the site’. These short reports are listed in Section 2.0 below, and the full reports follow, in numerical order. All the short reports follow a standard format which was agreed by the Steering Group for the Project (see appendix 3 of the Scoping Report). The reports are intended principally as identifiers not as full descriptions. In line with the research strategy, they are the result of a desk-based assessment. The historic information is derived mainly from secondary sources and the pictures are taken largely from the Web (and no copyright clearance for future publication has been obtained). No specific boundaries are suggested for the potential conservation areas because any more formal proposals clearly need to be based on thorough research and site inspection. 2.0 List of Potential Conservation Areas Historic County Area Name Local Planning Record Authority Number Berkshire Blossom Avenue, Theale West Berkshire 01 Buckinghamshire Energy World Milton Keynes 02 Buckinghamshire Woolstone Milton Keynes 03 Cheshire The Brow, Runcorn Halton 04 Devon Sladnor Park Torquay 05 Dorset

  • Domestic 4: the Modern House and Housing
    Domestic 4: Modern Houses and Housing Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide, one of four on different types of Domestic Buildings, covers modern houses and housing.

  • Transitional Spaces in Architecture and Psychoanalysis — a Site-Writing Jane Rendell, the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London
    May mo(u)rn: transitional spaces in architecture and psychoanalysis — a site-writing Jane Rendell, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Abstract Addressing the architectural concept of the ‘social condenser of a transitional type’, the research traces this idea’s progress from the Narkomfin Communal House in Moscow (1928–29), to Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseilles (1947–52), to the Alton West Estate in London (1954–58). At the same time, with reference to the work of Sigmund Freud, D.W. Winnicott, André Green and Jean Laplanche, the research investigates the inherently spatial vocabulary of psychoanalysis, in particular notions of the transitional space of the ‘setting’. This physical and psychic scene of the psychoanalytic encounter is shown to offer new approaches for understanding relationships between subjects, objects, concepts and sites in architectural historical research and practice. **** This essay is woven together out of three transitions: a sequence of theoretical insights drawn from psychoanalysis concerning the transitional spaces which exist in the relationships between a subject and his/her objects; alongside a series of transitions from one architectural space to a second and then a third; and next to a third strand — one which narrates the story of an arts and crafts building in London’s green belt and the photographs of modern architecture I found within it — which aims to dissolve the frame of the story by recounting the writing and rewriting of this essay in response to its many tellings.1 The psychoanalytic strand charts a particular set of ideas around transitional objects and spaces: starting out with Sigmund Freud’s reflection on how the first object is also the lost object in his work on mourning and melancholia; before moving to D.

  • Housing Projects Available on the Market Today
    “How Do We Live?” Housing Workshop / London 2018 30th March — 6th April Jocelyn Froimovich, Johanna Muszbek University of Liverpool in London A big percentage of a city’s building stock is destined to housing. The sort of housing that is continuously repeated, not the one-of-a kind client-tailored house. As cities’ growth fluctuate, housing demands vary. Thus, housing in a city is a constant enterprise: built, converted, recycled, and restored. Housing is the stuf cities are made of. Cities house housing. Housing house lives. Lives have changed significantly. Has housing in the city followed these changes? Is urban housing being designed accordingly? Diferent lifestyles need diferent homes. Diferent homes develop within housing types. Housing types respond to and create a particular urban condition and vice versa. This is a problem that has been thought of before. The question of how to design housing has accompanied the discipline throughout the last century, but many housing design paradigms still remain the same. Housing design never starts afresh; housing design operates through variation, iteration, and/or mutation of prior examples. The series of workshops “How do we live?” venture into a typological investigation, with the expectation that types can provide a framework to deal with complex urban variables. By understanding the particulars in the production of a housing type, the architect can manipulate and reorganise—invent. This workshop will discuss housing types, exemplary of a particular city in its making. By looking at past exemplary projects ant today’s market ofer, the goal is to observe, analyse, participate and hopefully interfere in the production system of the urban1.

  • The Alton Estate, Roehampton in the London Borough of Wandsworth Planning Application No
    planning report GLA/4302/01 27 August 2019 The Alton Estate, Roehampton in the London Borough of Wandsworth planning application no. 2019/2516 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008. The proposal Mixed-use phased development ranging from 1-9 storeys above ground level comprising 1,103 residential units and up to 9,572 sq.m. of non-residential uses comprising new and replacement community facilities; flexible commercial floorspace, and community uses. The applicant The applicants are Redrow Homes Limited and the architects are Hawkins\Brown, Barton Willmore, Tate Hindle & Gillespies. Strategic issues Estate regeneration: The proposals do not comply with London Plan Policy 3.14 and draft London Plan Policy H10 or the GPGER as the development would not deliver like for like replacement of social rented units; there are shortcomings in the consultation process; the decant strategy is significantly lacking in detail and does not take account of the impact of CPO process. The principle of estate regeneration would only be accepted should these issues be addressed in full. (paragraphs 20-40) Affordable housing: The affordable housing is segregated in single tenure blocks on the periphery of the site, which is unacceptable and must be better integrated throughout the scheme. The affordable housing offer itself is unclear. The intermediate offer includes shared equity which is not recognised by the GLA as a genuinely affordable housing product. The offer, excluding shared equity is 8% affordable housing on the uplift generated on site (64:36 split between social rent and shared ownership).
