SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 16 www.csj-planning.co.uk Planning and Heritage Statement – Fry Building, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This Planning and Heritage Statement has been prepared by CSJ Planning on behalf of the applicant, the University of Bristol, for Planning and Listed Building Consent for the installation and replacement of roof-level edge protection / guardrailing at the Fry Building, Woodland Road. 1.2. The development is required as existing edge protection is either lacking or so substandard that it falls below the current safety requirements of Building Regulations and the University. Discussions regarding the proposed system have been undertaken with the University’s building maintenance staff to ensure the proposals meet their needs and requirements. Principal features of the proposed development include: • New and replacement 1100mm high guardrails which, due to space limitations, will be fixed to the inner side of the crenelated parapet and will consist of slender black painted rails to limit visual impact; and • New 1100mm high freestanding guardrails fixed around the cruciform extension and painted black to limit visual impact. As the space allows, these will be set back approx. 1 metre from the roof edge and will replace substandard safety bars currently fixed directly to the crenelations (which will be removed). SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS AND PLANS 1.3. The following documents have been submitted with the application: • Planning and Heritage Statement by CSJ Planning • Design and Access Statement by The Architecture and Planning Group (APG) plus: o 0001-P01 Location Plan o 0100-P02 Edge Protection Location Plans o 0101-P03 Details o 0102-P01 Free Standing Guarding Details o 0103-P03 Existing North Elevation o 0104-P03 Existing East Elevation o 0105-P03 Existing South Elevation o 0106-P01 Existing West Elevation o 0107-P01 Proposed North Elevation o 0108-P01 Proposed East Elevation o 0109-P01 Proposed South Elevation o 0110-P01 Proposed West Elevation www.csj-planning.co.uk 1 Planning and Heritage Statement – Fry Building, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG 2. SITE DESCRIPTION CONTEXT 2.1. The Fry Building is a Grade II listed building on the University’s campus with educational and heritage value central to the integrity of the precinct and Conservation Area. The building was a central hub to the University of Bristol’s institutional predecessor: University College Bristol. Since then, it has housed a variety of educational departments always having a highly functional presence in the University’s myriad of buildings. 2.2. The Fry Building is a composite structure: an amalgamation of three different buildings. These having differing dates of origin and all three parts have experienced additions and alterations since their material genesis. Whilst the historic character of the Grade II listed building has been preserved, new additions include an atrium linking to a new 140-seat lecture theatre underneath a roof garden. 2.3. The building resides at the intersection of University Road and Woodland Road behind a low rubble stone boundary wall. University Road extends northward from Queens Road and Woodland Road extends northward of Park Row. A short distance from this intersection are other large institutional buildings that belong to the University. Namely, Senate House, the Hawthorns and the Physics Building. 2.4. To the south of the building is the School of Geographical Sciences, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and Wills Memorial Building. Opposite to the west, across University Road, is Bristol Grammar School. Abutting the eastern side of Woodland Road, with the Fry Building comprising much of the western side, is the School of Arts. 2.5. There is no overwhelming style that dictates the architecture though Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian styles are present in the area. In addition, there are recent builds such as the Centre for Sport, Exercise and Health; these lack heritage or aesthetic value. 2.6. The site is located in a proximate to a well-connected public transport network with there being a large number of services and routes that provide access to other areas of Bristol as well as Temple Meads train station for further regional or national travel. 2.7. The existing edge protection on the building is not considered to be a part of the original design for the building. Indeed, no guardrailing can be seen on historic aerial photography from the 1940s1. SITE DESIGNATIONS 2.8. The site is located within the Tyndall’s Park Conservation Area. Many of the nearby buildings are listed either as Grade I or Grade II. The buildings of highest value include Royal Fort House (Grade I) and the Physics Building (Grade II). Tyndall’s Park Conservation Area 2.9. The site is located within the Tyndall’s Park Conservation Area. The Conservation Area was designated on 18th February 1981. Many of the nearby buildings are Grade I or Grade II Listed. 2.10. Of note are: Wills Memorial Building (Grade II*), Browns Restaurant (Grade II) and 66 Queens Road (Grade II). The buildings of highest value include Royal Fort House and the Physics Building. These, 1 As per https://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/ image reference EAW000736. www.csj-planning.co.uk 2 Planning and Heritage Statement – Fry Building, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG in addition to other undesignated buildings of heritage merit, contribute to a strong heritage character of the surrounding area. 2.11. Tyndall’s Park is named after Thomas Tyndall, who resided in Royal Fort (directly to the south of Senate House) and acquired the area to create a landscaped park. Pressure from population and economic growth over time saw peripheral sections of the park sold off and developed, creating large, detached villas with gardens. Larger sections were eventually sold off to education establishments and today, the University precinct covers the vast majority of the former parkland. Most of the development took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. 2.12. The Conservation Area strives to protect the large and distinctive styles of the University’s buildings. Also, deemed important to protect, are the Edwardian and Victorian terraced villas that surround the University’s main precinct, particularly to the north. In addition, the area’s designation attempts to reduce the impact of traffic and movement around the area so to maintain a townscape that is not dominated by vehicular use or traffic. 2.13. The Fry Building is close to the south-western border of the Conservation Area. However, given its large extent, it spans from this liminal space to an edge proximate to the centre of the Conservation Area. The building is one of the key institutional buildings that have a primary role in the definition of the character of the area. The character of large buildings in the Conservation Area percolate throughout the designation acting as key loci of heritage value which produce the prevailing characteristics and style of the locality. 2.14. These buildings are particularly important as they are in conflict with other large buildings in the area that actively degrade the heritage character of the area. One such building is the University of Bristol’s Sports Hall and Gymnasium. As such, the Fry Building can be seen to underpin the integrity of the Conservation Area. www.csj-planning.co.uk 3 Planning and Heritage Statement – Fry Building, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG 3.

  • Tindall's Memories
    MEMORIES OF THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT K. F. Tindall 1 Memories of the Physics Department by K.F. Tindall Foreword My memories of life at the H.H.Wills Physics Laboratory in the University of Bristol span forty-one years. There are gaps, for I was not there for the whole of that period; indeed, in 1940, although I was in the building, I was there as an Admiralty visitor, and between 1949 and 1951 I was at St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Paddington. The urge to record some of the happenings in the department over the years has been with me for a long time. I promised myself I would do it when I retired but other interests affected my motivation. In December, 1989, I met Professor Thompson in the laboratory who asked me if I'd started writing. When I said I was thinking about it he encouraged me greatly, saying, "GET ON WITH IT!" I have tried to verify all facts and dates and am very grateful to all my colleagues throughout the University who have supplied information. From outside the department those whom I thank include Sir Alfred Pugsley, Mr.Evan Wright, Mrs.Molly Sanders, Chris Harries and Brian Jenkins. Don Carleton advised me to include everything I could remember. I have followed his advice but there are bound to be omissions. My thanks certainly go to Eleanor, my wife, who has not only tolerated my disappearing from the domestic scene for hours at a time while I applied fingers to keyboard, but has aided my memory and criticised, helpfully, my results.

  • The Richmond Building 105 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LN Tel (0117) 331 8600
    The Richmond Building 105 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LN Tel (0117) 331 8600 www.bristolsu.org.uk Student Council Meeting 05/06/2017 Motion Name: Anti slavery commemoration Background: - Bristol’s callous and shameful tie’s to slavery is embedded around the city. Notorious for its prosperous slaving port and importing of goods from slave plantations, the wealth and profits from the trade is still prominent. - Many university associated buildings have links to slavery, including; Goldney Hall, Wills memorial building , Wills hall and an association to the Colston society. - University of Bristol’s black acceptance rate is 6.9 per cent making it the fifth lowest of any Russell Group university. Purpose: - Due to the University being located centrally in a city that profited greatly from slavery, it has a responsibility to address the history especially in university buildings that uphold those links. - With students attending halls such as Goldney and Wills we believe the university should play an active role in further educating the students on their links to slavery. - With a small percentage of BME students attending the university, we believe that addressing the history will further incite a more inclusive and diverse environment, especially due to the prospect of graduating in the Wills memorial building. - In the wake of several BME students being targeted and racially abused within the university grounds. Educating all students on the university buildings with links to slavery, essentially reduces ignorance and therefore indicates that the university is taking steps to provide are more inclusive environment for BME students. Action: - To have more information inside the Wills memorial building about its history and links to slave produced tobacco.

  • Estate Strategy 2013 - 2018
    Estate Strategy 2013 - 2018 This strategy was completed and approved by the University’s Council on 23 November 2012. It was written by Patrick Finch, Sue Somerset and Martin Wiles, Bursar, Head of Space and Asset Management and Head of Sustainability at the University of Bristol. The contributions of many colleagues from within the Estates Office and the wider University community are gratefully acknowledged. 1 Introduction The University of Bristol Estate Strategy is one of a suite of corporate planning documents. It seeks to map University policy objectives onto the physical assets available and to ensure that the Estate, one of the University’s key resources alongside people and finance, is capable of supporting academic endeavour over the plan period. The Estate Strategy is designed to support the University’s corporate planning statements. Of particular relevance is the following extract from the University’s Vision document to 2016, relating to Estates Development; • Provide all parts of the University with flexible accommodation which is of a quality, size and functionality appropriate to the activities to be delivered and which supports the University’s vision. • Ensure the most efficient use of existing space and the development of capacity within the central Precinct area wherever appropriate • Continue to work to reduce carbon emissions and improve the sustainability of the physical estate • Provide residential accommodation which is attractive to students in form, service and location • Deliver an ambitious capital programme in support of the renewal of accommodation and the creation of adaptive capacity • Provide an attractive, safe, accessible and welcoming setting for University buildings that is sympathetic to the wider urban context In addition, the strategy addresses the University’s growth agenda established in 2011/12 and which requires a fresh look at the physical resources available.
