SHARPNESS DOCKS ESTATE 3 UNDERSTANDING THE SITE

ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS

The site presents a number of challenges, these include sensitive ecological areas such as the Ramsar site on the estuary and important wildlife areas, which need to be conserved:

SHARPNESS DOCKS ESTATE 4 THE VISION

Taking this on board, we want to re-imagine what the Sharpness Docks Estate could be, and balance the aspirations for the estate as a place to live, work and visit whilst conserving its sensitive setting and distinct character:

The diagram below shows the New access point into the site off Oldminster layout of the new access point Road in more detail.

Local Road Capacity

Traffic to and from the new development will inevitably increase the use of Oldminster Road. A traffic modelling study has been undertaken which has shown that the existing junctions around Newtown and Sharpness will remain within capacity and therefore do not need to be improved.

Improvement works will be required to the junction of the B4066 with the A38 in the form of a roundabout, which will improve traffic flow to and from the B4066 onto the main road. The number of cars using Oldminster Road itself will remain well within the capacity of a single carriageway road.

Accommodating the Heritage Railway

The design of the access into the development has been undertaken to allow a tunnel through the embankment to facilitate the heritage railway, should those proposals come forward. SHARPNESS DOCKS ESTATE 15 ACCESS + MOVEMENT

SHARPNESS DOCKS ESTATE 23 MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT

CHANGES SINCE THE LAST CONSULTATION

We have made a small number of changes to the Current Masterplan: masterplan since our last consultation in March 2015. These are explained in more detail below:

1. Marina 2 Marina; Housing and apartments have been removed 1 from the western side of the dock and replaced by small scale commercial or retail space. 3

2. Housing Area The layout of the streets has been altered to better accommodate the roads within the existing topography of the land.

The new layout also creates more of a gateway into the site. Where the new access road enters into the new housing area, the streets are positioned to recreate that of a village centre and enhance the connection to the new marina.

A more flexible range of uses has also been designed around the eastern marina. 2015 Masterplan

3. Access The access point off Oldminster Road has been 2 drawn up in more detail, looking at the engineering 1 work required to achieve the change in levels at an adoptable highway standard. The entrance to the road is positioned further south along Oldminster Road to 3 discourage vehicles from using Coach Road.

4. Regulatory Plans More detailed work on the key aspects of the scheme have resulted in the preparation of a set of parameter plans which will fix certain aspects of the development.
