Regeneration Framework Masterplan 7.2 The Framework Masterplan defines a number of key linking regeneration Figure 10: Framework Masterplan corridors and a series of distinct, yet related, development areas. The Framework articulates the role of these corridors and development areas and the way in which together they will capitalise on the opportunities to deliver comprehensive urban renewal. The Framework Masterplan is illustrated in Figure 10. 7.3 The Framework comprises the following regeneration corridors which in most C cases also act as the interfaces between the principal development areas: 3 • Church Street - as it links eastwards from Preston city centre to London Road. Church Street acts as the thread binding the Horrocks Quarter into the historic core of Stoneygate and into the city centre. • Manchester Road (including Church Row) - a key north-south link between Cardinal Newman College and the residential communities around Queen Street to the city centre and the Bus Station, a key focus 2 for public transport. • Queen Street – as it leads from London Road through to Avenham and, via Cross Street, to the historic Winckley Square.

  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

Some key principles for considering the regeneration of Queen Street and Cardinal Newman College in the future are also presented. 9.2 This further design guidance considers in more detail how the design principles of massing, views, new routes, spaces, active frontages and buildings of townscape value can be applied to these specific areas and projects. Further details, including potential Cardinal Newman site capacities, are included in the area profiles appended to this College report (refer to Appendix 5). These are provided for each area other than for Queen Street / Cardinal Newman College where the regeneration strategy and potential remains to be defined. 9.3 It is acknowledged there will need to be a degree of flexibility in developing and considering detailed design proposals as new information and site constraints emerge. However the core principles outlined in this Framework Masterplan should be the starting point for developing proposals and should provide the benchmark

  • Cardinal Newman College Inspection Report 2001
    Cardinal Newman College REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE 2000-01 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education according to a four-year cycle. It also inspects other further education provision funded by the FEFC. In fulfilling its work programme, the inspectorate assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum, disseminates good practice and advises the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circulars 97/12, 97/13 and 97/22. Inspections seek to validate the data and judgements provided by colleges in self-assessment reports. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge of, and experience in, the work they inspect. A member of the Council’s audit service works with inspectors in assessing aspects of governance and management. All colleges are invited to nominate a senior member of their staff to participate in the inspection as a team member.
