Bath Quays Bridge Scheme West of England Investment Board Full Business Case Programme: Bath Quays Bridge Scheme: Bath Innovation Quays 1 Version 1.0 22/11 JF 2 Version 2.0 28/11 RM 3 Version 3.0 29/11 SM SM 1/12/16 4 5 Originate Reviewed Authoris Date d ed 1 Doc v.1 Last updated May2016 Submission date:30/11/16 Submitted by: B&NES Approved: Executive Summary Bath & North East Somerset Council is committed to delivering the comprehensive redevelopment of Bath Quays as the Council’s flagship regeneration scheme within the Bath Riverside Enterprise Area. As part of the overall Quays development, the Council is seeking to deliver a new pedestrian and cycle footbridge between the north and south banks of the River Avon spanning the quays. The Bath city Riverside Enterprise Area was awarded status in 2013, and in April 2016 will receive full Enterprise Zone status (from hereafter referred to as the Enterprise Zone). The Quays Bridge will deliver a vital piece of independent highway infrastructure creating a much needed additional river crossing for this area of the city, as well as providing a safer, vehicle-free pedestrian and cycle route from the south directly to the city centre. The new bridge will land within a significant new area of public realm (Bath Waterside) which also delivers significant new infrastructure improvements along the northern bank of the river Avon, delivering enhanced opportunities for cycling and recreation. Both the north and south landing points will tie into the existing urban and riparian landscape, as well as key strategic routes and ongoing regeneration projects. The Quays are centrally located within the Bath Riverside Enterprise Zone and are key sites for delivering economic growth in key sectors, in line with wider WoE aspirations. B&NES has high aspirations for the site and is keen to deliver the transformational redevelopment of quays into a new mixed-use central business district targeting WoE growth sectors – high- tech, creative & digital and professional business services. The Quays will provide much needed modern office accommodation to support Bath’s flourishing high-value business sectors, and will be the keystone in realising the delivery of the Riverside EZ. Crucially the bridge will enable pedestrian and cycle flow between residential areas to the south of the river and key employment sites in support of this economic growth. Collectively the Quays represent the largest development opportunity within the city since the Southgate shopping centre and the largest office scheme ever within Bath. The Bath Quays North and South projects and will support those projects in delivering a new central business district for the city which will deliver circa 2,800 jobs (gross) on site and deliver direct GVA uplift approaching £160m. The wider strategic objectives are based upon the need to support job growth whilst unlocking capacity on the highway and public transport networks by encouraging more sustainable commuting in order to enable this growth; as well as improving citizen health and wellbeing. A planning application for the bridge has been submitted and was validated on 07/11/2016. The scheme is estimated to cost £4.1 Million, of which the Council are applying for £425,000 of LGF funding to aid delivery. Project construction is forecast to support 27 construction 2 Doc v.1 Last updated May2016 Submission date:30/11/16 Submitted by: B&NES Approved: jobs. The proposal will help to deliver the aims established in the WoE 2030 vision and the Council’s Core strategy aims. B&NES contact: David Reynolds (Principle Project Manager) Jack Fennell (Assistant Development Officer – Community Regeneration) E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Tel: 01225 477768 01225 396881 Strategic Case 1.0 Promoter and Delivery Arrangements B&NES is responsible for delivering Bath Quays Bridge. B&NES submitted a planning application relating to the bridge, which was validated on 07/11/2016. The bridge shall become a Highways asset and be vested in the name of the Highways Authority, who shall oversee the maintenance and operation of the bridge. Procurement of all contractors needed for delivery (design, construction and associated works) of the bridge will be overseen by B&NES and will comply with necessary legislation and guidance. B&NES has a dedicated Project Manager function to ensure the delivery of Quays Bridge. The project manager will co-ordinate all works and programme. 2.0 Project Description The project will deliver substantial connectivity improvements to this part of the city, providing an additional non-vehicular crossing point between Midland and Churchill Bridge. It will form a vital piece of highways infrastructure and strategic route directly linking the large residential areas to the south of the river, including Oldfield Park and Bear Flat to key employment sites in the north. Delivery will realise two important components of the Council’s long-term Core Strategy - opening up the heart of the city via a safer and more sustainable route for Bath residents. Moving forward, the bridge will also serve an important function in forming an intrinsic physical linkage between the two prime regeneration sites of Quays North and South, and facilitating access and movement to these new key employment sites. Synergy will also exist with the Bath Riverside Project by further enhancing the connectivity of Bath to its river through the Quays Waterside project – a remodelling of the north bank as part of flood mitigation measures into a terraced riverside public park (RIF funded under separate business case). The unique and stylish bridge will be a focal point for the Quays development as well as in redefining this area as a central business location within the Riverside EZ. 3 Doc v.1 Last updated May2016 Submission date:30/11/16 Submitted by: B&NES Approved: Crucially the Quays will deliver a critical mass of new Grade A office accommodation, injecting much needed office stock to the city. Collectively, the Quays projects will deliver circa 2,800 jobs (gross) on site and deliver direct GVA uplift approaching £160m. The Quays Bridge will therefore become a key piece of public infrastructure which will assist in in delivering the creation of Bath’s new business district and in securing long-term economic growth to the benefit of Bath and the wider West of England. The Site of the proposed bridge consists of three principle land elements: • the River Avon; • the north bank of the river; including part of the newly landscaped riverbank and the Bath Quays North site, and; • the south river bank; including the existing arches (BMT land); the existing river wall (including the jetty) and Buildings 7 & 8 (Bath Quays South site). Hereafter they will be referred to as: the north bank, the south bank and the river or river corridor. The design team (Marc Mimram/Webb Yates Engineers) and their concept design for the bridge were selected via an international design competition, commissioned by B&NES in 2015. The team are appointed under an NEC3 Professional Services Contract to deliver a fully-detailed design of the bridge, thereby securing planning consent for the proposals and technical approval from the Highway Authority. CH2M Hill has been appointed by the Council as design checker. Bridge project comprises of four key elements: • demolition of existing buildings and structures; • provision of new bridge crossing of the river Avon for pedestrian and cycle use; • new public realm on the North and South river banks, and links to the existing highway network, and; • provision of a new river wall to both support the south end of the bridge and act as a flood defence. The bridge takes the form of a dual-span steel superstructure supported by a combination of piled reinforced concrete, and sheetpiled substructures. The deck comprises a shared pedestrian and cycle surface, with no segregation between users, to be in keeping with the general design approach of cycle paths on either side and generally within Bath. The proposed bridge will have a deck length of 60m with a usable width between handrails of 4.3m, which exceeds the preferred minimum set by Sustrans. The deck will be surfaced in natural stone and ambient lighting incorporated in the handrails. At the time of writing the design has been taken to RIBA Stage 3 and submitted for planning consent. Technical approval of the design proposals by the highway Authority is ongoing. 4 Doc v.1 Last updated May2016 Submission date:30/11/16 Submitted by: B&NES Approved: Please refer to the Planning Application reference on B&NES planning portal for more detail of the proposals: (16/05349/REG13). Specifically, it is envisaged funding for the 16/17 financial year will be used to enable pre- delivery preparatory works and surveying for bridge design. The bridge completion and associated public realm works on the south landing will be phased to coincide with delivery of the office developments in 2018. Various studies have been undertaken to support the planning application for the bridge. These include Heritage, archaeological, ecological and transport assessments, all of which can be viewed on the B&NES planning portal. The Transport Assessment confirms the bridge will have the capacity to carry between around 330-690 pedestrians per hour and between 100-310 cyclists per hour, or between 640-790 pedestrians and cycle combined depending on the proportion of the two user groups. This is viewed to be sufficient capacity considering envisaged future use of the bridge.

  • DEVONSIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE
    The following article presents the historical notes produced by Mrs Connie Smith, a long time resident of Devonshire Buildings, who died in 2013. She writes about Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place, plus a number of other places that bear the name Devonshire. The notes have been edited only to the extent of format and the occasional spelling error. DEVONSHIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE, in Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish, plus seven other constructions with the name of Devonshire. Since the appearance of Devonshire Place and Devonshire Buildings at the top of Bear F1at, Lyncombe, several other properties have also acquired the Devonshire appendage. These are:- Devonshire Cottage, Devonshire House, Devonshire Terrace, and Place, Devonshire Lodge, Devonshire Arms public house, and Devonshire Tunnel of the extinct Somerset & Dorset Rlwy. Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place were the first to be built and to understand how they came on to the suburban scene a little background is helpful, as follows:- During the last quarter of the l8th century and the beginning of the 19th a new road was pushed through Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish by the Bath Turnpike Trust. Built in two sections, which accounts for the dual names of Wells Road and Wellsway, today it is the A367 which stretches from Bath to the south and west, via. Radstock. The first section near to the city came circa 1772 and was called Wells Road. It successfully overcame the very steep incline up Beechen Cliff via the old Holloway by cutting am easier route for vehicles up the slope of Beechen Cliff from the elderly bridge of St.

I would like to comment on the draft proposals for new wards in the City of Bath. I strongly object to the proposed changes for the Widcombe ward area. The proposals clearly do not meet the stated aims of the LGBC, other than In respect of an arbitrary measure of voter equallty. The draft proposals would spllt the strong, vibrant and connected community of Wldcombe across five wards tor local councll representation. This would undermine communications and community engagement on local Issues, eroding the efficient working of our local government, and reducing community cohesion. Lyncombe Hill is very much part of Widcombe yet these proposals move us to another, disconnected, ward. We have strong social, transport and amenity links to Widcombe and this is our community. We believe that we should be included in an extended Wldcombe &. Lyncombe ward. We belleve wards can be designed to stlll achieve the equallty of voters objective whilst better reflecting our local community. I belleve the ward proposals must be reconsidered to better reflect our strong local community and achieve consistency of local representation with predomlnately two councillor wards {for example by combining Widcombe &. Lyncombe). I am aware that the Widcombe Association has proposed an alternative way to achieve the stated aims for ward design, including electoral equality, and strongly commend these proposals to you.

  • Barrack(S) Farm, Wellsway, Bath: the Estate and Its Holders
    27 BARRACK(S) FARM, WELLSWAY, BATH: THE ESTATE AND ITS HOLDERS A. J. Keevil Barrack(s) Farm provides a rare and interesting example of a medieval freehold tenement, held of an important ecclesiastical establishment (Bath Abbey) by knight service, which survived as a farm into the third quarter of the twentieth century. It lay some 11/2 miles south of the River Avon and the historic city of Bath, in a well-watered pastoral valley that climbs up to the oolitic limestone plateau of Odd Down. Here, above 500 feet, there was good arable land. The earliest map to show this area is Thomas Thorpe's Survey of a Five-mile radius of the city of Bath, 1742·, which clearly delineates the farm complex. Labelled 'Barracks', it consisted of two farm­ houses, a large walled barton, and a barn (fig.1), and lay almost mid-way between the former Wells Road (now Bloomfield Road) and Entry Hill, roads which converged at the Bear Flat before descending through Holloway into the city of Bath. When the present Wellsway was constructed as the new Turnpike Road to Wells in the first decade of the nineteenth century, 1. Location of 'Barracks' estate on Thorpe's map of the Bath area of 1742.
