In schemes on difficult sites has become contrast to some other urban design a hallmark of the practice. Our mix practices, we are frequently involved of in-house site investigation and in subsequent implementation and design skills enables us to provide management. This provides a practical a comprehensive and co-ordinated understanding of development and masterplanning service. Typical what makes successful places. projects range from smaller schemes of 50 dwellings to sustainable urban We work on a large number of extensions within excess of 5,000 schemes throughout the UK, both as new homes. We also masterplan multi promotions through the local plan modal distribution sites, employment process, and planning applications. parks and leisure development. We are able to offer a flexible and tailored approach to the delivery of our services to ensure that they offer value for money, are efficiently delivered and completed to agreed timescales and deadlines.

The following pages illustrate a range of recent projects.

Bridgwater, Somerset Bridgwater, Somerset FPCR are the environmental and masterplanning consultants, for a major 143 hectare mixed use development on the northern edge of Bridgwater.

A complex and ecologically sensitive site, consent has been granted for 2,000 new homes, a Primary School, and Local Centre. The proposal also includes 30 hectares of employment use, to include a new Regional Distribution Centre for Wm Morrisons Supermarket plc.

The practice prepared and coordinated the Environmental Impact Assessment, the Masterplan, the Design & Access Statement, and the Green Infrastructure Biodiversity Strategy. FPCR liaised with Sedgemoor District Council on the “Vision for Bridgwater”, as well as working closely both with the Council and Natural during the application process. The practice provided landscape services to include a LVIA as part of the Morrison Regional Distribution Centre. This is now operational and, in accordance with the aspirations of the , forms a distinctive landmark building alongside the M5 corridor.

Key assets of the site such as the “Willow Man” sculpture informed the masterplanning approach

Client: Hallam Land Management Location: Somerset Project Details: 143Ha 2,000 new homes Primary School Local Centre Wm Morrisons Supermarket West Of Loughborough FPCR are the lead designers for this sustainable Urban Development (SUE) to the west of Loughborough (WOL).

FPCR also provided specialist EIA studies including landscape and visual, ecology and nature conservation, and arboricultural studies.

Our approach has been to work closely with the Clients Project team as well as Charnwood Borough Council’s officers and key stakeholders such as Heritage England, Natural England, the Environment Agency, County Council Highways and Highways England to ensure that the most sustainable WOL Masterplan has evolved, driven iteratively by a comprehensive base line analysis of all the environmental and heritage assets across the site and its setting. The existing network of landscape and biodiversity features are retained and enhanced to form an attractive setting for 3,200 homes, new schools, local centre and a 14 hectare business park. The historic Garendon Park will be restored to become a gateway public open space for the local community.

FPCRs Masterplan is supported by a comprehensive Design and Access Statement (DAS) and Green Infrastructure Biodiversity Management Plan (GIBMP). The SUE gained planning consent in 2015 and we are currently assisting with Reserved Matters Applications.

Illustrative Aerial Perspective New Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire A significant urban extension of 4,250 new homes together with a secondary and two primary schools, a district centre, two local centres and a gateway employment area as well as a further strategic employment site.

Around half of the 400 hectare site dedicated as green space taking the form of extensive new parklands, encompassing the Lubbesthorpe Deserted Medieval Village (a Scheduled Monument) and Lubbesthorpe Brook, as well as new informal and formal public open space. New road infrastructure includes two new bridges crossing both the M1 and M69 motorways to connect the development with Leicester to the east of the M1 and to provide a link between the new housing and the strategic employment site located south of the M69.

FPCR have provided landscape, ecology and arboricultural services and co-ordinated the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) work. The Practice also produced the Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity Framework and Management Plan and the Arboricultural Assessment, along with the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Ecological Assessment and Waste Assessment for the Environmental Statement.

Following outline approval, FPCR are preparing the Green Infrastructure package for the first phase of development and detailed landscape and public realm design for Reserved Matters Applications.

Client: Hallam Land Management, Barratt David Wilson, Davidson Developments Location: Leicestershire Project Details: 400Ha 4,250 new homes Secondary and Primary Schools A District Centre and two Local Centres The Bridge, Dartford FPCR provided Landscape, Masterplanning, EIA co-ordination and Ecological surveys and guidance at The Bridge development, a 105 hectare site in Dartford.

The scheme comprises a mixed-use business and innovation park, 1,500 new homes, and enhanced green infrastructure within the Thames Gateway. The site supported common lizard, slow worms, grass snakes and a large population of water vole.

FPCR have been heavily involved with this project since 1999, where the masterplan was sensitively designed to protect and enhance existing habitats. Care was taken to ensure that those species recorded continue to occupy the site in perpetuity. Reptiles within the site were translocated to specifically created reserves to protect them from injury and ensure the population thrives and grows, thus maintaining their Favourable Conservation Status.

Water vole trapping was undertaken over two years and transferred to a breeding facility, where their offspring was used for reintroduction around the UK. Habitats within The Bridge were created for water voles which included ditches and areas around both large lakes; the fourth generation of the original population was reintroduced into The Bridge.

The site now supports a very successful mixed use community, served by an innovative ‘Fast track’ guided bus network linking to Bluewater Retail Park and Dartford Station

East Midlands Gateway SRFI will deliver 6 million sq. ft of rail and road served warehousing; including an intermodal freight terminal, new road and rail infrastructure, a public transport interchange and extensive new landscape and environmental proposals. This Nationally Significant Infrastructure project (NSIP) received its Development Consent Order in 2016 and follows on from other successful SRFI projects undertaken by the practice. The site is located very close to our office at Lockington, being next to Junction 24 of the M1 motorway and north of East Midlands Airport.

Extensive consultation underpinned this NSIP process and the practice was central to this providing visualisations, photomontages, landscape masterplans and site sections. The practice also worked alongside a specialist firm on the production of a detailed visual ‘fly through’ of the scheme, which supported the public consultation and visual assessment work.

Further detailed analysis included the production of computer modelled Zones of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) to inform the design and assessment process.
