Brent Cross South Plot 12 - Design Statement Maccreanor Lavington 85 8.6. Parameter envelope Parameter Plan 007C (shown overleaf) sets maximum building and frontage heights relave to the finished ground floor levels. Maximum heights are inclusive of plant levels. As discussed above (secon 8.3), Parameter Plan 002 (transport infrastructure) shows the locaon of primary, secondary and terary routes through the masterplan area. These routes benefit from limits of deviaon. As described in the RDSF, if the locaon of the routes varies within the permied limits of deviaon idenfied on Parameter Plan 002 and 003, the configuraon of the building zones will change. The adjacent image shows the parameter envelope with the adjusted High Street alignment. The maximum height parameter is set at 45m for the north side of Plot 12, and drops to 33m to the south. The High Street and Claremont Park Road are key frontages. The maximum frontage height on the High Street is 33m (taken from finished floor level (FFL)of the ground floor). The maximum frontage height on Claremont Park Road is 27m (taken from FFL of the ground floor). The S73 Permission allows 30% of the key frontages of a plot to exceed the maximum frontage height, as long as they do not exceed the maximum building zone heights (see secon 8.5, extracted from the RDAS (secon A2.4.3, Height and Massing Parameters)). The proposed scheme for Plot 12 shows the tallest wing of the north building locally exceeding the maximum frontage height by less than 30%, but within the maximum building zone height, in accordance with the S73 Permission. The Claremont Park Road elevaon sits within the maximum frontage height. The proposals are therefore in compliance with the parameter plan envelope (save for the flue, as discussed in the following secon).

9.0. Planning Summary and Compliance

The s73 Permission includes several parameters and principles that aretobetakenintoaccountintheformulationofreservedmatterproposals.ThesearesetoutintheapprovedRevisedDesignGuidelines(RDG),RevisedDesignandAccessStatement(RDAS)andtheRevisedDevelopmentSpecificationandFramework(RDSF).Thesedocumentshavebeencarefullyconsidered,inadditiontowider,moregeneral,planningpolicyandguidance.

The main over-arching principles contained in the RDAS and RDSF are set outbelow,followedbymoredetailedprinciplescontainedintheRDG.

DAS and DSFFromareviewofthesedocuments,theprinciplestobefollowedinrelationtoPlot12are,asfollows:

• “Anintegrated,diverse,newtowncentre”with“mixeduseplots”.

• “Highdensitytowncentre”anda“clearurbanstructure.”

• “ReplacementofhousingontheWhitefieldResidentialEstate”and“reclaimingalostpieceofBarnet”.

• Suitablescaleandshape.

• “Legibleandseamlesstransitionbetweensuburbanandurban”.

• Considering“the‘courtyardblock’”asan“exemplaryurbanform”.

• A“strongurbancontextthatformsthepublicrealmandclearlydelineatesbetweenpublicandprivatespace”

• Buildingsthatare“durable,attractiveandvisuallyharmonious”.

• “Amasonryarchitectureshouldprevail”(inlowandmediumrise),whichis“solid,ratherthanlightweight”.

Design Guidelines The main principles from the RDG that have informed the Plot 12 design aresetoutbelow.

• Atlowerlevelsbuilding’swillhave“frontdoorstolowerfloormaisonettesaswellasresidentialcoresforflatsabove”.

• “Play,socialisingandpedestrianmovement”istheprioritywithin“clustersofresidentialbuildings”.

• Elevationtypologyguidelinespromote“adialoguebetweenbuildingandpublicrealm”:relatestothehierarchyofstreetsandspaces.

Incompliancewiththekeyprinciplessummarisedabove,theproposalsforPlot12areforprimarilyresidentialbuildingsatanurbandensity,withmixedusesatgroundlevel,tocreatethebeginningsofanintegrated,vibrantanddiversetowncentre.Plot12willprovidereplacementhomesforresidentsoftheWhitefieldEstateandaspartofBXSwillstarttoreclaim a ‘lost’ piece of Barnet, currently rather isolated by surrounding strategicinfrastructure.Theproposalsseektomediatebetweentheexistinglowrisehousingtothesouthandtheconsentedhighdensitytowncentre.

Theproposalsincludecourtyardtypologiestogivestrongdefinitiontothestreetsandcreatebothpublicandprivatespaces.ScaleandmassingisassessedinSection8.0,whichdemonstratescompliancewithparameters.Theproposalsareforprincipallybrickbuildings,withstreetsactivatedbyfrontdoors.Thesurroundingtertiarystreetsprioritisepedestriansandgreenspacesprioritiseplayandsocialising.

InsectionB4-K2,theDesignGuidelinescallforasetbackofaminimumof1.5mabove6floorsfortheHighStreet,ClaremontParkRoadandtheAccessRoadsinMarketQuarter.Whilstwehaveintroducedsetbackstotheseelevations,theyvaryinheighttoreflectthehierarchyofstreets(seesection3.1.2).Thesesetbacksoccuronthe7thand8thfloorsandcomplywiththefrontageheightsdefinedintheParameterPlans.

InsectionB4-K4,theDesignGuidelinessetoutthatthegroundfloorlevelforhousingshouldbeaminimumof0.8maboveexternalground.OnPlot12N,thereareonlytworesidentialunitsatgroundfloor,helpingtoactivatethefrontagealongthepocketpark.Althoughtheseunitsarenotelevatedabovegroundlevel,theybenefitfromgenerousplantingsettingthembackfromthepublicspace,andaresplitovertwolevels,allowingallbedroomstobeonthefirstfloor.

On Plot 12S, the ground level is raised above the car park by an average of1m.However,asthegroundlevelsurroundingthebuildingvaries,thegroundfloorlevelvariesfrom1.2mto0.7atitslowestpoint.

InsectionB4-M3,theDesignGuidelinesprescribetheuseofrecessedloggiasalongtheHighStreetfrontage.Asthenorth-westorientationofthiselevationisnotfavourableforgooddaylighting,theseloggiaswherereplacedbysemi-recessedbalconiesthatwillallowmorelightintothedwellingsandhavealimitedprojection.

SectionB4-N2statesthatallplantventilationshouldbeatrooflevel.TheproposalsforPlot12generallyachievethis,however,thesubstationlocated along the access route to the east of Plot 12N has a limited numberofventstothestreettocomplywithUKPNrequirements.Additionally,theairintakeforthecarparkventilationmustoccuratlowlevel.Allventsareoflimitedsizeanddesignedtointegratediscreetlywithinthecompositionofthefacades.

SectionB4-QoftheDesignGuidelinessetsoutthecharacterofthedifferentelevationtypologies.Inthissection,theHighStreetisexpectedtohaveaminimumofonefrontdoorperverticalarticulation.However,itwasfeltthatacontinuouslengthofretailfrontagewouldprovidesufficientanimationtothestreet,whilsttheresidentialentranceswouldhelpactivatethepocketparktotherearofthebuilding.ThisstrategyalsohelpstoincreasetheresidentialfeeloftheheartofPlot12.

Overall,weconsiderthatthedesignofPlot12hasbeeninformedbyandisconsistentwiththeprinciplesandparameterssetoutinthes73Permission.Thedesignishighqualityandin-keepingwiththeapproachtoarticulation,materials,elevations,amenity,etcasprescribedinthevariouscontroldocuments(theRDAS,RDG,RDSF).
