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).
