CONTExT ASSESSMENTIN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT A RESPONSIVE MASTERPLAN IS CREATED, A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE CONTExT WITHIN WHICH THE SITE SITS HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN. THE RESULTS OF THIS ASSESSMENT ARE SET OUT IN THIS SECTION.

TopographyThe plan on the opposite page shows the topography of the site and its context.

It shows how the site is on the lower slopes of the river valley. Most of the site being between 20 and 40 AOD.

The plan demonstrates how much of the existing development in the area (in Pill, Easton-in-Gordano and Ham Green as

well as on the northern side of the river) has been at similar topographic levels to the site. It is also possible to see how existing development has responded to the topography with roads following the contours.

It is important that any development of the site should respond to and reflect these existing characteristics.

VISUAL ASSESSMENTTHE SITE IS IN A LOCATION THAT IS WELL CONTAINED By TOPOGRAPHy AND VEGETATION AND VIEWS OF THE SITE ARE THEREFORE LIMITED TO LOCALISED NEAR AND MIDDLE DISTANCE VIEWS.

The following visual assessment looks at the eastern and western areas of the site separately.

Western AreaViews of the entire Site from the west are curtailed by intervening built form.

Views from the south are limited to partial and open near distance views from the A369, with views of the western part of the Site obtained across an open agricultural landscape with a noticeable fall in topography towards the Markham Brook. (see photographs 1 -3)

HISTORIC CONTExTTHE PLAN OF THE SITE IN 1903 ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE SHOWS HOW THE SOUTH EASTERN PART OF THE SITE ORIGINALLy FORMED PART OF THE PARKLAND SETTING FOR LEIGH COURT. AT THIS TIME PILL WAS A SMALL SETTLEMENT FOCUSSED ON THE RAILWAy STATION COMPRISING A MIxTURE OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES.

The settlement of Pill dates form the 1500s and its existence is due to its strategic location on the river Avon. Historically, boatmen based in Pill would pilot ships into Bristol harbour. Easton in Gordano has a long history dating back to at least 1085.

Both villages remained relatively small until the 1960s when suburban residential development led to their expansion and coalescence.

The railway line from Bristol Temple Meads to Portishead was built in the 1860s and passed right through Pill, many houses were demolished to make way for the line.

Leigh Manor originally dates from before 1100 but was re-built as Leigh Court in 1811. Humphry Repton prepared a ‘Red Book’ setting out plans for the landscape of the estate in 1814. It was opened as a mental hospital in 1917 and was in various similar uses until 1985 when it was turned into a school and then office use. From the 1950s various parcels of the estate were sold and in 1988 the estate was split into several ownerships. The

area to the north of Leigh Court, within the site forms part of an ‘Historic Park’ designation. It appears that this area, which is not in agricultural use was cleared at some point in history to create easily managed fields.

Relevance to ProposalsThe history of the site and the immediate context is relevant to the proposals in the following ways:

The site in 1903. Pill is a small contained

mixed-use settlement focussed on the

train station, yet to be extended to the

south. Specimen trees and woodland

groups are visible in the park to the

north of Leigh Court, within the site.

TRANSPORT AND MOVEMENTTHE SITE IS IN A LOCATION THAT BENEFITS FROM GOOD ExISTING TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS By BUS, CyCLE AND POTENTIALLy RAIL. A SUMMARy OF THESE ExISTING CONNECTIONS IS SET OUT OVER THE FOLLOWING PAGES.

Bus Services and Connectivity Existing bus services connect Portishead with Bristol, via Pill. Two of the services pass through Pill village and one remains on the A369.

Journey times from Pill are approximately 20 minutes both to central Bristol to the north east and Portishead to the west.

During the day Monday to Saturday three buses an hour operate in each direction past Pill. In the evening and on Sunday an hourly bus service is provided.

Proposals are in place to reopen the Portishead to Aston line for public use, but North Somerset Council has recently been unsuccessful with a bid for £43.3m to the Regional Growth Fund round 2 to assist with the project, and is looking for alternative funds. Development at Chapel Pill could help fund this objective.

A number of options for the line have been put forward. The do-minimum option would be to reopen the line with services stopping at Portishead and Bristol Temple Meads only. A further option allows for the reopening of the Pill and Ashton Gate train stations. The new stations would have capacity for four car trains to stop.

An hourly service is proposed. To enable a half hourly service additional infrastructure is required as it is not possible to fit two trains per hour on the line as the majority is single line. The journey time would be around 20 minutes from Portishead to Bristol.

For the do-minimum option with only a station at Portishead 622,000 passengers are forecast annually. With the addition of stations at Pill and Ashton Gate a demand of 860,000 passengers are predicted annually, 144,000 from Pill and 96,000 from Aston Gate. This also assumes a passenger demand of around 250 passengers in the morning peak.

Pedestrian and Cycle Route Connectivity Pedestrian routes are provided from the existing residential areas in Pill to the village centre. A number of public footpaths are provided across the western site with connections to the existing footways through the residential areas.

Walking offers the greatest potential to reduce car journeys under 2km and cycling for journeys below 5km. Existing and proposed local facilities would be within 2km of the site enabling residents to walk to shops, education, and services. Portishead and Avonmouth are also

within 5km of the site which would enable residents to cycle to work in these locations.

National Cycle Network Route 41 runs along the northern boundary of the site along the south of the River Avon. This route is a traffic free cycle route between Bristol and Pill. The cycle route connects to the cycleway over the M5 Avonmouth Bridge via local minor roads thus linking Shirehampton and Pill. Signed on and off-road cycle routes are also provided from Pill to Portishead.

Regional Cycle Network Route 10 continues south from Pill on local roads and through Portbury to Clevedon and beyond. North the route continues along the route of the NCNR 41 across the Avonmouth Bridge.

Reopening of the Portishead Train Line A train line between Royal Portbury Docks and Ashton runs along the northern boundary of the site. This line is currently only used for freight trains serving the docks.

Historically the train line included intermediate stations at Pill and Ashton Gate and continued west to Portishead. The tracks between Pill and Portishead have been removed however the land has not been reused. The previous station at Pill is to the north of the village centre.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE SITE IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANy SENSITIVE LANDSCAPE DESIGNATIONS SUCH AS AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTy, AREA OF GREAT LANDSCAPE VALUE OR NATIONAL PARK.

NationalAt the national scale, the Site straddles the border between JCA 106: Severn and Avon Vales to the west and JCA 118: Bristol-Avon Valleys to the east. This identifies a transition between the broad open river valley and dispersed settlement associated with villages following the River Severn from the more settled undulating landscape encompassing Bristol which rises towards the Cotswolds in the east and the Mendip Hills to the south.

DistrictAt the district scale, the landscape was assessed within the North Somerset Character Assessment which identifies the entirety of the Site within Character Area J6: Avon Rolling Valley Farmland. This landscape encompasses the settlement of Pill and extends between the 60 metre contour line to the south and the margins of the River Avon to the north.

The landscape strategy for the Avon Rolling Valley Farmland seeks to strengthen the positive landscape features, such as the parkland and belts of woodland, whilst enhancing areas that break the continuity of the landscape, such as the visually intrusive edge of Pill and the impact of the A369. key Landscape Guidelines with relevance to the Site include:

• Consideropportunitiesforgrassland,woodlandandwetlandhabitatcreation,particularlyinareaswhicharemarginalforfarming.

SITETHE WESTERN PART OF THE SITE, WEST OF HAM GREEN HAS A DIFFERENT CHARACTER THAN THE EASTERN PART OF THE SITE.

Character of Western AreaThe western part of the Site is formed of small to medium fields with hedgerows defining field boundaries and is always seen in the context of or is perceived to

be associated with the urban settlement beyond, partly due to the views obtained from the busy A369 and several PROW that cross this part of the Site.

Page 38 Page 39


Character of Eastern AreaThe eastern part of the Site is perceived to be more rural and remote due to the lack of footpaths in this area in addition to the natural visual and physical containment resulting from the topographical variation and the strong tree belt along the disused railway line.

The topography associated with the entire Site rises from the River Avon in the north at approximately 8 metres Above Ordinance Datum (AOD) in the eastern area of the Site accommodating an elevated farm yard in the centre of this portion of the site towards the wooded horizon of Paradise Bottom and Oak Wood. The western area of the Site rises gently from the southern edge of Pill reaching an elevation of approximately 45 metres AOD at its highest point.

LOCAL CHARACTERIT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CHARACTER OF THE DEVELOPMENT RESPONDS APPROPRIATELy TO THE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER OF BRISTOL AND ITS SUBURBS AND PROVIDES A DISTINCT AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN RESPONSE THAT CREATES A STRONG CHARACTER AND SENSE OF PLACE.

In order to achieve the above objective, five character areas have been selected for study. They have been chosen for evidence of distinct character features which are informed by the following elements:

• Urbanform

• Built/plotform

• Carparking

• OpenSpaces

• Detailsandmaterials

Analysis of these elements and how they have contributed to creating a strong sense of character for the Bristol as a whole will provide important contextual references to inform the proposals. The character areas are listed below and identified on the page opposite:
