CHARACTER AREA - Southern Gateway


generous public open space incorporating wetland ponds and managed flooding, to create an area of rich biodiversity at the southern gateway

 This will provide: 


•  A combination of wetland ponds and managed surface water flooding creates an area of rich biodiversity at the highly visible southern gateway to the site

•  Active travel routes flank the connection to the bypass signalling importance of these modes of travel 

•  Safer pedestrian and cycle crossing of the bypass giving good access to longer recreation routes in surrounding landscape

•  Landmark buildings set back from the roadway demonstrates high design values of the project

•  Feature skyline trees visible at the northern end of the site will provide landmarks for orientation

•  Significantly reduced light level to create 'dark crossing' of new roadway to promote wildlife movements across the site / to the river

•  A managed transition between higher-speed / vehicle dominated bypass and lower-speed active travel priority neighbourhoods
