RAD Masterplan Brief
Linking Physical and Social Regeneration Benefits
When looking into more detail, this sub theme is the most appropriate when attempting to carry out our vision. Master-planning with a social focus would allow for a much more beneficial urban area for all individuals to be formed
Social Infrastructure and Community Uses
- Community centre with open gardens, information point, shop (branded products), cafe. Profits to be raised for community group.
- Community Land Trust inclusion
- Hub for events hosting, span out into space in front of the building
- Center of the site, and located next to main access point (foot and rail connections)
- Events could be held here currently, to ensure meanwhile use happens immediately
Creation of an 'heritage trail'
- Signed walking and cycling route through the site
- Provides a link between listed buildings at either end of the site (compressor house west through the site to pumping house east)
- Giving info on heritage and links the built environment to gained knowledge for individuals
- Improving public open space realm links with design proposals and concepts
