1 WELCOME Thanks for visiting Hadley Property Group s exhibition on its initial plans to redevelop land at Bath Road in Totterdown. This exhibition is to inform you about our plans to transform the disused land on the corner of Totterdown Bridge and Bath Road with a proposal for new housing and employment space. You can find out more about our initial ideas for the site on these boards. Members of our project team are on hand to answer any questions. Our plans are still at a very early stage and we would very much like to know what you think. Hadley Property Group is an experienced, residentialled developer and is committed to working closely with local partners and the community to create high-quality, sustainable developments.

THE SITE The site is located on the corner of Totterdown Bridge and Bath Road, along the river. It has two elements.

There was previously a petrol filling station on the land which apart from a temporary hand car wash which now no longer operates, has remained largely vacant since its closure.

We are looking at ways to provide safe access to the riverfront for pedestrians.

2 THE SITE The site is located on the corner of Totterdown Bridge and Bath Road, along the river. It has two elements. One is bare land below ground-level that sits alongside the river (1), and the other section is at road level (2). There was previously a petrol filling station on the land which apart from a temporary hand car wash which now no longer operates, has remained largely vacant since its closure. Totterdown 2 There are a number of existing access points to the site along Bath Road as well as a bus stop that remains in use. We are looking at ways to provide safe access to the riverfront for pedestrians. Bath Road 1 The site is located beside the successful and thriving Paintworks development on Bath Road (3), Totterdown on the edge of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. This area is driving the creation of around 17,000 new jobs in the city over the next 20 years. River Avon The previously neglected land was acquired by Hadley Property Group in 2016, and is greatly in need of regeneration in a way that both energises the site and benefits the local area This area is driving the creation of around 17,000 new jobs in the city over the next 20 years.

3 Wash e INITIAL IDEAS Our aspiration is to create a high-quality development that is sustainable and is sympathetic to the site and local area. Our ambition is to deliver a site that includes: Up to 145 apartments which reflect our aspirations for a high-quality, sustainable development. Space for businesses to locate and grow. Pedestrian links through from Bath Road to the river The diagrams below show the constraints and opportunities we will be taking into consideration as we pull together our plans. The site, however, is ideally located for access with good views of the river and excellent access to cycle and pedestrian routes. We would look to make best use of these in our plans.

4 VISION Our vision for a proposed new development at Bath Road will be guided by the following principles. Below are the eight main principles we will work to in order to inform the next stage of the design process. These are: Creation of up to 145 new homes Providing a safer site Creating riverfront connections Provision of new public space Connecting to an existing community at the Paintworks Creating a mediating space between industry and residential areas Creation of up to 145 New Homes Providing a Safer Site The scheme will allow the creation of up to 145 new homes of varying sizes whilst providing new connections and spaces for the existing communities in the area. The existing site was previouly a petrol filling station. There remanins a concrete deck and undercroft with a 7 metre drop from road level down to river level. The development will improve the safety of the site. Riverfront Connections Wildlife Corridor The scheme will allow people to access the waterfront and improve connections from the site to Temple Meads station. It will also provide enhanced views of the riverside from the development proposed for the site. The design will respect and enhance the existing wildlife corridor. Connected Community A Better Place The scheme would form a new part of the community, providing accessible high-quality public space along the waterfront. The site would become a destination in its own right, forming links with the Paintworks to the east and the surrounding area. Industrial vs. Residential Historical Connection The site sits on the edge between industrial and residential areas, mediating between the two. The proposal will seek to form an architectural dialogue which allows for a transition between the two different characters of the local area, linking these spaces as the Paintworks has. The scheme would draw on the cultural heritage of the site, which has a history of being a boat yard. Our ambition is to develop designs that would draw on this heritage.

The suggested approach for the site is mixed-use development incorporating housing and business uses. The site is covered by site allocation policies BSA1210, BCS8 and BCS5.

5 ACCESS & POLICY The site is located within the Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone within the Avon Riverside area. It is accessible, being close to the city centre and Temple Meads and therefore considered suitable for development. The suggested approach for the site is mixed-use development incorporating housing and business uses. The site is covered by site allocation policies BSA1210, BCS8 and BCS5. The development considerations set out in the adopted 2014 plan are: Be informed by a site-specific flood risk assessment Address noise and pollution issues from nearby uses and Bath Road Seek to retain a green infrastructure link east to west adjacent the river Be informed by ecological survey of the site Protect, and if possible, enhance the adjacent River Avon and its corridor Be informed by investigation of land stability TOT TER DOWN BRI DGE The Bristol Temple Quarter Spatial Framework, although non statutory, outlines indicative development of the site with a range of development blocks.

SUSTAINABILITY Our ambition is to deliver a development in Bath Road that draws on our track record of raising the bar for environmentally sustainable development.

6 SUSTAINABILITY Our ambition is to deliver a development in Bath Road that draws on our track record of raising the bar for environmentally sustainable development. Although these are early days for this development, we will take a sustainable approach to our plans for the site. We have successfully done this in a number of our schemes, which includes the award-winning Greenwich Square in south east London. Our approach also extends to how our residents travel. Although we would provide some parking spaces for cars, we strongly believe in creating schemes that encourage a long-term, sustainable approach to living. Bath Road is very well connected to the city by both public transport and cycle networks, and our approach would be to encourage residents and workers to use these transport links. Early assessments have been carried out on the site and indicate that there are no protected species on the site, including bats and badgers. Nor are there any potential foraging or commuting habitats on the site itself.

BENEFITS We want to transform this neglected section of Bath Road by creating a stylish, modern development that would be in keeping with Bath Road and the Enterprise Zone.

7 BENEFITS We want to transform this neglected section of Bath Road by creating a stylish, modern development that would be in keeping with Bath Road and the Enterprise Zone. As part of this, we would look to: Include affordable housing and help meet the need for more housing in the area Create space for local businesses Improve links through the site to the city and surrounding area Make the riverside accessible to the community Create a high quality public realm We believe in creating schemes that encourage a long term sustainable approach to living.
