2 Masterplanning 03 Experience & Understanding As a longstanding successful practice, Oxford Architects have significant experience and understanding of the approach required to create a vision or masterplan for a growing business or site development. It is crucial for any business longevity to have a long term plan or vision and this is no different when it comes to site development and strategic masterplanning. Understanding the project s aims is central to the success of any plan and, although specific goals may change, the long term strategy should be flexible enough to adapt to the circumstances of the moment whilst still underpinning the client s or communities long term aims and core values.

4 Masterplanning 07 How is a Masterplan Developed A masterplan cannot be developed until there is a clear brief based on the needs of the site and a clear vision of what should be achieved. The client must have a commitment to the vision and be clear about how this can be delivered. The design team then takes on board the brief and assesses the site and surroundings and takes account of not only the economic, logistic and environmental aspects but also of the regulatory requirements such as planning policies, transport links and utilities. The designers will prepare simple clear 2D and 3D representations to describe how the site, or series of sites, might be developed. This could be either with a project steering group or other stakeholders/community, using plain English to describe the main issues and benefits. The masterplan needs to be realistic and reflect the economic and market realities in order to be successfully delivered. 4.

5 Masterplanning 09 Evaluation & Implementation We work with the client and stakeholders to evaluate the technical issues such as locations of different components within the whole and assess benefits of alternative locations. Are any areas likely to grow? Are there any maintenance issues, negative environmental impact or areas where safety can be improved? In terms of financial assessment, are all the options cost effective? Are some options more attractive to funders than others and can funding be linked to the proposed programme? Once the preferred layout has been agreed with a common vision for the business or communities future, a clear and solid set of recommendations need to be tied to key dates to form an implementation strategy Good masterplans are flexible and have involved the client, the community and other stakeholders from the outset, giving the plan a legitimate base. This in turn increases the chance of the project being successfully implemented. Owen Mumford Pharmaceuticals, Oxfordshire Llanelli Town Centre, Wales Go Ahead Residential Development, Oxford 4.
