Design & Implementation Project Of Chapel Pill, A New Sustainable Settlement; Its Infrastructure Needs And Delivery (Case Study Sample)

DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT OF CHAPEL PILL, A NEW SUSTAINABLE SETTLEMENT; ITS INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DERIVERY.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the design is to demonstrate how the development of this area can be provided for a sustainable energy extension to Bristol which would increase a wide range of benefits for both the modern community and the existing residents Bristol city.
INTRODUCTION.
Energy is an important aspect of all our lives. We use energy, such as electricity and gas, to heat our homes as well as cook our food. Furthermore, the current energy system in Bristol is not working in good order for the civilians in the city. Bristol Energy Network is an umbrella organization formed by individuals and community groups interested on energy in Bristol and the surrounding markets.
Ben, a single individual in the city has over thirty-member groups working towards a fair energy system. They are involved in many energy projects, including assisting people struggling to pay their energy bills, advising people on how to decrease their energy use and raising some money for and installing community-owned renewable energy projects (installing solar panels on community buildings). This facilitates the need to indulge in energy sector as a infrastructure development aspect.
METHODOLOGY
PLANNING POLICIES
The development plan in Bristol city complies of the RS, Joint Structure Plan for the former Avon Area and Replacement North Somerset Local Plan – June 2005. The upcoming Core Strategy has advanced to an upper stage. The Core Strategy Examination is always scheduled at November every year. The release Draft of the Core Strategy is therefore a material consideration and is considered below.
The main Strategic system once adopted sets out future strategic objectives and policies for conservation and development in Northern part of the Bristol city.
National Guidance
The below mentioned planning policies and guidance are relevant in the design implementation: PPS3:Housing
PPS4:Planning for Economic Growth
PPG13: Transport contains the Governments advice in transport and landusePlan Applicable regulations within the Structure Plan includes
* Policy3 – Sustainable development.
* Policy21 – Employment.
* Policy33 – Housing requirement.

DISCUSSION
GENERAL STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY OF THE BRISTOL CITY
Generally, on a great perspective Bristol city is strategically well set to provide a room for higher quality and integrated sustainable number of infrastructures. It is well illustrated in the above map/plan by showing the internal connections within the city.
Urban Context is located 5 Km from Bristol market and in close proximity to the existing built-up area to the north of the River i.e. the site has a good context. The existing scattered settlements of Pill and Ham Green are immediately opposite to the site. There is great opportunity to connect directly to the residential areas within the settlements to create a balanced, mixed-use sustainable community. Sustainable road Connections Strategically, the site offers a real opportunity to provide convenient and direct to Bristol City Centre.
Railway A inter link between North Council to the Regional Growth Fund re-open the Portishead to Ashton line for public access was unsuccessful and other sources of funding will need to be generated. Growth at Chapel Pill could fund the above objective. Some varied opinions include the re-opening of the station at Pill, which would minimize walking time at a viable time to reach the center of town.
The presence of a passenger rail service into Bristol city taking less time provides a real, cost-effective alternative to using the buses and this could provide the basis for a good sustainable form of development. A369 is a bus route. The site is immediately adjacent to it, one of the main strategic vehicle routes into Bristol from the east. Many of the traffic vehicles using this route originates in Portishead (nearly 10Km to the west of the site) and from the M5 Motorway.
There is great chance of providing new Park and Ride facility at the connection on M5 and A369 as illustrated on the map opposite minimizes some of the long-distance commuter traffic. This could free up the A369 for more efficient passenger transport movements. The available bus travel services could be diverted through the new system to provide for efficient link to Bristol.
The major ROUTE 33 runs through the site and offers an eye-catching feature, direct and vehicle-free route into Bristol market. A journey by cyclin form the site to the center of Bristol uses less than 40 minutes making bicycles to work in Bristol a real alternative for new residents of the area.
The proposed rapid improvement changes on development would offer an opportunity to create proper management in the alignment and design of the route to further encourage its usefulness. The location is immediately opposite to Leigh Woods, which together with Ashton Court provide a very important green recreational resource for Bristol civilians. The proposed development provides an opportunity to extend this corridor by creating new parkland in the area that historically housed the setting of Leigh Court House.
