Location Plan

Cars parked on the shared surface bays on opposite side.

Proceed with Caution! - Inevitable debate regarding presence of cars on streets of scheme that proposes new rurality.

Green Light! - Despite simplicity of solution, choice of materials and detailed design are exceptionally high. Raised markers and semi-mature trees between bays aid parking judgement and clarify division of spaces, whilst length of bays breaks up parking impact. Used to supplement allocated parking elsewhere, in overflow area to scheme's commercial quarter.

Unallocated uncontrolled bays in the squares are on a first come first serve basis.

Green Light! - Unallocated parking provides efficient use of space, and space can be used for purposes other than parking. Exceptionally high quality materials, and spaces are enclosed by substantial landmark buildings which reduce the impact of parking.

There are several accesses to rear court, an issue for security.

Red Light! - Direct access from court to homes discourages use of front doors and makes street inactive.

Proceed with Caution! - Limited surveillance to car parking court from ground floor units. Relatively large size and permeability of courts undermine defensible space and create Secure By Design issues.

Green Light! - Good proportions, materials and detailing to court,with convenient access to home from garage.

Large house offers better surveillance of rear court.

Red Light! - Direct access from court to homes discourages use of front doors and makes street inactive.

Proceed with Caution! - Second pedestrian access to rear court maybe a Secure by Design issue.

Green Light! - Good proportions, materials and detailing to court, with convenient access to home from garage. Small scale of court create sense of ownership. Single vehicular access creates sense of defensible space
