A five Hectare out-of-town leisure development on a brown field site, which is situated on the outskirts of Bristol. The site includes a 1000 space car park and contemporary style new buildings comprising a multiplex cinema, bingo hall, bowling alley, Travel Inn, themed diners and associated infrastructure on part of a former World War 2 airfield.
The Landscape Practice contributed conceptual site masterplanning and prepared detailed landscape and earthworks proposals to negotiate a planning approval and provided on site implementation administration. Major earthworks around the perimeter of the site are formed from site overburden and designed to create indigenous wildlife areas. These form a contrasting soft edge to the formal aspects of the site core. The site has over 300 semi-mature trees mainly laid in simple avenues to visually diffuse the large areas of hard surface parking and also filter and direct pedestrians to and from cars to the main building entrances. |
