Dorset Innovation ParkIntroduction

Key

Fig.1: site Location Plan.

Dorset Innovation Park is centrally located in south Dorset, approximately 17 miles west of Poole. the site sits within a cluster of settlements which include Wool, Dorchester, Weymouth and Wareham. the site is adjacent to Dorset Police Headquarters to the east, farmland to the south and the train line along the northern boundary.

the site has access from the a352 which is a main route connecting the towns of Wareham and Dorchester and has links to national road networks via the a31 which leads to the M27. Wool rail station, which has direct services to London Waterloo and Weymouth, is approximately 1.5 miles away.

a single site accommodating 56 hectares of land, of which 35 hectares is developable, the site’s central location links urban prosperity with rural opportunities.

The Vision

Dorset Innovation ParkIntroduction

Fig.2: east sussex Business Centres - eastbourne - aHr.

Fig.3: east sussex Business Centres - Bexhill - aHr.

Fig.4: tremough Innovation Centre - aHr.

enterprise Zones are part of the government’s long-term economic plan to support business and the creation of jobs by transferring the leadership of growth to local areas. Dorset Innovation Park’s enterprise Zone status went live on 1st april 2017.

Dorset Innovation Park aspires to be an advanced engineering cluster of excellence for the south West, building on strengths in marine, defence and energy.

It is the second largest strategic employment site in the Dorset LeP area and is being recognised as a major focus for the economic regeneration of south Dorset. a vital enhancement for employment, the site is expected to facilitate 2,000 new jobs and attract dozens of new businesses to the area.

the site is secured by a peripheral fence with a 24 hour-manned gate at the Innovation Park’s entrance. there is a secondary secured fence separating two parts of the site. Monterey avenue is the main street providing pedestrian and vehicular access through it, along the avenue there is a services conduct.

Most buildings have been demolished during the past few years but there are existing buildings on site currently in use, they accommodate well established companies and utilities, however, some are vacant at present.

Land Ownerships

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

the site is in public ownership, it is the former Uk atomic energy authority (Ukaea) Civil nuclear research facility and has been subject to a long-term nuclear decontamination programme. Most of the site is owned by Dorset County Council (DCC) with Purbeck District Council owning the central part of the site. the eastern part of the proposed site is owned by nuclear Decommissioning authority (nDa) which is leased by Magnox.

Fig.13: ownerships Plan.

Dorset Innovation Park Boundary

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

Dorset Local enterprise Partnership (LeP), DCC and Purbeck District Council have been successful in achieving enterprise Zone status for the site, which has secured significant public sector investment.

It is the second largest strategic employment site in the Dorset LeP area and is being recognised as a major focus for the economic regeneration of south Dorset.

Businesses who locate to the site will be able to benefit from up to five years of business rate reductions and access to new ultra-fast broadband, role out planned in the future. With retained business rates to be invested in improving the site and local infrastructure over the next 25 years.

Fig.14: Dorset Innovation Park Boundary Plan.

Demolished Building

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

the main phase of demolition occurred in 2016, leaving a number of brown sites across the site. there is little knowledge of foundations depths for each one of the buildings and further investigation will be needed for each plot.

Fig.15: Demolished Buildings Plan.

15

Existing Leases Plan

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

Most currently existing buildings in site have long term leases and house well established businesses involved in marine, advanced engineering and defence. It is important to maintain certain aspects of the site to ensure leases are to be kept.

some of the leases include usage of ancillary land like car parking, small structures and open space, this is the case of atlas elektronik Uk. Chesil House is the only a multi-tenant building which is partially occupied.

Fig.16: existing Leases Plan.

16

Previous Planning Applications

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

a number of planning applications have been submitted for the last few years. Most applications refer to improvements of some of the buildings or ancillary spaces and they are submitted by the tenanted companies.

three relevant planning applications have been approved, the first one (a) on the plan (fig.17) is the application submitted by Purbeck District Council for 20 starter Units, the second (D) on the plan (fig.17) for a new Production building and new access form the northern boundary for atlas elektronik, and the third on (e) on the plan (fig.17) was a new earth energy renewable energy Facility is currently lapsed.

HCa submitted an application (B) on the plan (fig.17), the application for 49 dwellings including a sport pitch has been withdrawn.

Fig.17: Planning applications Plan.

17

Grasslands & Green Structures

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

the site supports a number of habitats including semi-natural woodland, coniferous plantation woodland, mixed woodland, scattered trees, semi-improved neutral and acidic grassland, standing water, running water and ditches, hedgerows and scrub.

Pockets of semi-natural broadleaved woodland occur across the site, within these, some blocks of semi-natural coniferous woodland are found as well as areas of mixed woodland scattered across the site.

the majority of the site comprises of relatively species rich semi-improved neutral grassland which is used as amenity space.

Fig.18: Grasslands & Green structures Plan.

18

Land Designation

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

the site sits north-east of the 10 section of the Winfrith Heath site of special scientific Interest (sssI) therefore half of the site falls within the 400 meters buffer. this area is also part of the Dorset Heathland special Protection areas since 1998, Dorset Heath special area of Conservation (saC) and Dorset Heathland ramsar site.

there is a footpath Public right of Way surrounding the eastern boundary of the site and a bridleway Public right of Way along the western part the northern boundary between the train-line and the site.

Fig.19: Land Designation Plan.

19

Flood Risk

Dorset Innovation ParkAssessment

Key

the river Win runs through the eastern boundary. Parts of the site’s southern area fall on Flood Zone 2, meaning the probability of this area being flooded is between 0.1% and 1% in any year.

Constraints

Key

Dorset Innovation ParkEvaluation

Fig.21: Constraints Plan.

the Constraints Plan compiles relevant information set in the assessment Chapter which is relevant to inform the design process.

Due to the nature of the site and its past, there is an existing network of roads limiting possible development plot sizes; equally there are certain companies with long term leases which are planning to stay on site, these are: atlas elektronik, Weatherford Labs, QinetiQ, optisense and tradebe; those buildings will have to be kept or an agreement to translocate offices will be needed. some of the existing utilities will have to be assessed and further evaluation will be required to determine if those are obsolete. Certain areas with high interest habitats might have to be kept or translocated.

the existing level of security on site creates an opportunity to attract certain business to the Innovation Park, equally part of the site could be non-secured to diversify business. there is a high potential to extend the sidings this could attract specific businesses to the Park.

the current network of roads is in good state and there is an opportunity to improve them adding footpaths/cycleways in some roads to facilitate pedestrian and cycle movement across the site.

Fig.25: Infrastructure Diagram.

there are two Primary routes (Monterrey and ash avenues) running east to west and linking the main green spaces, these avenues are wider and landscaped, water management swales run parallel to them, no direct access to plots should be provided from these avenues, a part from existing plots. secondary routes run mainly north-south and provide access to the majority of plots. these are narrower and less landscaped.

there are opportunities to create a non-secure vehicular access immediately north of atlas elektronik and a secured pedestrian/cycle access at the end of Monterrey avenue.

28

Proposed Buildings

Key

Dorset Innovation Parkmasterplan

Fig.26: Proposed Buildings Diagram.

the proposed buildings will be subject to appropriate design to fulfil future tenant’s needs. It is important to keep frontages close to the roads to improve sense of enclosure. the existing buildings with long term buildings and their adjacent spaces/structures are kept although future companies’ requirements could lead to vacant/obsolete buildings generating future opportunities for redevelopment.

a feasibility study has been undertaken for Chesil House in order to assess and evaluate appropriate future uses of the currently multi-tenanted building.

Security Strategy

Key

Dorset Innovation Parkmasterplan

Fig.29: security strategy Diagram.

the Innovation Park will be mostly a secured site. a new fence is proposed to run parallel to orchid road to separate the Magnox site from the Innovation Park. a new fence could be built along the eastern section of the northern boundary if the non-secure access is needed in the future, this is subject to feasibility of plots 13.

32

Masterplan

Dorset Innovation Parkmasterplan

the Complete Masterplan identifies which plots within the Innovation Park could be developed in the next 25 years to attract new companies to the site. the site currently lacks attractive amenity spaces and facilities, equally there is no clear movement strategy or community sense.

Fig.30: Masterplan - Complete.

Dorset Innovation Parkmasterplan

the central part of the Innovation Park allocates a Central open space serving the rest of the Park. the buildings around this area should reflect the centrality and importance of this space. ash avenue should be transformed as a main route east-west and landscaping and pedestrian routes should be enhanced.

the entrance of the site allocates some key buildings to reinforce the sense of arrival, creating an opportunity for landmark buildings in this location.

the western end of Monterrey avenue allocates three medium size plots. this area sits immediately north of the sssI zone, special attention to the design of these buildings and ancillary spaces should be incorporated to lower impact.

the Masterplan proposes to create a non-secure access immediately north of atlas elektronik Plot to diversify the uses within the Innovation Park. this access is subject to security Fence arrangements in order to keep level of security.

the Masterplan incorporates the extension of the sidings at the north-west corner. extending the sidings creates a unique opportunity for that plot of the Innovation Park.

the immediate phase of the Masterplan sets which plots are likely to be developed in the earlier stages of the implementation, in order to increase number of businesses within the Innovation Park. During this first phase minimal intervention to the site will be required. this will provide a higher economic return to the Dorset Innovation Park which could be invested on site in the latest phase of implementation.

the site sits north-east of the Winfrith Heath site of special scientific Interest (sssI) therefore half of the site falls within the 400 meters buffer. this area is also part of the Dorset Heathland special Protection area, Dorset Heath special area of Conservation (saC) and Dorset Heathland ramsar site.

there is a Public right of Way footpath surrounding the eastern boundary and a bridleway along the western part the northern boundary.

this Masterplan strategy has only looked inside the enterprise Zone Boundary, however there is opportunity to extend to the south of the site.
