INTEGRATED URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE
Foreword
Pollokshaws has always had a relationship with water, having grown into an independent Burgh as local businesses, for example grain mills and textiles, were set up to exploit the water of the White Cart on its journey to the Clyde near Paisley. However those times are a distant memory and now the White Cart Water is perceived more as a mixed blessing. Is it a threat or an asset?
Pollokshaws is entering a new phase where the redevelopment undertaken in the 1960s and 1970s is subject to new ideas and concepts for regeneration. The Local Authority is preparing a local spatial planning framework to guide this new process and this study will play a major role in that work.
In the 1960s and 1970s the redevelopment of cities was the role of the City Engineer. Water was put in pipes and local watercourses conveniently removed waste out of sight. This is no longer acceptable and urban communities need to learn how to cope with water in a different way.
Innovation in urban design is now an essential requirement to rise to the modern challenges of sustainable communities. Society needs its urban designers and planners to find ways of conserving water quality, managing impacts of changes to climate, especially rainfall, and creating quality urban environments.
The partners in this design project wish to illustrate how water can become integrated into the design of urban areas, how understanding its behaviour can create new opportunities for quality urban landscapes and how conserving water quality can deliver the positive outcomes of sustainable cities.

INFRASTRUCTURE COMES FIRST
01
Governance
The Integrated Urban Infrastructure project aims to demonstrate best practice in sustainable urban drainage and inclusive urban planning by developing a series of feasibility studies for six candidate sites across three regions in the western central belt of Scotland.
The project organisation, resource commitment, direction and decision making has been managed by Glasgow City Council (The Employer).
Figure 1.1: Stakeholder mapping shows the organisational matrix for the project at three strategic levels:
01 Project BoardThe Project Board was chaired by the Scottish Environment Protection Agencys (SEPA) SuDS Co-ordinator, supported by a Board of Directors which included local authority representation. The Project Board formed the highest level of decision making and direction.
02 Project ManagerDay-to-day planning, risk monitoring, cost and staged control was handled by Glasgow City Councils Project Manager within the controlled project environment. The Project Manager reported directly to the Project Board.
03 Project TeamCollective Architecture (Lead consultant and Architect) managed the delivery of design services. Strategic drainage and geotechnical sub-consultancy services were provided by AECOM Limited. The Project Team included a number of specialist advisors.

APPROACH
Scottish Sustainable Communities InitiativeThe Scottish Sustainable Communities Ini-tiative aims to bring innovation into our set-tlements and promote exemplars of how communities could live in future. It aims to inspire Local Authorities, landowners and developers to play their part and contribute to the future sustainable growth of Scot-land.
Greenspace Quality GuideThe Greenspace Quality Guide has been prepared to assist those involved in greens-pace planning to share and better under-stand best practice in developing a co-or-dinated approach to greenspace provision based on a Greenspace Strategy.
Designing PlacesRead in conjunction with Designing Streets, Designing Places marks the Scottish Executives determination to raise standards of urban and rural development.
Designing StreetsDesigning Streets was implemented as a policy document by the Scottish Government in 2010, and aims to place and people before the movement of motor vehicles, and represents a step change in established practices in street design.
The SUDS ManualThis guidance provides best practice guidance on the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) to facilitate their effective implementation within developments.
The guidance supersedes previous general guidance on SUDS and addresses landscaping, biodiversity issues, public perception and community integration as well as water quality treatment and sustainable flood risk management.
Sewers for ScotlandA design and construction guide for developers. Developed in conjunction with Sewers for Adoption, this provides a definitive guide for use by developers for the provision of sewerage. It details the procedures and provides guidance for the design and construction of such infrastructures.
Scottish Planning PolicyScottish Planning Policy (SPP) is the statement of the Scottish Governments policy on nationally important land use planning matters. This places Planning in the wider context of Scottish Governments aims and clarifies the Governments expectations of the system and planning services.
Equally WellThis Scottish Government and National Health Service briefing focuses on socio-economic inequalities that exist within Scottish communities and how they affect population health. Examples include access to education, labour markets, health, housing and environmental quality.
SuDs for RoadsSUDS for Roads is intended to further advance our knowledge of the interaction between roads and drainage within an urban context where roads are now multifunctional. The purpose of the document is to guide the reader through the design of roads incorporating SuDS.

Policy and advice
The design study has taken cognisance of key Scottish Government and Local Government policy documents. Those of particular relevance are noted opposite.
National level
The National Planning Framework 2 (NPF2) sets out a strategy for Scotlands development to 2030, with a central purpose of promoting economic growth. It also places the Central Scotland Green Network as a national priority, as promoted by Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership and the Integrated Urban Infrastructure Board. In 2006 the Scottish Government published People and Places: Regeneration Policy Statement, which aimed at transforming places in order that they might realise their full social and economic potential.
Regional level
The Glasgow and Clyde Valley Structure Plan 2006 sets out the long term development strategy for Glasgow and the Clyde Valley.
Local level
Glasgow City Council has a series of guidance documents outlining aspirations for the site to meet Scottish Government policy.
Key documents include Pollokshaws Local Development Strategy, and Shawbridge Local Development Strategy.The Strategic Objectives of the draft Pollokshaws Local Development Strategy by 2020 are:
Offer housing choice; Offer employment choice; Create environments offering a Sense of Place; Vibrancy and local identity; Make Pollokshaws a competitive place for investment in
commercial, residential and business projects; Modernise infrastructure to support sustainable development; Develop and maintain a quality green network offering safe,
stimulating, healthy environments; Ensure accessibility to local services, and Invest in a fully integrated transport network.

UNDERSTANDING THE SITE
Site context
Pollokshaws is located approximately three miles to the south of Glasgow City Centre. The area began as a local Burgh before merging into wider Glasgow. Initially a village of tenements, victorian cottages and businesses supporting a textile industry, this changed in 1957 when much of the original fabric was demolished and redeveloped into high-rise housing.
Figure 2.1: Aerial mapping shows the relationship between the city centre and the design study area.
The study area covers approximately 62ha and is currently heavily urbanised land with existing residential housing, high rise flats, large commercial buildings including retail, industrial and office premises. The area is bisected by several watercourses including the White Cart Water, the Auldhouse Burn and an un-named burn to the south.
Pollokshaws sits within close proximity to the magnificent Pollok Country Park. However, the connection between Pollokshaws and the Park is weakened by the heavily trafficked Pollokshaws Road bounding the site to the north west.
The area has excellent transport links, with access to three local train stations bounding the site, and bus services which bisect the area linking it to the city centre.

UNDERSTANDING THE SITE
Historical context
Pollokshaws first appeared on historical maps from 1747-55. The area was a thriving community of shops, businesses, cottages and tenements with a local economy driven by the textile industry.
Figure 2.2: Historical map from 1880, highlights that the urban fabric followed a linear pattern along Shawbridge Street, with shops fronting onto this stretch, St Mary Immaculate on the northern end, and the Round Toll to the south.
Pollokshaws became a Burgh in 1812 and remained as such until 1912 when the area merged into the City of Glasgow. Photographs from this period indicate a dense and urban community of small industry and shops served by a tram network.
With the advent of the post-war housing crisis, much of the original urban fabric was demolished in 1957 with Pollokshaws designated as a Comprehensive Development Area. This saw much of the study area redeveloped into high-rise housing, with the erection of 15 towerblocks and 2 large factories on either side of the banks of the White Cart Water. These have acted to disconnect the community from the river. The area adjacent to the existing Clock Tower, or toonhouse, saw the construction of a new shopping precinct whilst the library was built adjacent to the baths opposite. Several key historical buildings are interspersed in the web of redevelopment such as Pollokshaws Burgh Halls, the Stag Inn and Pollokshaws Parish Church.

UNDERSTANDING THE SITE
Site description
Pollokshaws has a complex mixture of building styles and eras, land use, street layouts and topography. The site as a whole has a frag-mented character with poor connections both across the site and to the surrounding areas. The combination of the large linear and multi-storey flats positioned off road and the enclosed retail park and industrial sites have largely broken the traditional street pattern.
A large portion of the site to the west is dedicated to housing stock owned by Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) which comprises mainly high and medium rise developments. The majority of these are under review with several already demolished, resulting in swathes of cleared land.
The south is largely occupied by a retail park and two factories on the banks of the White Cart Water. To the east lies a large supermarket.
The retail and industrial areas separate the residential property on the west side of the site from the parkland along the eastern edge. The green corridor of the White Cart Water is accessible only within the parkland areas.
Pollokshaws is generally well connected by public transport. However, access to railway stations is hindered by the lack of safe and accessible, pedestrian routes.
Figure 2.4: Site as existing, indicates key views in and around the site taken from similar locations to the photographs on the previous page within Figure 2.2: Historical map from 1880.

UNDERSTANDING THE SITE
Glasgow Housing Association development site, aerial photograph.
Planning context
A Local Development Strategy (LDS) for Pollokshaws is currently being prepared by Glasgow City Council. This will set out a strategy for the future use of key buildings, social and recreational facilities, the Shawbridge Arcade, other local shopping provision and surrounding industrial and commercial uses.
Figure 2.5: Pollokshaws Local Development Strategy map extract outlines the nature of several sites according to greenspace, heritage and areas of committed and potential change.
Pollokshaws is one of eight priority areas identified by GHA for major restructuring of the social rented housing stock. The area currently consists of a mixture of tower blocks and deck access flats. Large scale demolition of the tower blocks is underway as part of the regeneration.
A number of isolated historical buildings are dotted throughout the site and are to be retained where possible. These are identified in more detail in Figure 3.7 on pages 32 and 33.
Pollok Football club and the industrial SCA packaging site are under review by their current owners. This will in turn affect future development strategies.
The aspiration of Glasgow City Council and its partners is to regenerate the area and provide a unique, well designed Urban Village of 830 residential properties using best sustainable development practice.

INFORMING THE APPROACH
Site topography
Pollokshaws is bisected by several watercourses.
The White Cart Water flows east to west through the site. Auldhouse Burn, a tributary of the White Cart Water, flows through the southern part of the site to join the White Cart Water. An un-named watercourse, flowing from Clarkston to the south, enters the site from the south east boundary to join the White Cart Water immediately upstream of the Auldhouse Burn confluence.
The White Cart Water and the Auldhouse Burn both receive surface water drainage from existing urban areas within the site, including extensive urban areas upstream. The unnamed watercourse from Clarkston drains a heavily urbanised catchment which contributes unattenuated drainage to the watercourse.
Figure 3.1: Site plan indicating design study area relative to ground levels, highlights that Pollokshaws sits on relatively flat ground with only small changes in elevation, where blue indicates low ground and orange high ground. The levels vary from around 22m above ordnance datum (AOD) to 18m AOD across the site, with the exception of the area around St Convals Primary School in the north of the site at an elevation of approximately 46m AOD.

INFORMING THE APPROACH
White Cart flooding
Historically, the White Cart Water has been prone to significant flooding, causing access problems and damage to surrounding residential and commercial properties.
Glasgow City Council has addressed this issue through the implementation of the White Cart Water Flood Prevention Scheme. The Scheme is currently under construction and will have a significant beneficial effect on the flood risk within Pollokshaws.
The over-arching flood prevention scheme involves the formation of three flood storage areas upstream of the city as well as flood defences, in the form of low walls and embankments, constructed in selected parts of the river corridor through the city. Construction of the scheme is currently underway (as of July 2010).
Figure 3.3: Existing site plan indicating flood defences, highlights the extent of the flood prevention works that have already been carried out and the works yet to be implemented.
26 / 27
White Cart Flood Prevention Scheme
Detailed hydraulic modelling of the Auldhouse Burn and White Cart Water was carried out by engineering firm Halcrow as part of the White Cart Water Project.
Pre and post scheme flood outlines are provided and are reproduced in the Technical Baseline Report, Figures 7.1 to 7.3 within Appendix B on the accompanying CD.
Contract 1 involves the construction of the three flood storage areas upstream of the city, located at Blackhouse on the Earn Water, Kirkland Bridge on the White Cart Water, and Kittoch Bridge on the Kittoch Water. The storage areas will attenuate floodwater generated by extreme rainfall and control the release of water passing downstream through the city. For further information, see section 7.4.1.2 in the accompanying baseline report on the CD.
The forecast completion dates for each of the three flood storage areas are:
Blackhouse (Earn Water) - September 2010 Kirkland Bridge (White Cart) - June 2010 Kittoch Bridge (Kittoch Water) - January 2011
Contract 2 comprises the construction of approximately 4.5km of flood defence walls and embankments along sections of the White Cart Water and Auldhouse Burn together with the raising of two footbridges and the construction of six underground pumping stations. Construction started in January 2009 and is due for completion in October 2011. A number of these operations have been deferred by Glasgow City Council since publication of the scheme.

INFORMING THE APPROACH
Road network
Despite being well connected via bus and train services, Pollokshaws is bounded by heavily trafficked roads which restricts pedestrian movement.
Figure 3.4: Existing road network, indicates that vehicular access into the site can be attained through eight points. Two of these are used by bus services and connect the area to Glasgow City Centre.Figure 3.5: Existing bus routes and bus stops highlights that a further bus route travels along Pollokshaws road, however due to poor throughfares and access, these are difficult to reach. Furthermore, due to this condition, Pollokshaws Road requires four car lanes. Few buildings front onto it, thereby encouraging fast traffic.
Pollokshaws Road appears more like a transport corridor than a street and this in turn disconnects Pollokshaws from the adjacent Pollok Park.
Access is also difficult towards the north of the area where a road passes steeply up a slope and over a relatively narrow bridge at the rail line. To the south-west, a large roundabout makes pedestrian travel to the opposite side of the road difficult.

Key observations:
The existing residential areas within the site are identified as having high acces-sibility in Glasgow City Plan 2, defined by more than 12 buses per hour within the catchment and more than 6 trains per hour within the catchment.
The site is bounded by B759 Pollok-shaws Road along the west frontage and B762 Nether Auldhouse Road along the south frontage. Connections from those roads into the site currently exist, providing the site with good vehicular access.
At this stage, it is envisaged that the existing transportation network would be able to support regeneration of Pol-lokshaws. However, the ability of the existing road network to support any future proposals for developments of specific land use or masterplans would require to be assessed, depending on the scale of any proposed develop-ment, as part of a Transportation Assessment.
Should Pollokshaws Road/Christian Street and Nether Auldhouse Road/Shawbridge Street junctions be retained as site access points, the junctions would require to be assessed in capacity terms through junction modelling as part of a Transport As-sessment.
There are numerous bus stops in and around the site and there are three rail stations surrounding the site: Pollokshaws East, Pollokshaws West and Shawlands. The excellent public transport links which exist minimise the need for car travel to and from the site.

Pedestrian and cycle movement
Figure 3.6: Existing railways, cycle routes and paths, indicates that Pollokshaws is currently serviced by three nearby train stations: Pollokshaws East, Pollokshaws West and Shawlands. These connect Pollokshaws to the City Centre as well as the Cathcart circle and Ayr lines.
Pollokshaws East station is partially disconnected from the central area of Pollokshaws by a large supermarket to the south-west. This forces users of the train station to pass through a car park, where there is no clear delineation of paths, or around a longer route.
Pollokshaws West station is equally disconnected from the centre as a result of Pollokshaws Road. There are relatively few access points leading to the station, particularly around the area of the White Cart Water, with heavy traffic making crossing this road hazardous. Pollok Park is also disconnected from the area at this location.
At present, there are dedicated footways and cycle ways within the site together with on road cycle lanes. The existing dedicated cy-cling facilities within the site together with the traffic calming meas-ures outlined above and the dedicated bus, cycle and taxi lanes on Pollokshaws Road ensure that cycling is a viable mode of transport to and from the site.

INFORMING THE APPROACH
Existing built fabric
Pollokshaws has a complex mixture of building styles from a variety of eras with differing land use and street layouts. There is little integration of the various eras of development within the site with large areas where there is no coherent street pattern. Many of the listed, 19th century buildings retained on the site are scattered incongruously amongst subsequent developments. These older buildings are used mainly for community facilities, such as schools, creches and churches. Buildings of historical significance include Pollokshaws Burgh halls, Stag building, Swan Inn and St Mary Immaculate church.
Figure 3.7: Diagram indicating heritage zones, greenspace and areas of contamination, highlights the key zones of historic merit and areas of significant greenspace. This also notes area of potential contamination from previous and existing industry that should be taken into consideration for future development.
There is a local centre at the north end of Ashtree Road with a parade of shops, recently demolished sports centre and library. The local centre appears to be failing, possibly due to the proximity of the retail parks and the lack of a through route that might provide passing trade.
The long views from Toons House Square to St Mary Immaculate Church should be protected as a particularly attractive vista that contributes to the character of the area.

CONSTRAINTS
Fig. 3.8 Existing site massing and open space, Collective Architecture 2010.
Whilst the site has large areas of open space there are few areas of useable green space availble to local residents The football pitches to the west of the White Cart Water are vast and illdefined.
The existing shopping area is separated from residential de-velopments to the north by the attractive Toons House Square with a vista to St Mary Immac-ulate Church set among trees on the steeply rising ground on Shawhill Road.
Auldhouse Park forms a belt of traditional local parkland to the east with a strong connection to residential properties adja-cent to the site. The sections of Auldhouse Park to the west and Greenview Park are divided from housing to the east by Nether Auldhouse Road and enclosed on two sides by Auldhouse water. Due to the di-vided nature of the park, these areas seem like a series of quite separate spaces.
The retail and industrial areas separate the residential prop-erty on the west side of the site from the parkland along the eastern edge, the green cor-ridor of the White Cart Water linking across the site is acces-sible only within the parkland areas.
The west of the site is bounded by Pollokshaws Road. Beyond the road sits the elevated rail-way to the edge of Pollok Park. The parkland entrance is adjacent to the road and railway bridges over the White Cart Water. Pollokshaws West Station is located south of the rail bridge. The Park edge is wooded with echoing tree belts along southern sections of the site edge.
Pollok Park is accessible only at its main entrance. Pedestri-an access is from the vehicular entrance on busy Pollokshaws Road. The only pedestrian crossing is positioned some distance east of the entrance close to the primary school.

Existing landscape
The existing river corridors and public parks are protected as open space and are recognised for their nature conservation value under several designations, with a presumption against development.
Figure 3.8: Existing site massing and open space describes key open spaces, their location and access issues.
Access to the White Cart Water is very limited with only short sections of pathway within park areas and no pedestrian access along the length of the river. Auldhouse Burn is accessible within Auldhouse Park to the south and Greenview Park to the west.
There is no pedestrian link along the river to Pollok Park and it would be very difficult to develop such a link due to the structure of the low road bridge carrying Pollokshaws Road over the White Cart Water.
Direct access to Auldhouse Park in the south and east is primarily from surrounding areas with very limited direct access from within the site itself.
The enclosure of retail parks and industrial sites along the river corridors and associated bank re-profiling have created a hard edge which could have an undesirable channelising effect at times of high water.
There are a high number of mature trees within the site both along the river corridors and within the residential areas which help to link the area to Pollok Park and are one of the most attractive features of the site.
The former shopping area is separated from the residential developments to the south by Toons Hoose Square with a vista to St Marys Church set among trees on the steeply rising ground on Shawhill Road.
The northern edge of the site is defined by the wooded railway embankments and cuttings connecting to Pollokshaws East station and there is no intervisibility at ground level between most of the site and the residential areas to the north. Access to the north is limited to railway bridges or underpasses along the road corridors.

INFORMING THE APPROACH
Site ownership
Figure 3.9: Site ownership diagram, indicates that the majority of the Pollokshaws area is owned by Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Housing Association (GHA), with a number of pockets belonging to retail and industrial owners.
Glasgow City Council and GHA control the majority of areas to the north west of the site, meaning action here can be readily implemented in the short-medium term.
A patchwork of ownership exists within the south east around Morrisons superstore and Pollok Football Club and to the south west, rendering these areas more complex to develop in a holistic manner.
Figure 3.10: Potential phasing, highlights how sites might be developed in a series of phases over a longer term period. This is described in more detail within Chapter 5 Place-making p58-59.

The majority of the site is drained by a combined sewer system. A network of combined sewer infrastructure therefore exists across the site. A small number of areas within the site are drained by separate surface water drainage, discharging directly into the White Cart Water or Auldhouse Burn.
The principle 24 inch trunk main runs along Pollokshaws Road. Trunk mains also run along Bengal Street, Shawbridge Street, Riverbank Street, Greenview Street, Pleasance Way and Coustonholm Road. A network of distribution mains serve areas within the site boundary. A proposed main is marked along Barrhead Road and Nether Auldhouse Road, which then turns north east along the Auldhouse Burn to then follow the centreline of the White Cart Water upstream.
All gas lines within the site boundary are low pressure mains. The majority of the site is served by underground lines. Some overhead lines are located along Auldhouse Road and Riverford Road.British Telecom, Cable & Wireless, Easynet, and Virgin Media all have telecommunication cables located within the site boundary. All cables are underground.

Utilities
Pollokshaws is heavily urbanised and as a consequence a large number of utilities infrastructure currently exists within the site.
Figure 3.11: Existing utility layouts, indicates the extent and location of existing services in and immediately around the site. Figure 3.12 Waste water network indicates the extent of combined sewers and surface water network. Larger versions of these drawings can be found within the Technical Baseline Report, Figure 9.1-9.4 on the appended CD.
Connection to existing utilities within the site should be readily accessible for any new development.
It should be noted however that large industrial areas to the south and west have supply at access points only and significant pipe connections and ground works may be required should future development of these sites be considered for alternative uses.
Existing utilities generally follow the existing road network. This suggests that it would be desireable to reinforce the existing street pattern and reuse the current road infrastructure and layout to minimise interference with utilities and avoid excessive diversions.

THE WATER JOURNEY
Catchments
Figure 4.1: Proposed sub-catchments, identifies the sub-catchments developed to inform the over-arching surface water management strategy. The approach to defining sub-catchments differs from undeveloped, greenfield sites. In addition to topographical constraints and the location of existing water courses, the sub-catchments are based on existing road layouts (on the assumption that major roads will remain essentially unchanged throughout the regeneration process) and whether the areas are zoned for redevelopment or contain buildings to be retained. The sub-catchment areas may change as future masterplans progress and individual drainage schemes for each sub-catchment are required.
Measures taken across the entire site to prevent and reduce runoff include:
Prevention; this is the first aspect of the SuDS management train, the amount and extent of paving throughout the development area should be minimised;
Reduction; where possible the volume of water connecting to drainage systems should be reduced through infiltration, evapotranspiration, rainwater recycling or reuse to reduce runoff, and
Source control; should be used as a first level of treatment throughout the sub-catchments using permeable paving and green roofs where practical.
The existing pressure on the strategic surface water systems is distributed through the provision of significant source control techniques. This also reduces the risk to the water environment should a single element fail. Source control systems can be easily integrated within other land use surfaces such as permeable paving and green roofs, which have an inherent residual maintenance requirement. Therefore, through appropriate training and education the future maintenance burden should be viewed as a minimal additional activity within an overall system. The maintenance of such systems are expected to be incorporated within riparian land owners, including those public open spaces managed by local authorities.
The Pollokshaws study area is currently heavily developed, with an estimated impermeable area of approximately 75%.
Modelling of the sub-catchments have been carried out using surface modelling software to consider the potential runoff from the site and surrounding areas for 0.5% AEP rainfall event.
42 / 43
Drainage principles
A target 20% reduction in surface water runoff from the catchment should be delivered through surface design and inclusion of source control measures. The reduction should be applied to both peak flows and total volumes through the reduction of impermeable areas, inclusion of source control measures such as green roofs, water butts, permeable paving and also application of rainwater harvesting techniques in those areas being redeveloped.
8.4 hectares of the site is currently drained by separate surface water systems discharged directly, and unattenuated, to the White Cart Water or Auldhouse Burn. There are opportunities to retrofit SuDS treatment and attenuation to greenfield runoff rates in these areas. This will reduce peak flow into the White Cart Water from the current condition.
Identify opportunities to disconnect surface water runoff from the sewer system, and manage it on the surface using SuDS principles. Management will involve treatment and attenuation to greenfield runoff rates which will then be discharged into the White Cart Water or one of its tributaries. There are a number of benefits to be realised which include:
environmental benefits including habitat enhancement opportunities;
simpler construction methods;
ease of modification and adaptability to additional climate change recognition;
simpler maintenance and identification of problems, and
potential for reduced cost if renewal or replacement becomes necessary.

THE WATER JOURNEY
The water journey
The completion of the White Cart Water Flood Prevention Scheme would reduce the flood risks associated with external influences on the site can be expected to decrease for flood events with a severity less than 0.5% AEP (1 in 200 year return period).
As there are still several flood prevention measures yet to be completed it is proposed that these might be replaced by alternative landscaping solutions which could protect the development from flooding whilst allowing retention ponds and surface water floodplain areas to connect with the riverbank. It is likely that such measures will be a more economical option than the original hard engineering approach.
Figure 4.2: The water journey - green and blue routes, outlines how this approach offers the opportunity to provide a natural, rather than walled, riverbank which links the adjacent pond and retention areas to form a naturalised watercourse, wetland and surface water floodplain system.
The siting of linear ponds and water routes has been considered in relation to
