Faraday Court – Surrey Research Park

Faraday Court is the latest phase of development at Surrey Research Park. Detailed planning permission is being sought for two new buildings totalling over 6,000m2 for specialist veterinary and pathology services. The 2ha sloping site is bordered by ancient woodland.

A sustainable low energy design is being prepared including spoil recycling and biodiversity enhancements. DA has supplied landscape and tree management services to the established design team, including HCD architects. The first phase construction is programmed for completion summer 2014.

Meanwhile as neighbouring SSTL expands the University of Surrey anticipates further development on the Research Park.

Retail Renewal

As British retailing adapts to new markets DA has been instructed on refurbishment programmes in Carlisle and London. Working with St Modwen project management at Edmonton shopping centre and The Co-operative at St Nicholas Retail Park, Carlisle the practice has provided landscape refurbishment strategies to enhance the public realm. Other regional projects extend across the south from Dorset to Kent.

Oxlease Gardens

Oxlease Farm extends to 74 ha in the Test Valley near Romsey. It is divided by the Romsey Barge Canal designated SSSI with an important wetland habitat to the west.

The landowner is proposing to gift this wetland to the local council for environmental and conservation purposes with improved public access supported by a long term landscape management fund.

A low density 58 unit enabling residential development, Oxlease Gardens, is proposed on former paddocks around existing farm buildings. DA is part of the masterplanning/ EIA team working with Pro-Vision Architects that has presented the scheme at public exhibition before the pre-application submission. A full planning application is anticipated to Test Valley BC later in 2012.
