Bristol City Council Planning Committee approved a major outline planning application for mixed-use redevelopment of the Galleries Shopping Centre on 3 February 2025. The masterplan retains the existing basement structure and works with the changes in levels across the site to create a new public realm, with a series of lanes and courts that connect into the surrounding streets and Castle Park. It also creates a new, enhanced setting for the Grade II* listed Merchant Taylors’ Almshouses. The mixed-use development will include new homes, student housing, offices and a possible hotel – all with retail, food and drink and other active ground floor uses. Tibbalds, with Lindsey Wilkinson, acted as BCC’s urban and landscape design advisors throughout the planning application process for this significant site. Our role was to make sure that the masterplan and illustrative proposals met the City’s design ambition to transform a failing shopping centre into a vibrant mixed-use City Centre neighbourhood for people to enjoy. Allford Hall Monaghan Morris led the design team, with LT Studio as landscape architects. https://lnkd.in/e_g9dnAN
Released today, a new set of guidelines released today sets out a means of addressing health inequalities, improving health and wellbeing and improving long-term sustainability through design codes. Published by the Quality of Life Foundation, Tibbalds, the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA), TRUUD (Tackling Root causes upstream of Unhealthy Urban Development) and Henley Business School, the guidance offers practical recommendations for tackling local health and wellbeing priorities. It is aimed at those involved in commissioning, approving, and delivering new housing, as well as broader placemaking and development. Katja Stille, Director at Tibbalds said: “Given the renewed focus on addressing the country’s housing shortage at speed, it is crucial that these new homes are places people want to live and that they meet high standards for design quality, including health and wellbeing factors. The guidance is available to download from the Quality of Life Foundation website from Monday 10 March and has been supported by Urban Design Learning." On 25 March 2025, the Quality of Life Foundation is running a free webinar for local authorities and other professionals on putting this report into use.

The Marshmoor SPD for a new Hatfield Innovation Campus is out for consultation! Tibbalds work developing and producing a draft Supplementary Planning Document for Gascoyne Estates and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is now out for consultation. The Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan allocates the Marshmoor Site for high quality employment uses and linked housing. Over the past year we have worked with the technical team to understand the site’s technical constraints and qualities and to put forward a clear vision for high quality place-led employment uses. The site is well located next to the village of Welham Green and is right next to the railway station. Gascoyne Estates as the principal landowner have a strong vision for a new innovation campus on the site and the SPD is a key next step in bringing this to life. The SPD sets out a vision and framework for the site structured around five principles: 1. A new nationally recognised innovation and technology campus 2. A rich, biodiverse and climate responsive landscape at the heart of the new development 3. A well connected neighbourhood supporting active and sustainable travel 4. A well integrated and sensitive neighbour 5. An exemplar of high quality design and sustainability As part of the development of the SPD the team has worked with a liaison group made up of officers, landowners, Ward Councillors, County Councillors and Parish Councillors. The emerging strategy was also presented to the Hertfordshire Design Review Panel. Last week we met with residents, neighbours and the wider community to talk them through the SPD proposals and to answer their questions. This feedback and responses to the consultation will be reviewed and will feed into a final version of the document for adoption by the Council. The consultation is open until the 21st March and further details can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/exyNN2Ur
