WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTERCommunity Planning

MARTINS YARDElemento Group is pleased to be bringing forward the residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment of Martins Yard (view site location overleaf) that responds sensitively to the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area. The intention is to regenerate this brownfield, urban site with new homes, mixed uses on the ground floor, high quality landscaped spaces and improved pedestrian and cycle links.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONElemento Group is committed to engaging with local stakeholders and the wider community to help shape the proposals. During March and April, architects and masterplanners JTP will be holding consultation activities to present the background of the Martins Yard site and gather ideas on possible uses for the site and its relationship with the surrounding neighbourhood.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we may not be able to hold face to face meetings and exhibitions but we will ensure easily accessible communication with the community via the jtp.co.uk website, physical newsletters and a Freephone number 0800 012 6730.

HAVE YOUR SAY!As a first step we would like to hear what you “like” and “dislike” about the local area around Martins Yard and your ideas for the regeneration

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

COLLABORATIVE PLACEMAKINGHOW WE WORK

We approach all our projects through a process of understanding, engaging, and creating, which together we call ‘Collaborative Placemaking’.

This means putting people at the heart of the creative process, unearthing the real needs of a community, empowering stakeholders, creating goodwill, inspiring community spirit and building consensus. Far from imposing ready-made off-the-shelf solutions, we build a vision together. This leads to places that are vibrant, valued and sustainable from the outset.

UNDERSTANDINGUnderstanding the DNA of a place is fundamental to successful placemaking. We don’t stop until we get under the skin of a place and identify what makes it special.

ENGAGINGEngaging stakeholders and clients encourages understanding, creates shared ownership, and allows the construction of a collective vision.

CREATINGCreating begins with the visioning process and ends with physical interventions. Along the way there are many issues to resolve and many actions to co-ordinate.

Collaborative Placemaking puts people at the heart of the creative process, unearths the real needs of a community, empowers stakeholders, creates goodwill, inspires community spirit and builds consensus.

Far from imposing ready-made off the shelf solutions, we build a vision together.

Community planning events are intensive and aim to create a shared vision for a project in a matter of days, regardless of the size, nature or complexity of the area in question.

Our clients have benefited in a number of ways from bringing together all stakeholders at an early stage to plan for change.

These include:

• Maximising development potential through consultative rather than confrontational processes.

• Avoiding long delays at planning approval stage by addressing community concerns early in the design process.

• Resolving conflicts where parties have become deadlocked.

• Creating the framework for success in community funding bids.

MARTINS YARDBROCKLEY - First Stage Consultation

HAVE YOUR SAY!

THE SITEThe Martins Yard site is approximately 0.36 hectares in area and comprises part of the Endwell Road Local Employment Location. The site also sits within the boundary of the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area.

The site is currently occupied by Skyline Roofing Centres Ltd and is populated with four shed/warehouse buildings set within an open storage yard. The floor space of these buildings total 656 m2 and approximately 8 people are employed on site.

HISTORY Brockley has transitioned from a woodland clearing to a small agricultural community to an industrial, highly connected place during the 19th and early twentieth century. Today it is now primarily a sought-after residential area with a range of amenities and good rail connections.

This growth has been led first by the Croydon Canal and then the railways which replaced it and currently surround the site.

In the first stage of the consultation, we would like to hear what you “like” and “dislike” about the local area around Martins Yard and your ideas for the regeneration of the site itself. You can do this either by visiting jtp.co.uk/projects/martinsyard to view more background on the proposals and to make your comments online or by filling in this postcard form, detaching it and mailing it back to us by Freepost - no envelope or stamp required. We welcome comments by Wednesday 7 April 2021.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE LOCAL AREA AROUND THE MARTINS YARD SITE?

WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT THE LOCAL AREA AROUND THE MARTINS YARD SITE?

WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE MARTINS YARD SITE ITSELF AND WHAT USES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THERE?

Thank you for taking time to complete this questionnaire. We will collate the answers received to use in the design process to help with creating the Vision for the Martins Yard site. We will share this Vision with you at 6pm on Wednesday 14 April via Zoom and ask for your feedback before further developing the proposals for the site. We will send you an invitation to the email address provided above.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTIONFull details of how we process, manage and retain your personal information can be found online in our Privacy Notice at jtp.co.uk/projects/community-planning. JTP will retain your details in order to communicate with you about the Martins Yard project up to and including the submission of the planning application. We may share your personal details with the project team but not with any other third parties.

The Martins Yard site has remained as a storage yard since its formation around the 1900s. The primary access to the site was originally from Endwell Road to the east where Martins Yard formed a much larger complex. The access on to Drakefell Road was secondary.

Dating back to the 1950s it is evident that the site was used as a dairy storage and distribution depot. The site was owned by Jason Martin, of Martin’s Dairy, however the area today has now been divided into different ownerships and uses.

The neighbouring development, Dragonfly Place, received planning approval in 2012. It is a mixed use development of 4 storeys with commercial units at ground and first floor and self-contained homes on the upper floors.

We would like to hear your views about the regeneration of the Martins Yard site. Please fill in the form opposite or submit comments online at jtp.co.uk/projects/martinsyard.

LIKES, DISLIKES, IDEASCommunity Planning

LIKES• Green space – local parks Telegraph Hill: Upper and Lower parks, Nunhead cemetery – tree lined streets• Community – diverse local population – strong community spirit• Local businesses & amenities – variety of local independent shops, cafes, schools and other amenities• Accessibility – good public transport links – easy access to other areas by walking• Look and feel – charm and character, peaceful residential• Architecture & design – Victorian houses – self build – modern/traditional – Dragonfly Place - variety• Mixed uses – Dragonfly Place and other mixed-use schemes• Views – views over London in multiple directions

“Great parks nearby and easy access to various other areas whether that be walking or utilising transport links.”

“Brockley attracts a variety of different people; students, families, and house-sharers, so a sense of community can be felt. I feel this is reflected through the logo and sentiments of Brockley Brewery – ‘Support Local’.”

“Brockley itself has charm and character and a great variety of restaurants, bars and boutique shops.”

“As regards Dragonfly Place, the height of the buildings (although it would have been even better had the units been less close together) and the inclusion of work-units on the ground floor.”



DISLIKES• Traffic – volume of traffic along Drakefell Road – lorries and HGV - pollution – noise • Parking – high demand for local people – difficult for pedestrians as cars are often parked on pavements• Look and feel – the builders yard is run down • Accessibility – lack of through route for pedestrians - crowded local public transport• Architecture & design – poorly converted flats

“I hate the awful lorries using skyline roofing. Noisy, out of place for the area and have damaged my car 4 times!”

“The messy appearance of the buildings around the end of Drakefell Road, Endwell Road, Dragonfly Place and Mantle Road and down to Brockley Cross.”

“Lack of through-route for pedestrians through Dragonfly Place and into Drakefell Road.”

“The amount of small and badly converted flat-conversions.”



IDEAS FOR THE SITE• Local businesses & amenities – independent businesses – café, gym, butcher – community space & art• Mixed Uses – a mixed scheme of commercial and housing – studios – live/work space – co-working• Accessibility – improve cycling & pedestrian access - link site through to Dragonfly Place • Green Space – more public open and green spaces – community gardens – plaza - yards - more trees –

private gardens – landscaped public gardens • Architecture & design – modern but sympathetic to local history and local buildings - sustainably built

- family accommodation• Height – overlooking of existing homes• Affordability – genuinely affordable• Traffic & Parking – minimise additional traffic – ban pavement parking – zero parking

“A green square/plaza with a small cafe/deli to serve the businesses around.”

“It would be nice to see mixed use. We need spaces for start-ups and new businesses with fair rent.”

“Whatever scheme is introduced, it needs to be acceptable to the residents living adjacent to it (accepting that most things might be better than a builders’ yard) and in particular avoid any scheme which substantially increases overlooking of the gardens of the houses in Drakefell Road.”

“Provision for social / affordable housing, which is in short supply in the area.”


KEY THEMESCommunity Planning

MIXED USES

The community places a high value on local business and amenities. There are many quality independent shops and services in and around Brockley and there is a desire to see more affordable employment space provided for in the local area. The mixed-use units in Dragonfly Place are well liked and there was a hope these types of commercial units could be extended to Martins Yard as well as providing shared community facilities, flexible live-work space, co-working, workshops and creative studios.

“A mixed scheme of small businesses and housing. Co-working space would be ace.”

“Love dragonfly place, it’s a lovely sensitively built site. Good to see local businesses.”



ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

The new buildings should respond to the look and feel of the local area. Whether that means integrating with Dragonfly place or with the wider, historic Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, in both cases taking cues from local building context and materials. New homes should be genuinely affordable and minimise overlooking of existing neighbours to the north. The design should attract a diversity of people; students, families, and house-sharers, enhancing the sense of community.

“The Drakefell road area, has always been a mixed community of private ownership, local authority, and RSL housing, with a mixture of families, and single people. The plan to integrate Martins Yard, should continue this diversity.”

“More homes like Dragonfly Place!”

“If properties must be built then they should be sympathetic to the Victorian history in Brockley.”



MOVEMENT & TRANSPORT

Many are concerned about the volume of traffic along Drakefell Road, curb side parking, pollution, and the speed and frequency of HGVs in and around the site. There is also concern that the new development at Martins Yard may put further strain on the road network. However, there is an opportunity for the site to be developed with a sustainable approach to movement and transport. Existing residents would welcome safe walking and cycling routes instead of a reliance on cars and, although constrained by the limitations of the project, pedestrian access from Martins Yard through Dragonfly Place.

“The main problem of this area is the pollution and commuter traffic. It destroys the community and is damaging to health. We have campaigned about this actively and think there are simple ways of making things better such as banning pavement parking, more safe crossing points and ANPR cameras to stop HGVs in parts they shouldn’t be.”

“It would be good if the new site could be used to create a new proper street connecting Dragonfly place to Drakefell Road with more independent shops, co-working spaces, cafes and green spaces/flowerbeds. Improved cycle links would also be positive.”



LANDSCAPE LED

The community places a high value on the local parks, green spaces and tree lined streets and feels that quality of life is enhanced by the proximity to views, open space, and nature. There is a desire to increase the amount of green space, trees, and outdoor areas as access to more public and private open space is important, particularly during the pandemic and beyond. A range of courtyard gardens, roof gardens, woodland spaces and yards with places to sit, meet, grow, plant and relax should be considered.

“Brockley itself has developed into a place to bring up children, with the parks, Hilly Fields, Telegraph Hill Parks and Nunhead Cemetery. Wildlife is still in evidence!”

“There also needs to be greenery and landscaped gardens built into this area. The little green spaces we do have are busy during the summer months.”

Brockley is located within the London Borough of Lewisham and is well served by the Overground and National Rail which provide excellent links into Central London and towards south London. Unfortunately Brockley does not benefit from the East-West rail connections since Brockley Lane Station closed in 1917. However, there is the possibility that the current Brockley Station can be upgraded to create an interchange at this higher rail level.

The road connections provide good access into Central London as well as Kent and Surrey.

The site is in close proximity to a number of high quality green spaces, such as; Telegraph Hill, Nunhead Cemetery and Hilly Fields.

The existing site is dominated by hard asphalt surfacing with little green space, other than the vegetation along the Southern and Western boundaries.

The images on the page opposite demonstrate the current harsh nature of the site. The photographs also show that the materials stored on site are stacked to a considerable height.

The proposals should seek to increase green cover on site through ground level gardens and rooftop amenity space, enhancing biodiversity around the SINC.

DESIGN PRINCIPLESThe Vision

THE SITE

The site is cleared of the existing warehouse buildings.

A SENSE OF ARRIVAL

A new, shared space ‘yard’ is created as you enter the site from Drakefell Road.


EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

The new employment space is intended to be a continuation from Dragonfly Place. This area will be divided into high quality uses such as; work sheds, private meeting space and a co-working hub.

FOUR SLENDER BLOCKS

These block will be orientation North-South in order to eliminate single aspect north facing apartments and reduce overlooking issues with the properties along Drakefell Road. These blocks primary aspects will be East or West with the majority overlooking green space.



CENTRALISED CORES

The circulation spaces will be set into the centre of the plan and connect the blocks.

LINKING ELEMENT

A linking element, that is permeable at ground floor, is proposed to enclose the entrance space and create a threshold through to the central courtyard.



SETBACK FLOORS

The upper floor is setback to create a stepped section to the properties along Drakefell Road.

BUILDINGS IN LANDSCAPE

Green landscaped gardens and courtyards occupy the space between the buildings and create a connection to the green assets along the Southern boundary.

Drakefell Road sits as much as 6m above the site at Martins Yard

LANDSCAPE LED APPROACHThe Vision

The design team feel that a landscape led approach is necessary to create a successful scheme.

The emerging landscape proposals are informed by the surrounding context. The most interesting of which are the layers of landscape that exist at the levels surrounding the site.

The new scheme with its reoriented buildings, allows green space and new biodiverse to connect through it.


The landscape concept is to plant a barrier of scented evergreen climbers along the northern edge of the level 4 terrace to screen neighbouring houses and gardens from overlooking.

The terrace then seeks to create a varied amenity space for all residents to use together.

Grow Gardens Facing south towards the SINC, the grow gardens will be well positioned for all residents.

Communal Dining The proposal calls for several varied spaces to eat together, well positioned to take advantage of sunlight in the day and through the evenings.

Glade A glade adds further interest to the site and provides residents on upper floors with easy access to green space
