DESIGN PRINCIPLES 7 7.3 General Design Principles for Hardworks • The application of the materials matrix to the hierarchy of streets and spaces will help to control cost, design quality and pedestrian flows (refer to Chapter 6 for the City Centre spatial hierarchy plan) • In order to emphasise the hierarchical nature of the spaces, feature paving should be included within the public squares and feature spaces. Design features within feature paving should incorporate feature bands, literary inscriptions, use of contrasting blends, best use of textures, percentage ratio blends and differing module sizes. • Within the retail heart and public squares the specification will be for natural stone materials that demand very high quality detailing • The concept for the surface treatments to the streets is based on the little black dress, that you can dress up or down according to the occasion. This will facilitate the expansion of the City Centre in the longer term. • The approach to the retail heart from the Potteries Way shall be articulated through the increasing use of colour within the paving materials: the colour range at the periphery of the City Centre shall be grey, with the colour range increasing to grey, cream, yellow and terracotta within the retail heart. • Road markings should only be used where absolutely necessary, and the width of line markings should be reduced from standard widths in primary areas. • consider raising paving levels where stepped access to shop frontages is consistently required within individual streets, to minimise adaptation of entrances to facilitate inclusive access through ramps and handrails. • A co-ordinated palette for hardworks should be adopted that complements materials used in the surrounding buildings (refer to the materials matrix for paving materials over the page). A consistent palette will contribute to an overall branded image • Selected materials should be robust enough to withstand regular pressure washing and long term on-street trader and event use; they should be maintainable in the long term, resistant to vandalism and weather well. • Retractable service supply units incorporating water and electricity supplies should be incorporated into paved areas intended for outdoor trading and events througout the City Centre. • PV electrical charging points for electrically fuelled maintenance vehicles should be incorporated on Town Road and near the Town Hall, subject to further discussions. • The current practice of red or green paint on City Centre roads to define bus and cycle lanes should cease - these lanes will need to be defined as part of the paving design. • Sheffield City Centre, Ancoats Manchester and More London schemes are to be used as best practice examples for incorporation of hazard warning paving - hazard paving to be integrated sympathetically into the design of the paving as a whole. • Cycle lanes shall have a cycle paviour integrated into the paving design, placed at 10m intervals. dished sett drainage channel stone setts and flags within the street corduroy paving and inlaid strip to steps cycle lane paviour, Bristol 66 67
