63 Urban design analysisThis section seeks to capture the character, function and physical attributes of Daedalus byconsidering the site from different perspectives. Whilst interesting in themselves the primaryobjective through this process is to identify the potential of the site, and its constituent parts, andbegin to indicate design cues or avenues which might be explored in the design phase to follow.Access and activitiesThe first issue to be addressed is the site’saccessibility and connectivity, both forvehicular transport and for pedestrians.This influences the sustainability of thesite, and differing parts of it and indicatespotential in terms of development intensityand the potential for public, community andcommercial uses.Please see the report by transport consultants MVA whichis the primary resource on access and transportationmatters.• Overall the six areas have the potential to be wellconnected into the existing street network. Proximityto existing shops and services varies considerablybetween the sub sites.• The Waterfront area has the greatest potential forintegration with existing routes, as it benefits from anumber of clear access points from Marine Parade andfrom the housing area to the east. The grid like layoutof this adjacent residential area means that thereare relatively direct routes between the site, nearbycommunity facilities and the centre of Lee-on-the-Solent.• There is good access to the northern part of theHangars West area from Gosport Road. This part ofthe site is the closest to the centre of Stubbington.• Baycroft Special School and Crofton SecondarySchool are located opposite the Hangars West areaon Gosport Road and create a potential focus forcommunity or residential development in this area• Hangars West has a series of additional possibleaccess points. Of these Hammond Industrial Estateand William close offer the best links as they would beoverlooked by buildings and connect the site directlywith Stubbington Lane, leading to the centre ofStubbington.• Hangars East has possible access points from GosportRoad, Broom Way and Chark Lane but it has the leastpotential for integration with existing pedestrian routesand has the poorest access to local shops and services.Potential access to Hangars West via William Close.This street is relatively well overlooked and provides adirect connection to Stubbington Lane, leading to thecentre of Stubbington.Drake Road, to the east of the Seaplane hangarsprovides an existing, though currently non operationalaccess into the Waterfront sub site. This street leadsdirectly from Marine Parade to a key node in theWaterfront area..Manor Way is a quiet, residential street with a ruralcharacter. It leads to an existing, non-operationalentrance to the Waterfront area. This could providea good local link, but the character of the street limitsvehicular capacity.Other potential accesses into Hangars West areavailable but via poorly overlooked garage courts.These would however provide minor pedestrian/cycleroutes to Stubbington town centre.An existing but rarely used access into the Waterfrontarea from Marine Parade between the Seaplanehangars. This is the most prominent entrance and couldbecome a main pedestrian/cycle link. The slipway acrossthe road provides the site with access to the water.Existing non-operational site access to the Waterfrontarea from Nottingham Place, a quiet residential street.The entrance is overlooked by Eagle Block and theMain Gate Guardroom. It leads into a key spine street.
