The maingreen transport routes included within themasterplan are:••••A strong east-west pedestrian andcycle link from Norwich Placeto Drake Road via ImplacableRoad. This route passes byBarracks Square and provides aconnection to the waterfront viathe commercial uses located alongImplacable RoadA connection between NottinghamPlace and the Seafront, via theWardroom, Barracks Square andthe Seaplane Hangars, along EagleRoad to Brambles Lane. This is astrategic route connecting the siteto the local centre at Lee-on-the-Solent and one which passes keyfacilities within Daedalus such aslocal shops, mixed use facilitieswithin the Seaplane Hangars andBarracks Square, and the likelyinstitutional uses located withinthe WardroomA north-south link between thecommercial uses situated to thenorth of the site and the mixeduses in the southern area, along arealigned Vengeance RoadA key pedestrian route betweenBarracks Square and the Seafrontlinking these two historic spacestogether• Links between Daedalus and thesurrounding areas. These includecreating links at Nottingham Place,Norwich Place, Brambles Road,Drake Road and adjacent to RossHouse.Key SpacesThe masterplan proposes a network of highquality public open spaces throughout thesite. The spaces form part of the pedestrianlinks through the site, ensuring a certainlevel of use at most times of the day. Thespaces would have varying character andtreatment as indicated below. Each of thespaces will be well overlooked with activefrontages along their edges.The masterplan proposes the enhancementof five key public spaces, including:Barracks SquareThis open space will combine both hardand soft landscape, enhancing the settingof the listed Dining Room and Cookhouse.The space is crossed by a number ofpedestrian routes through the site, dividingthe large square into a number of smallerand more intimate spaces.Seaplane SquareSeaplane Square will comprise a hardlandscape and depending on the useslocated in the hangars, has the potentialto perform a dual function. For example,the western half of the square could servecommercial activities located with thehangars in this part of the square and assuch will be a private space for the mostof the time. The eastern half of the squarecould therefore be open to the public andcould be related to mixed use activitiestaking place in the seaplane hangars in thisarea. As such it is likely to have activitiesspilling out onto the square, with cafétables, seating areas and possibly marketstalls. As a whole, the square could beopened to the public from time to timeand used for a variety of informal publicactivities including civic events.Westcliffe House/The Wardroom GardensThe historic landscape setting will bereinstated in front of Westcliffe Houseand The Wardroom, creating an intimategarden backdrop to the two ListedBuildings. This part of the site will appearto be much more private than the otherpublic open spaces.Ross House ParkA public park is to be created to the eastof Ross House, on the site of the originalgardens for Ross House before it wasdemolished and replaced with the currentapartment block. This is the most denselylandscaped part of the site, with manyof the original trees and shrubs stillremaining.Wykeham Hall Green LinkImprovements are proposed to the grassedarea, which contains a small numberof established trees, located in front ofWykeham Hall.

36 DAEDALUSIMPLEMENTATION & PHASINGDevelopment TimetableThe overall timescale to develop the visionfor Daedalus will extend over a numberof years. It is anticipated that some partsof the site will be developed sooner thanothers. Some elements of the plan will bemore suited to meet short and mediumterm goals, while other areas may be moreappropriate for development in the longerterm.A phased implementation is proposed, toallow individual sites to come forwardincrementally in response to the market.Consideration will be given to the timingof bringing forward community facilitiesand public open space alongside the otherresidential and employment uses.Waterfront phasingSome existing businesses at the Waterfrontare likely to remain in the long-term butother buildings will be demolished tomake way for new development. Phasing ofdevelopment should ensure that retainedpremises can continue to operate duringthe course of development.Viability/Enabling DevelopmentIn order to attract new investmentto the area, and to ensure successfulimplementation of the vision, it isimportant that the masterplan provides aseries of attractive and commercially viabledevelopment opportunities.The initial, ‘broad brush’ financialassessment indicates that the masterplandoes provide such opportunities. However,the assessment of viability will be anongoing process, and will need to bereviewed and refined as detailed proposalsare brought forward for individual sites orelements of the masterplan.The ongoing assessment of viability mustalso take account of both the commercialand non-commercial elements of themasterplan, and assess the extent to whichthe non-commercial proposals can besupported by commercial development. Inaddition, central costs such as the capitaland revenue components of the transportpackage and landscaping, which cannot beattributed to individual sites, must also befactored into the viability appraisals.The phasing of construction will be soughtthat as far as possible minimises the impacton existing businesses and adjoininglandowners. Routing agreements willbe considered to minimise the impact ofconstruction traffic on the surroundingarea and existing occupied properties.Phasing of demolition will be sought tomaximise reuse of material arising onsite and minimise the need to transportmaterial off site. Where material is to betransported off site the rate of the releaseof the material and the impact on localmarkets will be taken into account.

The spaces wouldhave varying character and treatment asindicated below:Hangars East aviation settingThe setting of the aviation hangars atHangars East will be largely unchanged,comprising a level, open landscape, withareas of both managed and unmanagedgrassland.
