PRINCIPLES AND PARAMETERS - Pinewood Studios

PARAMETERS EXPLANATION48 Pinewood Studios Development Framework | PRINCIPLES AND PARAMETERS9 - The ‘maximum effect’As stated in the opening part of this explanation the limits ofdeviation do not allow for a bigger development than is describedby the development zones parameter table. Nevertheless it hasbeen important to understand the plot area deviations as part oflandscape and visual impact assessment.LikelyFootprint (L)In theory, a plot could expand by up to 20m along its length andwidth. In practice, the limits set in the parameter tables preventbuilding masses from occupying their entire building plot. Themaximum effect has been modelled along the principles set outbelow for the development of verified views. Refer to the ES forverified views.LIKELY CASEPlot area (P)MAXIMUM EFFECT VOLUMEMaximum area (A)The maximum effect envelope for buildings in any plot is definedby extending the edges of the volume to the points of maximumdeviation.The likely building mass has been modelled and sits within thatvolume. Alternative building positions and shapes could existanywhere within that theoretical envelope - but only up to themaximum footprint area, and maximum GEA allowed within theparameter tables.maximum effectVolumeIt would not possible to develop a scheme where all plots arebuilt to their maximum effect envelope because of the principle ofequilibrium outlined above.MAXIMUM EFFECT VOLUME IS GREATER THAN OR EQUALTO LIKELY CASE AND IS EXAGGERATED FOR THE PURPOSESOF THESE DIAGRAMS
