Commercial Case Study - Hengrove Park, Bristol

This 5.0 hectare brown field commercial development is situated on the outskirts of Bristol. Contemporary style buildings comprising a multiplex cinema, bingo hall, bowling alley, Travel Inn, themed diners and associated infrastructure surround the 1000 space car park. 

The Landscape Practice contributed conceptual site masterplanning and prepared detailed landscape and earthworks proposals to negotiate a planning approval and provided on site implementation administration.

Major earthworks around the perimeter of the site are formed from site overburden and designed to create native habitat areas. These form a contrasting soft edge to the formal aspects of the site core that has over 300 semi-mature trees mainly laid in bold, simple avenues. These not only contain and visually diffuse the large areas of hard surface parking but also signpost pedestrians directly and safely to the main building entrances. The result is a well organised site with effective and optimised use of space.
