introduction
The Pre-Planning Design Proposals are available to view below. The information is in five sections: site and brief development, key concepts, the proposals, precedents/details, and next steps. Once you have read through all of the information, there is a survey you can take to give your feedback.
For a more comprehensive and interactive experience, please visit the Interactive Exhibition where you can leave your comments directly on the plans and navigate the drawings by zooming in to see more detail as necessary. We strongly recommend taking the Interactive Exhibition in order to get the most out of information provided. You can also take the survey directly via this exhibition.
Pre-Planning design information
Section 1 - Site and Brief Development
In this section we look at the site and the brief for the project. It includes information on the site area, existing photos of the spaces, key policy behind the brief, a summary of the engagement that helped develop the brief further, and a summary of the key objectives of the design proposals.

Section 2 - Key Concepts
Section 2 looks at the key concepts behind the scheme. As this project evolved it became clear that pedestrianisation was an important aim and this section looks at the extent and impacts of trying to achieve a pedestrian-priority environment. There are also some precedent projects to give an idea of what this could look like for Kingsbury and Market Square.

Section 3 - Pre-Planning Design Proposals
Section 3 looks at the proposals for the whole site going into detail for Kingsbury, Market Square and also the space in-between the two of these. The sections starts with an overview plan to describe the scheme as a whole and then looks at each space in turn with an artist's impression, precedent, and detail plan for all three. The section concludes with a summary of the key objectives of the spaces.

Section 4 - Precedents and Details
In this section there are a number of image sheets that show ideas and inspiration for materials and elements that could be included in the design. These include: hard landscape materials, garden areas and planting types, trees, seating, interpretation, and lighting. There is also a diagram to explain the idea of a heritage and cultural spine that links the spaces together.
