Introduction

This Design and Access Statement has been prepared for Squarepeg in support of a detailed planning application to develop the vacant Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory site in Greenbank, East Bristol.

About the report

The statement is divided into sections that approximate to the sequence of the design process, and in line with accepted good practice.

Firstly the context is appraised, providing a brief study of the surrounding area. Then the site itself is examined in more detail to explain significant aspects such as topography, orientation and access.

With a secure understanding of the brief, context and site, key development principles and conceptual design options can then be identified. The scheme is then described in more detail, explaining uses, density, layout, scale, appearance, landscaping and access.
