The aspirational former quarry site at Hooe Lake has been designed to integrate with its waterside location. Once developed it will have a distinct sense of place and strong identity.

Site Masterplan
Pedestrian movement is considered an important part of the
design process, accordingly pedestrian routes to POS, riverside
walk, Turnchapel and existing public transport nodes are easily
accessible by foot.
Cycle routes surrounding the site are at present limited. There
are no national routes to link into. As
a result cyclists will be expected to use the highway routes to
travel.
Vehicular movement is clear. The highways are car friendly as
a result of using the LPA’s highway design guide as a basis for
highway design.
Wherever desirable, the footpaths are detached from the
highway to promote more direct and convenient pedestrian
footpaths. Similarly, the highway has been adapted to be more
varied and irregular to promote a more organic street that
better responds to the enclosing built form.

Access Routes
Pedestrian links and the loop road offer easy access from any part of the site back to the site access. From here, people can easily get to the local bus stop by foot. The closest bus stop is at the junction of Hooe and Barton Road within 800metres of the site.

This layout is indicative of the treatments used within the hard landscaping design strategy.
Not illustrated in the plan, but are included in the design strategy for strategy for hard landscaping are elements such as footpath and street furniture. They are intended to provide access routes through open spaces to informal play opportunities, while people can meet neighbours in a safe and comfortable environment.
