regen01

Envision has been involved in a number of regeneration projects, prinicipally in the north west. Key clients include New East Manchester; Central Salford URC; Liverpool City Council; GMPTE; Sheffield City Council; Lancaster Science Park and the Lake District National Park. Our work has included masterplanning and implementation strategies; project management and coordination; and Development briefs.

Examples of the type and scope of work undertaken are illustrated below:

Brockhole Prospectus Project: New Visitor Attraction at Windermere

Client: Lake District National Park Authority

Envision was engaged by the Lake District National Park Authority to provide project management services and development advice in relation to a project which is seeking to provide an exemplary new visitor attraction on the shores of Lake Windermere. The project was focused on the restoration of the listed gardens at Brockhole, the refurbishment and part redevelopment of the house, the provision of a new jetty for steamers and the provision of a range of new attractions including high-ropes, water-sports, climbing wall, exhibition and outdoor event space, restaurant and café, retail. Steve Yates, David Williams and Kate Bailey worked on the project.

The work has included:

  1. commissioning of a range of studies examining: environmental issues, legal and property questions and infrastructure improvements;

  2. preparation and monitoring of project programmes and support for the preparation of a prospectus and associated material to attract developers and operators.

Central Park South Implementation Strategy

Client: New East Manchester Ltd/Manchester City Council

Envision members prepared an implementation strategy for the extension southwards of a new major Business Park which is the prime focus of employment development in the long term strategy for regenerating East Manchester.

Central Park South covers some 146 ha and is part derelict and part developed. The task was to develop:

  1. spatial strategy to identify the potential for regeneration and the key public sector interventions which are likely to be required to bring this about.

  2. A programming strategy which identifies both priorities and the critical sequence of interventions required for the successful regeneration of the area over 10-15 years.

  3. The identification of key projects.

  4. A comprehensive database of site information

The report was approved by New East Manchester in 2006 and continues to underpin the on-going development of Central Park South
