    Loten Quarry Restoration Masterplan

    This long and narrow quarry operation, located to the west of Stockholm, lies adjacent to a large body of water which offers the intriguing possibility of promoting the land ‘post extraction’ as a series of development parcels. DBLC have prepared a series of initial conceptual masterplans for different parts of the site to engage board level interest in the potential of the site for such long term use of the land.

  • Portland Mine Entrance Development

    Portland Mine Entrance Development

    DBLC are working with Portland Stone Firms Ltd. to investigate whether a mine access road, stocking area and portal entrance can be established on land to the immediate southeast of the village of Southwell, on Portland, Dorset. This land is constrained by a multitude of environmental designations including the Dorset & East Devon Coast World Heritage Site, SAC and SSSI areas, as well as the South West Coast Path long distance footpath and close proximity of a number of residential properties.

    DBLC has prepared a number of 3d construction models in order to explore the feasibility of various design options for the scheme and will be preparing phased working and restoration plans as well as a comprehensive LVIA report in the near future.

    Moons Hill Quarry Proposed Tips: Construction and Restoration Scheme

    Working in close collaboration with LMM Ltd and the client, DBLC successfully obtained planning permission for an ambitious scheme to construct four significant tip landforms on rural land surrounding the quarry, located in the heart of the Mendip Hills.

    DBLC undertook extensive 3d design work, including a phased series of tip construction models to illustrate noise/visual attenuation measures and progressive restoration works in response to significant concerns voiced by local residents and the Mineral Planning Authority. Other work included the preparation of a ZTV study and LVIA report, restoration/aftercare strategy and illustrative photomontages.
  • Fletton Quays

    Fletton Quays

    Fletton Quays is an ambitious mixed use development in the heart of Peterborough, on the site of an old industrial facility on the southern bank of the River Nene. The scheme will provide a 150 bed hotel, new office facilities, a museum and a restaurant associated with former railway buildings. DBLC worked in collaboration with Corylus Planning & Environmental Ltd. to undertake a Townscape and Visual Appraisal, looking at the potential effects of the development on the existing setting and the historic city skyline, including Peterborough Cathedral.

    A series of 3d models were created from which wireline photomontages were produced from a number of key viewpoints to illustrate the built massing and the relationship of the proposed structures with the surrounding townscape features. The planning application was successful and construction works are nearing completion.
  • Cleveland Lakes Restoration Masterplan

    Cleveland Lakes Restoration Masterplan

    Set within the heart of the Cotswold Water Park, Cleveland Lakes is an ambitious leisure and recreational development set around lakes formed by gravel raising and on land reclaimed by inert infilling. Working with the Cotswold Water Park Trust, DBLC prepared a concept masterplan for the site as well as cross sections, 3d landform design and volume calculations. The project is ongoing and further iterations to the design and layout of the scheme are likely to be required. Concept Restoration Masterplan PDF
