Mixed-use Introduction

Stephen George + Partners has extensive experience of the masterplanning, design and delivery of mixed-use developments. Our schemes have ranged widely in size, composition and style; each a resolution of their unique site, brief and local planning policy. In each instance, the masterplan down to the detail design is considered as part of its wider context, both culturally and commercially.

Often working on complex and diverse sites, we combine strong design skills with commercial realism to produce coherent, deliverable and sustainable strategies. We work closely with clients, planners, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure that each proposal provides an optimum solution; a solution that more than satisfies user requirements and statutory regulations, whilst also enhancing and contributing to the public realm. Many of our schemes have represented the ‘centre’ or ‘high street’ of development in a wider context; here we strive to develop focus and identity, resolving community and sense of place.

Mixed-use Experience


Dickens Heath Village Centre, SolihullWest Midlands


A thriving new village in the West Midlands

Dickens Heath is a vital and vibrant community. Its unique waterside development is linked with other residential zones through a sequence of static and dynamic urban spaces and pedestrian routes.

To maximise the diversity of the village, a wide range of mixed uses and activities have been accommodated, creating an environment of genuine quality and durability.

Stephen George + Partners was proud to be appointed masterplan architect for Dickens Heath, a dynamic new village in the West Midlands. Our task was to integrate 8,640 sq.m. (93,000 sq.ft.) of retail and commercial development alongside 462 dwellings.

The design of the residential element addresses a wide range of social needs, from studio apartments to large town houses. These form individual environments with distinct character to encourage community life.


Creating a modern and sustainable urban extension


Lawley District Centre, TelfordShropshire

The architectural composition and language is key to the development of this identity, with a view to generating a modern scheme of its time, which carefully references its local context in its use of massing and materiality.

Lawley District Centre is an animated central square which forms the heart of the Lawley ‘Urban Extension’ development, providing the main focal point for the four Lawley neighbourhoods.

Currently under design development, in close liaison with the client and various statutory bodies, Lawley District Centre will be a vibrant and active centre combining commercial, retail and community facilities and residential accommodation. These will include a supermarket, shops, offices, restaurants and pubs, a hotel, healthcare facilities and apartments. Beyond its rich provision of facilities, Lawley Square also sets out to contribute to the public realm, creating an identity and sense of place for Lawley, as well as a destination for the local and wider communities.


Buckshaw Village Centre, ChorleyLancashire

Buckshaw Village provides for the needs of the local population accommodating a broad range of occupier requirements; retail, restaurants, takeaways, food store, office, nursery and residential. The development aims to sustain the local economy, supporting property value and employment.

Situated close to Chorley, the site covers 7.5 ha (18 acres) and forms part of a larger urban village with planning permission for a mixture of uses: 2500 dwellings, railway station and a range of business and retail development.

The Village Centre is integrated into the wider development through road, cycle and footpath connections, serving the needs of the village conveniently and promoting sustainability through ease and accessibility.

A traditional urban design, it has a public square providing external cafe style dining; radiating streets with attention paid to vistas, and diminishing mass and scale moving away from the square.

Many of the apartments have balconies that interact with the street, providing natural surveillance to public spaces, leading to increased safety and security.

The style of the buildings reflects that of a small town covering periods from the 18th Century to the present day. Smaller retail / apartment blocks embody the familiarity of traditional architecture whilst in contrast, the larger food store, nursery and office have a contemporary architectural style that makes polite historical reference to the traditional elements of the scheme. An eclectic mix of architecture, composition and variation that establishes a unique identity for Buckshaw Village.


A regenerative and sensitive resolution to

a historic square

perimeter and enclosing the square, containing its activity. The style and use carefully integrate with the surrounding buildings, landscape and access routes. This is done with sensitive consideration of massing, height, division, architectural language and composition. The building is broken down into three terraced blocks, each with its own relevant response and character.

The result is a collection of buildings that enhance and complete a space, provide activity and life, without drawing focus away from the existing historic features of the Market Place.

Market Place Buildings, KetteringNorthamptonshire

The Market Place, Kettering, is an important historic square within the Kettering Town Centre conservation area, with a selection of listed and notable buildings in its vicinity.

As part of Kettering Borough Council’s Area Action Plan, The Market Place is undergoing regeneration, with a view to the creation of an identity for the area.

The ‘Market Place Buildings’ are a mixed-use terrace of buildings to the south side of the Market Place, with restaurant / café units at ground level, residential accommodation above and basement parking below.

The scheme generates life, activity and character for the square. The buildings also have an important physical contribution to The Market Place by completing the

The hub of community

Bannerbrook Park, Local Centre, CoventryWarwickshire

Bannerbrook Park Local Centre will provide for the needs of the local population by incorporating a range of occupiers to support the local community. These include a range of shops: a convenience store, residential accommodation, a doctors’ surgery, nursery and public house.

The park occupies 0.9 ha (2.2 acres) within a wider development which includes offices, industrial units and a mix of house types, commercial uses and open space. Buildings have been orientated to provide active frontages onto the spine road and to detract from the car parking located towards the centre of the site. Planting will form the site boundary, broken to allow safe pedestrian and cycle access into the site.

It is proposed that the doctors’ surgery, nursery and public house are single/two storey buildings relating to the surrounding housing with the retail/residential building

behind three storeys, raising the height of the built environment as it gets closer to the adjacent tower block. The apartments are arranged over the smaller retail units leaving the convenience store closest to the edge of the site single storey.

The apartments consist of one and two bedroom units with those fronting on to the heart of the Local Centre all featuring Juliet balconies to bring life to the façade. These residential frontages provide high levels of natural surveillance to the adjacent spaces, increasing safety and security.

The buildings defining the edge of the site will reflect the style of the adjoining residential areas with walls finished in facing brick. The ground floor of the mixed-use building towards the centre of the site will be finished in facing brick; the apartments above will be predominantly white render with blocks of coloured render and the balcony features adding interest to an otherwise flat elevation.


Sustainable design is used throughout; from the masterplan and its orientation to individual units, their materiality and their renewable energy sources. Environmental technologies combine with traditional local materials and robust elegant methods of assembly, to create a unique style and identity for Upton; a style that references its cultural context while being contemporary and progressive.

Upton sites F and G were designed to form a critical part of the ‘Upton Framework’, a large scale mixed-use development on the edge of Northampton.

Our scheme aims to provide a sustainable urban neighbourhood with a mix of accommodation types, size and environments; from town houses and apartments to mews cottages. Whilst the neighbourhood integrates with its surrounding sites, it also incorporates a well defined, mixed-use urban frontage, acting as a vibrant local centre and gateway channel to Northampton.

Retail Development, AshfordKent


The design of the building is intentionally modern and striking, creating a vibrant and attractive shopping area. To maximise parking, the store will be raised on stilts with the sales area at first floor level. Lifts and travellators will provide easy access to the sales floor from the surface level car parking below.

A sustainable and highly accessible location, Victoria Way already enjoys good road links and is well served by public transport, with convenient bus stops nearby and Ashford International railway station adjacent. Highway improvements will ensure easy access for all modes of transport.

With no other major supermarket in the Town Centre, a new foodstore here will dramatically improve the food shopping provision in Ashford.

With a sales area of 72,000 sqft the store will incorporate a full range of goods and services. It will also include a six-island petrol filling station, bringing competitively priced fuel in a convenient location.

As well as giving much greater choice and competition for food shopping, the new foodstore will create up to 300 new local jobs.

Creating a vibrant and attractive shopping area


The major infrastructure and enabling works that ensured the village centre, housing and industrial zones are easily accessible, have been sensitively masterplanned in conjunction with the design team to maximise development value and simplify the delivery of the scheme through realistic and appropriate phasing.

Large landscaping buffers reinforce the boundaries to provide screening for the residential development from the industrial units, whilst tree-lined access roads provide a striking visual impression upon entering and moving around the site.

The challenging design brief called for a new community encompassing residential and commercial development, including associated retail, recreation, community and education facilities. The site, adjacent to Junction 15 of the M1, occupies 40 ha (99 acres) of development land zoned for housing and 30 ha (74 acres) for employment, interlinked with generous country parks and greenways.

Through the establishment of a strong design framework, working closely with the client (a joint venture between Frogmore Developments Ltd and Prologis Developments Ltd) and the local authority, a balance between individual identity and overall unity has been achieved marrying both the residential and commercial zones of the development together.

Junction One, Rugby Retail ParkWarwickshire

Junction One is a modern retail and leisure park near Junction 1 of the M6. Stephen George + Partners was asked to design a high quality complex that linked the traditional and the modern. We delivered a successful design concept which now houses a multi screen cinema, retail terrace, health and fitness facilities, bowling alley and fast food restaurants. The park totals 13,935 sq.m. (150,000 sq.ft.).

The design of the cinema was influenced by 1930s Art Deco architecture, with curved entrance towers, ship’s balcony and masts, a theme that is carried through the site in the choice of external materials. The overall design style is consistent, unifying all buildings and aspects of the development.

The 14 ha (35 acre) development contains 20,000 sq.m. (215,000 sq.ft.) of retail development and restaurants anchored by a 10,000 sq.m. (108,000 sq.ft.) Asda superstore. The crisp barrel vaulted design creates a strong statement on this gateway site in the heart of the Cardiff Bay redevelopment area.

Ferry Road Retail Park, CardiffWales

Built on a former landfill site, this complex brownfield development contained numerous constraints that required a number of innovative design solutions to remediate the heavily contaminated site. Extensive infrastructure work was required both on and off the site, including the complete upgrading of the adjacent highway network.


Meridian Business & Leisure Park, LeicesterLeicestershire

Stephen George + Partners was appointed masterplanner and architect for this major development on the edge of Leicester at Junction 21 of the M1. Commissioned by Wilson Bowden Developments and starting in the late 1980s, the project has been completed over a 15 year period in three phases on a 81 ha (200 acre) site. The accommodation constructed included commercial offices, distribution and industrial units of various sizes and ranged from small SME units of a few thousand square feet area, to larger units for major national occupiers of over a hundred thousand square feet.

Large scale leisure complex, offices and distribution units

The largest single occupier is the Royal Mail, with a highly advanced Automated Processing Centre being built in phase three. Other well known occupiers included Jacobs Nabisco, Samworth Brothers, Owens Corning, Leander Petfoods, Peak Traffic, Boden and Parcelforce.

The leisure element of the development consists of a 4,000 sq.m. (43,055 sq.ft.) nine screen cinema, bowling alley, children’s soft play centre, David Lloyd fitness centre and numerous restaurants.


Resolution of a complex site

The development is located adjacent to the A45 and four miles from the M1 motorway and is a joint venture between The Commission for New Towns and Wilson Bowden Properties.

The retail element comprises 12 individual retailers in two phases, providing a total of 17,000 sq.m. (180,000 sq.ft.). The remainder of the site is subdivided into a number of car showroom outlets, together with Virgin Active health and fitness centre and a Jigsaw Day Nursery.

Riverside Retail Park, NorthamptonNorthamptonshire

Site constraints included resolving construction in the flood plain, securing adoption of a balancing lagoon and surface water pumping station, removal of a ransom strip and securing signatures for S106 and S278 agreement for off-site works to A45 interchange. This resulted in the commitment from the client of £6 million in infrastructure work before the building elements of the park could be addressed.

Stephen George + Partners was part of a successful team appointed by Powergen to develop this 36 ha (89 acre) former power station into a mixed-use retail and business park located on one of Nottingham’s main arterial routes.

Site constraints included the complex distribution of overhead and underground easements and geological faults, taking 20% of the site area. Contaminants including arsenic, mercury, coal combustion residue, asbestos fibre and methane required careful and comprehensive management.

Coherent and cohesive retail park

The development comprises 18,580 sq.m. (200,000 sq.ft.) retail park and 55,740 sqm. (600,000 sq.ft.) commercial space. A strong identity for the park has been achieved through a coherent and cohesive design scheme for the whole development.
