Character Appraisal


      Dan Roberts
  Lichfield District Council/
 Birmingham City University
Undertaking an Appraisal

survey is the first stage of the process

must decide on objectives from the outset

level of detail commensurate with scale of site/ area

spectrum of approach:
 personal or subjective

 democratic or objective
Methodology

reconnaissance

prioritise – full survey

‘training the eye’

the value of visual survey

gaining a ‘true impression’
Visual Survey

dividing and grouping the task
relationship with other aspects of (environmental) policy
feasibility of aims
some form of grading must take place

‘deliverability’        keep an eye on potential outcomes

for example, in town planning terms,
    from land use to spatial
    from control to management
Survey Content

context   through to   detail

3 broad elements:
 settlement/ landscape relationship

 townscape

 individual buildings



a visual survey will inform both spatial and character
   analyses
Spatial Analysis

interrelationship of spaces
   visual contribution
   relationship between public and private spaces
   qualities of space
   uses of space

key views and vistas
  in to/ out of the site and town
  the effect of high buildings
ref: ‘The Character of Towns’, by Roy Worskett
Character Analysis

discernable character zones/ areas
major and local areas of identity
sub-areas may overlap

assessment is more than (detailed) description; it must
  include evaluation of significance
must relate to ‘the whole’
needs to take account of change
Character Appraisal - Checklist
activity                past, present (future)
buildings               individual/ group value
details                 specific, local; materials
spaces                  urban, green

negative factors
neutral areas

general conditions
capacity for change     generic, specific
‘New’ Sites/ Sites for Redevelopment

connections with the wider pattern(s)

recognition/ retention of (any) features

views out/ across/ in to,     to inform routes and axis



using historic plans
MRG Conzen’s
    analysis of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Bird St car park site, Lichfield
Historic Plans
1884                    1914
A Contextual Approach

  achieving an effective balance:

  •   retaining the best of the past
  •   allowing for present needs
  •   devising for a desirable future
