Proposed Plans & Elevations

Ground Floor Plan

The layout was developed around a number of key principles:

• Allow for quick access by operational staff to the Muster & Appliance Bay• Offices to the front of the plan to present a professional and clean face

to the Fire Station. This will also allow for passive observation of the entrance

• Incorporate safe clean storage for SRT equipment

First Floor Plan

The first floor layout has been developed around a number of key principles;

• Allow for quick access to the Muster & Appliance Bay• Support operational standby and training uses of the fire station• Activate the front façade to the passing public.• Quiet rooms have been kept away from the noisy standby and internal

training spaces.• Rear managers office permits observation and overlooking of the

training yard and parking area

Elevations

The design of the elevations has been developed around a number of key principles:

• Integration within the Conservation Area• Use of local materials where possible• Enhanced public street frontage• Enhancement of the DSFRS ‘brand’ and colour

Planning Application

As part of an ongoing investment into the physical assets that support our operational delivery, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service (DSFRS) are pleased to advise that a planning application is being submitted to Torbay Council on 22nd January for the complete replacement of the existing Brixham Fire Station located in Bolton Street.

For a number of years that existing building has been deteriorating despite regular remedial work and it has now reached the end of its economic life. Access to the station for Fire vehicles was difficult and sometimes caused traffic disruption in the street and in addition the station was known to flood in times of heavy downpour causing damage to the station and equipment.

As such a modern station, to meet the demands of our service delivery and the needs of the local community has been designed which we hope will become a landmark building for Brixham.

What have been the challenges?A number of challenges have faced the project team during the design process:

• The new building needed to be modern yet fit into an existing streetscape.

• Two major foul and storm water sewers run under the existing site limiting the position of the new station.

• The site is an infilled pond that used to serve the watermill• The site is in an conservation area.

What was expected of the new station design?The £1.8million project has been designed to:

• Enhance, reflect and complement existing architecture in Bolton Street

• Be of efficient construction utilising traditional and• modern materials• Be operationally efficient• Make a positive contribution to the environment maximising

where possible the use of renewable energy sources.• Minimise the energy use and operating costs of the station and

reduce its carbon footprint.• Balance quality of design with cost to ensure good whole life

public investment whilst meeting the operational needs of the DSFRS Fire and Rescue Plan.

How has that been achieved?Utilising a mixture of modern cladding finishes, traditional stonework and glass the design for the station makes a valuable contribution to the architectural heritage. The high glass partial façade shows off stonework that mirrors that used across the road on the mid 19th Century National School building (now the Salvation Army). In addition that Victorian building will be reflected in the glazed stairwell. Simple plain finishes inside the building will complement the traditional materials whilst controlling the construction and maintenance costs of the building. Planting of a new cherry tree at the front of the station will continue to soften the streetscape and the existing tree will be retained and incorporated into more of a public area.

To soften the impact of the station the traditional large red doors of a Fire Station have been replaced with partially glazed doors with minor red highlights being used elsewhere, together with appropriate signage, to identify the station.

To reduce the energy cost of the building the design team have been instructed to meet and then surpass the standards required by the national Building Regulations. Solar panels will be installed on a sloping roof and the heating systems will be fed by air source heat pumps to make a positive contribution to the environment.

Safer egress and access to the site has been designed that will reduce the risk from traffic movements onto/off Bolton Street.

The final design is the output of many months of close working between the DSFRS Estates team, professional designers and our Brixham station crew to ensure that the final building will provide an effective operational service and efficient use of our resources.

What will be happening during the construction and how long will it take?Operational functionality will be maintained throughout the duration of the project by relocating the station to a temporary facility elsewhere that allows DSFR to continue to respond effectively.

It is presently planned that demolition and construction works will commence during the summer months of 2019 with completion planned for late Spring 2020.

Additional Information

History & Development

The existing Brixham Fire Station is located on Bolton Street in the heart of Brixham town. The Brixham Neighbourhood Plan Town Design Statement refers to Bolton Street as an important and historical link road between Brixham Town and Higher Brixham:

“Bolton Street links the medieval Doomsday village of Higher Brixham with the town centre at Bolton Cross; it is set in a narrow valley whose former streams fed both the corn mill and the 18th century Naval Reservoir. The west side is largely commercial but the east side has some good 19th century and earlier residential buildings, a number listed, set above street level and enclosed by railings. Later 19th century streets run parallel up the valley sides with some larger late Victorian/Edwardian seaside villas on Parkham Hill. “

The Torbay Conservation Officer noted in a Pre-Application advice note:

The existing fire station is a thirties building with typical parapets and pediment of the period, unfortunately all the material differentiation and the once polychrome panels have been obscured by the all-over white painting, and the insertion of much later doors. Thus it is not denoted a key building in the Brixham Town CA. It is also somewhat isolated on its site with the demolition of the ambulance station to its south, and other buildings to the north. There are no adjacent key buildings to the north or south on the west side of Bolton Street. However, opposite the Salvation Army citadel, the hall of the former mid-19C National School is a very fine limestone building with polychrome brickwork detailing; a good later-19th. Century terrace 66-72 Bolton Street is attached to its south side.

The Map of 1862 reveals that the site was previously a dammed pond for the Corn Mill located just downstream of the site. By 1905 the Mill pond had been filled in and other buildings had been constructed on the site. The Mill itself had been demolished and replaced by the Brixham UDC Waterworks.

A terrace of four houses had been constructed opposite the site adjacent to the Salvation army church building. The site remained relatively unchanged on the map of 1938 with the F.E. Station located in a building to the south of the current location.

By 1973 The adjacent building formerly the ambulance station had been demolished and the Fire Station had relocated to the current building opposite the Salvation Army church building. There has been some small additions and modifications made to the current building and these have not enhanced the architectural significance of the building.

The Brixham Fire Station has been located on this site for a significant length of time and it remains the best available option within the local vicinity for an ‘on call’ fire station despite the site constraints and challenges. Alternative locations have been investigated.

Landscape, Ecology & Biodiversity

The proposals do not adversely affect the existing landscape, and if anything, they are an improvement and will provide an enhanced, accessible public realm.The proposed building will be set back from the road, together with utilizing the previously overgrown courtyard in the NE corner of the site, two areas of hard landscaping with public benches and new trees will be provided. The improvements proposed to the front entrance area are to improve the levels and make it more accessible/DDA compliant. Existing levels around the station have historically shown some movement.

Hard Landscaping - The nature of the building use determines that large areas of vehicular priority hard surface are needed for the access and maintenance of the Fire service appliances. This requires a durable and easily maintained finish. This will therefore be specified as Bitmac or concrete. The areas that are predominantly pedestrian focused will be specified as a high quality modular paving, or cobblestones suitable for the Conservation Area status. Low level walls that help to articulate the change in levels associated with the site gradients and level changes will be faced with a suitable stone facing that matches the façade of the new building, and where possible is reclaimed from demolition of the existing stone walls.

The boundary walls to the south will remain unchanged and unaffected by the design proposals.

Ecology & Biodiversity - This report, prepared by EcoLogic Consultants concluded that there are no bats, or signs of bat use identified within the existing station, nor were any current or former birds nests found. The report recommends biodiversity enhancements, in line with the National Planning Policy Framework, and it is proposed as part of this application that bat boxes, sparrow boxes and bee bricks will be provided.

The ecology report recommends that these enhancements are installed within the external walls of the building,however due to the envisaged potential constant use, and the need to maintain a fully operational station at all times, it is proposed to locate them within the existing banked and wooded area to the west and north west of the site.

Sustainability

Design Approach - The design approach for mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) services has been based upon DSFRS’sSustainable Design Code for DSFRS Buildings and Engineering Systems and the general approach of ‘Lean, Clean and Green’ where energy loads are first reduced, then remaining loads are met via renewable and then low energy systems.1. Minimising energy demand by incorporating fabric high level of improvements on that of the Building Regulations,

and passive measures as far as possible2. Ensuring any active measures are efficient3. Using low and zero energy generation if necessary to meet the targets.

Fabric Efficiency / Passive Measures - U-values and air permeability will exceed the minimum values required by Building Regulations Part L. This will improve user comfort and passively reduce energy loads and subsequent carbon emissions. The new building fabric will be designed to be a thermally efficient as possible, and in line with Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Services sustainable design strategy, will be an improvement upon the minimal requirements of the Building Regulations Approved Documents.

Energy Efficient Building Services - New, modern, efficient systems will be installed which will incorporate energy controls and monitoring.

Space Heating - Space heating is proposed to be provided by energy efficient air source heat pumps (ASHPs). The electricity for the ASHPs will be provided via roof mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels.

Hot Water - Hot water will be provided by point of use, low volume electric hot water heaters and showers to minimise standing losses associated with high volume water storage and secondary circulation systems. The electrical energy required will maximise use of the PV panels.

Ventilation - The design maximises the use of natural ventilation, meaning that only minor mechanical extract ventilation for toilets or for process requirements (such as vehicle exhaust extract) is required.

Mechanical Cooling - Passive measures have been incorporated to minimise overheating risk, utilising insulation and glazing specification.

Lighting - New low energy efficient LED lighting will be provided, with controls that will be based upon daylight and occupancy detection throughout the building. External lighting will be operated by photocell.

Low Zero Carbon Technologies & Renewables - Photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps will be used as primary low/zero energy sources to minimise the building’s carbon emissions, whilst providing a functional building that meets the needs of the DSFRS for years to come.

In-Use Energy Consumption & Soft Landings - Energy monitoring via a BMS (Building Management System) will allow in-use energy to be monitored from meters and analysed / compared against benchmarks. This will allow the client to look for ways of further reducing consumption and adjustments made to plant settings, as part of a seasonal commissioning process, to align the new systems with the building needs.
