Farrells

Earls Court Masterplan

The Earls Court Masterplan, created approximately 2010, created four villages and a high street as the main place-making concept for the site. The four ‘villages’ were Earls Court, West Brompton, North End and West Kensington. In the masterplan Terry Farrell and Partners proposed a north-south orientation for the 21st century high street. This changed to an east-west orientation at a later masterplan concept stage, from North End Road to the east to Earls Court Station in the West. As part of this change Broadway was proposed as the main north-south route running through the site. For this reason, some of the design sketches are branded “BW” (not to be confused with Bluewater).

Dissington

In 2011 Farrells produced a series of initial strategies and a masterplan for a residential development on the Dissington Estate and adjoining Birney Hall just outside of Ponteland. Its principles were based on that of the 'eco town', or 'green village,' principles of the Bicester masterplan.

Alexandra Palace

In 2012-2013 Farrells were involved in masterplanning a revival of Alexandra Palace as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Alexandra Palace is a Victorian Grade II listed entertainment venue which was initially conceived of in 1859 as 'The Palace of the People.'

In 2012 it was reported that over half the building was derelict or out of use. The masterplan had distinctive objectives: to connect the edge of the building with the surrounding parkland, to make the building fully accessible by enhancing connectivity across the building from east to west, and from the south entrance. This involved improved access through Palm Court, West Hall, Great Hall, Ice Skating Rink, BBC Wing and Theatre. Finally, 3 key regeneration projects for distinct segments of the building were identified (a new hotel, upgrading the great hall, and opening up the derelict spaces, such as the theatre and the BBC wing). A public consultation process was included in development of the masterplan to rank the items of revival in terms of importance.

Newcastle Gateshead

Between 2009-2011, the Newcastle Gateshead City Development Company was founded as a regeneration and investment organisation to encourage investment specific Newcastle and Gateshead city areas. It received a funding of £500,000 a year from each of its three partners (Newcastle City Council, Gateshead Council, and the One North East regional development agency).

In July 2010 announced that Farrells were the preferred tenderer for the ‘Developing Newcastle Gateshead’ contract to oversee the development of the Newcastle-Gateshead 1Plan – an economic and spatial strategy for Newcastle-Gateshead. Among the capital projects proposed by the plan were: (1) The creation of the North-east’s first International Conference and Exhibition Centre as part of the regeneration of Gateshead Quays, with a mix of uses including homes, offices, leisure and retail; (2) The next phase of development in the Ouseburn cultural quarter, including between 60 and 80 new homes in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency using £4 million Public Land Initiative funding; (3) The acceleration of the development of Science Central (creation of 40,000 square metres of office and teaching space pre-let by Newcastle University Business School, along with a £30 million student village), a project already underway by Downing Developments.

In September 2011, following cuts to council budgets, and the abolishment by central government of One North East, Newcastle and Gateshead councils announced this scheme would be replaced by a "business development commission" which would work with the marketing agency Newcastle-Gateshead.
