Wakefield Westgate Station Reconstruction
Introduction
Introduction
This Design and Access Statement is prepared on behalf of the
Buckingham Group for Network Rail Tender for the
Reconstruction of Wakefield Westgate Station.
The Phase 1 scope of services are set out in Network Rail’s
Scope of design services for Wakefield Westgate Station
reconstruction prepared by Andy Martin.
Phase 1 of the contract shall deliver all design development
through to completion of detailed design (Grip 5 forms 001-
003 and all other products) design inclusive of obtaining Town
planning prior approval. The Grip 5 design shall of sufficient
detail to allow the development of a guaranteed maximum,
price for the phase2 project.
Phase 2 shall take the grip 5 approval, through ‘approved of
construction’ status to construction and commissioning.
For the successful delivery of the project there will be an
intensive period of liaison with the key stakeholders in the
project. The new station must satisfy their various requirements
and predicted future growth in passenger numbers to a level to
be agreed with Network Rail and East Coast Trains.
Design Philosophy
The re-development of Wakefield Station on a new site to the
North of the existing offers a unique opportunity to create a
fitting transport gateway to a changing city. This proposal
sets out strategies to provide a modern transport interchange
and aspires to create a tailored solution for all stakeholders
including Network Rail and Wakefield City. To achieve this
end the proposals have been refined to suit a rejuvenated city
with emphasis on the physical enjoyment of the spaces
created within a fully functional station.

Wakefield Westgate Station Reconstruction
Introduction
Opportunity
The existing station is blighted by poor design and
under-investment. The facilities hardly seem to cater for
staff or visitors in any meaningful way. The building fails
to deliver on accessibility with no simple disabled means
of getting to the West platform. These buildings are
remnants of the original station building and are
mediocre examples of this period of railway architecture.
The existing station will be remote from its new car
parking facility in the English City Funds provided
multi storey car park.
Relocating the station further along the platform to the
north will provide the following benefits:
• New modern station facility
• New ‘gateway’ to the City
• Adjacency to multi storey car parking facility Sketch Station development

Introduction Existing station Introduction Wakefield Westgate station is located between 174 miles 1376 yards to 176 miles 198 yards on the Doncaster, Marshgate Junction to Neville Hill East Junction line. The main station building is located at OS Ref SE 327 207. The existing station consists of car parking, taxi and drop off facility on the east side with a sixties station building. A single bridge connects to the west platform where the remnants of the original building form a link between Parliament Street and Lower Westgate to the platform. East station building design is sub-standard for the following reasons:- • First impression of Wakefield to rail travellers is poor. • Aesthetically challenged. • Functions – under Network Rail projected growth in passenger numbers, the buildings will be inadequate. • Bridge – near end of its design lift. Poor linkage. • Accessibility – no level access to east platform. • Canopies – functionally acceptable/aesthetically poor/question mark over longevity of this construction. • Visually confusion. • Limited retail opportunities. West station building design is sub-standard for the following reasons:- • Remnants of original station – visually poor. • Disjointed ineffectual spaces. • Circulation to Parliament Street bricked up from platform level. Network Rail advise staircase does not comply with current Building Standards. • No investment in current building evident.

Site location – surrounding context
Site Location & Description
The site identified for the new Wakefield Westgate Station
building and forecourt arrangement is a disused car park
Network
located to the north of the existing station buildings and
Rail
immediately to the south of the recently constructed multi- MSCP
storey car park located alongside the Leeds to Doncaster line,
intended predominantly for use by rail passengers. Access to County Hall
the station would be provided off a recently constructed road,
Mulberry Way, between Westgate and Burton Street.
New council
offices
There is a drop from Mulberry Way of up to 1.2m onto the site
depending on location. There is a fall towards platform 1 which
will be taken up in the new station design. There is a walkway
linking the MSCP and KDA area to platform 1 and the site is
predominantly tarmac over made ground. Proposals to
maintain access between platform 1 and the MSCP during
construction are included in the Contractors proposals for the
development and will be agreed to a standard suitable for the
East Coast and Network Rail. Residential
The site is wholly within Network Rail ownership. There are two

that they brought no on going value to the scheme. The Wakefield
intention would be to re use brickwork from their careful Westgate
demolition to build a replacement wall along this boundary with
refurbished Sandstone copings to match.

Introduction
Understanding the site –
The site is strategically located to the benefit of its
intend use under the Master plan developed by
WMDC and Muse developments.
Wakefield Station redevelopment has been designed
to be the centrepiece of the Westgate Key Market
Development Area. This has taken shape over the last
four years in a comprehensive modernisation of Trinity Walk
former railway sidings and industrial sites between the
railway and County Hall. New council offices, private
residential, speculative offices and retail have been
provided tied together by an extensive Civil’s
Infrastructure development.
The KDA area now known as Merchant Gate, the
Waterfront development, the Barbara Hepworth
Gallery and Trinity Walk have been established in
Wakefield over recent years as the city has become
cosmopolitan.

Introduction Understanding the site - topography Topography The site’s topography on the South West flank of a ridge is principally forged by man. The majority of the site was a rail goods yard and is generally level with the elevated track bed of the East Coast main rail line. The site rises sharply to the west and north, either through retaining walls or natural escarpment, with the famous Wakefield skyline surmounting the ridge line. The ex- railgoods yard and existing station area have distorted natural levels which are evident from the ‘original’ site levels of the ‘Orangery’ (off Back Lane) and Pemberton Housing fronting Westgate. The current site topography with the existence of retaining structures, forms a physical barrier between the main body of the site and the City Centre, which requires addressing as part of the master plan proposals.
Introduction Understanding the site – historical context
Introduction
Understanding the site – historical context Site currently used……
Much of the historical urban grain of the KDA site,
particularly to the Westgate frontage has been
destroyed over the past 100 - 150 years.
The arrival of the railway, and its subsequent growth
to East Coast mainline status, together with Westgate
Station (both Victorian and present) led to the
destruction of the historical burgidge plots that ran
off Westgate.
Today we are left with important but dissociated
fragments.
The settings of the ‘Westgate Group’, namely
Pemberton House, the Unitarian Chapel, the
Orangery and the Library, are compromised by
both loss of adjoining fabric and distortion of levels
owing to the ‘fill’ to the station site.
The framework plan seeks to mend the fabric by both
built form and landscape interventions. New frontage
blocks and infill blocks are placed to be sympathetic
to the historical grain.
It is proposed that the ‘station fill’ is removed which
allows there-connection of space between Westgate
and the Orangery.
A new public park opens up vistas to the Orangery
and providesa much improved setting for the historic
OS Map - 1914 OS Map - 1991 group. Gaps are left on the Westgate frontage to
allow glimpses of vistas through.
As part of the vehicular/pedestrian infrastructure
works, it is proposed to close Back Lane to through
traffic, making it access only and re-surface the road
to be a shared surface, thus improving pedestrian
connections.
The setting of County Hall will be improved by
reducing Burton Street to a single lane, thus
increasing footways, whilst a proposed office
block re-forms the street frontage to Burton Street.

Introduction Understanding the site – future development One of three major regeneration town centre projects in Wakefield, the Westgate Development Area (KDA) has been identified as one of the most important City Centre development sites in the region. It provides an exciting opportunity to create a new and prosperous quarter of the city centre including Wakefield Westgate Station, the former Express Dairy site and the former railway goods yards. The scheme has been developed through close collaboration with Wakefield District Council, Network Rail and local groups to form a cohesive development plan which uses both physical connections and vistas to create both identity and sense of place. The master plan proposes relocating Westgate Station to create a new gateway into the town center and create a heart to the project. The master plan incorporates the concept of the ‘emerald ring’ (streets for people) and overcomes highway problems by the creation of a one way system. The scheme will create a new commercial quarter of the city, including 29,675 sq m ( 323,500 sq ft) of offices, and 23,500 sq m (256,000 sq ft) of residential, retail and leisure elements including bars, cafes, restaurants and a five storey hotel. Outline planning consent was granted in 2005 and the master plan was ratified by all stakeholders in July 2006. As master planners, Leeds studio ultimate vision has been the creation of a sustainable and vibrant new quarter for Wakefield. The combination of a quality mixed use development and the integration of improvements to the infrastructure, including the Westgate railway station, will lead to a significant improvement in facilities and enhance visitors’ first impressions of Wakefield.

Concept – Testing the brief
The architectural concept is to produce the highest standard
contemporary design and hence an exemplary customer facility.
Considered modern design, allied with White Young Green’s
engineering improvements, should positively encourage increased
passenger numbers.
The plan optimises circulation into and within the Station. It has a
rational displacement of accommodation for different uses and
functions within a united form.
It subtly relates to its immediate context, orientation, the general
cityscape and integrates significant views of County Hall, Town Hall
and Cathedral. We have taken cues from local landmarks and the
site topography.
Forecourt design
Concept BreakdownWakefield Westgate Station Reconstruction Concept Early concept ideas – animated Sculpture Barbara Hepworth (1903-75). Born and raised in Wakefield and became one of the 20th Centuries most eminent international sculptors'. Her early work was shaped by her years in Yorkshire which she says: ‘disciplined me to the life of form and sculpture’ Best know for creating beautiful flowing and rhythmic sculptures in wood, marble or bronze, often influenced by organic shapes and the contours of nature. Henry Moore (1898-1986). Sculptures on a monumental scale and particularly in the open air. Born in Castleford he became one of the great post war British Sculptors'. Barbara Hepworth Wakefield Station Design Concept – Animated Sculpture Wakefield’s rejuvenation has produced a city of diverse commercial and cultural opportunities. A home for sculpture, theatre, shopping, commerce and education and much more in a vibrant city. Its position on the mainline with direct access from London and Scotland has played a major role in this rebirth. Merchant Gate, the Waterfront development, the Barbara Hepworth Gallery and Trinity Walk are testament to these changes. Following appraisal we judged that the way Wakefield now proudly sees itself should be mirrored in the architecture of the Station. To this end we intend that the architecture should reflect the rich cultural attributes of the area. For the Arts, the tradition of Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park are referenced. In the establishment of a brand new station, the entrepreneurial nature of its inhabitants and investors is demonstrated. In the flowing forms of the glazing to the foyer we looked closely at the natural forms created by Barbara Hepworth. For the organic roof light penetrations, the way in which she created smooth space through solids to emphasise structures and form. The rise to the bridge is enclosed under a generous and well lit lantern which connects the various elements to the platform.
Wakefield Westgate Station Reconstruction Concept – Early concept ideas The materials selected for the project underline the concept. Two smooth black ceramic walls delineate the station. The wall to the forecourt is a smooth natural curve. Set against the black ceramic brick we propose weathered brass, a sustainable material showing the patina of age and a reference to the spirit of the sculptures of local artist Henry Moore. Vistas – From the station entrance key views are generated in line with the master plan of County Hall dome and Town Hall tower. From the end of the bridge a framed picture window captures views towards Emley Moor TV transmitter the highest free standing structure in UK. Physical connections – the position of the new development allows for exceptional pedestrian access via a network of routes through the KDA master plan. The direct access is through Burgage square, the most direct route to the City. Vehicular considerations are encompassed by taking a traffic off Mulberry Way in a clearly defined in and out arrangement and the position is ideal for the Network Rail MSCP. Arrival and departure by train will be enhanced by the free flowing legible spaces that are formed in the new station design. Bold material choices and warmth through vibrant design should enrich passenger experience. A pleasant place to wait and a new hub to travel from are envisaged.

Access – Vehicle & Pedestrian Movement part 1 It is proposed that a section 278 agreement will need to be
reached with WMDC for the formation of an ‘in’ and ‘Out’ access
off the one way system on Mulberry Way. From analysis this
appears to be the most prudent way of achieving safe access and
egress for vehicles using the station. The design takes these
points on either side of the bus stop on Mulberry way taking
them as far as feasibly possible from the existing pedestrian
crossing.
A two vehicle drop off is proposed adjacent to the pedestrian
access into the north part of the foyer. This point has suitable
adjacency and convenience for station users and for security
purposes is kept as far from the main foyer entrance as possible.
Cycle store
See BTP advice from Grip stage 3. Network Rail management of
the drop off is essential to the smooth running of the facility.
Bus replacement
A taxi rank for 15 vehicles is provided in line with Network Rails
brief. This is centrally located with parking at a safe distance
from the main foyer entrance. It is proposed that a Glass and
Taxi powder coated aluminium cover taxi rank is provided for the
length of the waiting area.
Four number disabled parking spaces are provided adjacent the

station for use by standard and high top disabled vehicles. This
brings disabled persons to a more acceptable distance than the
MSCP. The majority of disabled provision is within the MSCP at
23 spaces.
Two space bus replacement parking is provided beyond the taxi
area with a clear route from the station foyer. This space also
doubles as operating space for the free Wakefield Access bus

WMDC highways will be required to finalise the detail of the
proposal and any amendments that maybe required to the
existing bus stop.
Pedestrian Access to platforms during construction
It is assume that for the duration of the Construction process
pedestrian access will be provided from the MSCP to the East
platform by a short protected route hugging the Engineering
buildings at the North end of the site. This is the most direct
route. To be reviewed with WMDC architectural liaison officer
for security purposes and provided in accordance with the
TOC’s requirements. It is envisaged that ticket machines may
need to be moved to suit the arrangement. Network Rail
access to be maintained, therefore, management of the route
and any cross overs will be required by the Contractor during
construction.

Sustainability has also been a driving factor in design. The pictogram to the left indicates
Sustainability the way in which the strategy has been investigated. The following page
diagrammatically indicates the sustainable strategies that have been incorporated within
the design proposals. Some options under these headings which could be further
investigated during the next design stage of the project. Incorporated Items as follows:
1. Mass ,Form and Orientation – The form and massing of the new station building have
been designed to provide the most sustainable design. Most importantly decisions have
been made with regards the roof cape to form a consistent sheltering form. It has been
designed to accept other sustainable features should the need arise. For instance it
could accept an intensive green roof or Heat pipe solar collectors. This would also
contribute to rainwater attenuation and give the possibility of Grey water harvesting for
staff and public tiolets. The South East orientation is favourable for daylighting and
passive heating.
2. Natural lighting – Glazing to key Elevations provides good levels of daylight to the
Concourse areas at Ground and first floors minimising the use of artificial lighting.
3. .Natural Ventilation – Combination of automated low and high level openings to the
concourse area should provide good levels of natural ventilation to compensate for heat
gains throughout the year but most importantly in the summer. Network rail areas
should also benefit from natural ventilation.
4. Exposed mass – The soffit of the concourse could be used to create exposed mass
given the correct treatment and hence used to moderate temperatures and as a heat
store.
5. Solar Shading – The south and West elevations have the option of solar shading which
could be incorporated at design stage or retro fitted given the advantageous design.
6. Glazing Specification – The provision of glazing with high visible light transmittance and
low emissivity is essential to reducing heat loss from the main circulation areas. Special
attention should be given to the Western glazing on the new station building to reduce
glare and we would recommend consideration of Pilkington Suncool in grey ,or similar,
providing 24% light transmittance and a good light/heat ratio..M&E engineer to specify
glazing in line with design proposals.
7. Insulation – to higher requirements that the building regulations has been considered for
key areas. These include the roof which could be highly insulated and the Network rail
‘back of house areas which could be insulated to a higher standard.
8. Artificial Lighting – Low energy light fittings to be fully considered as part of the design
development.
9. Photo voltaic – the proposal incorporates 38 Number PV’s roof mounted on the
southern roof.Wakefield Westgate Station Reconstruction

Sustainable Drainage methods - Suds
Planning Policy guidance calls for Suds on all developments wherever
possible. Government’s new water strategy, Future Water, will require
surface water management plans and call into question the automatic
ability to connect into the public sewer. In order to attenuate rain water
run off from the hard standing areas concrete block permeable paving
has been considered. This acts as a drainage system as well as
supporting traffic flows.
