Cyflwyniad

Mae’r Awdurdod yn gwahodd tendrau gan ymgynghorwyr dylunio cymwys a phrofiadol i adolygu’r potensial ar gyfer gwaith adfywio yng nghanol tref Bwcle. Gall yr ymgynghorydd arbenigol fod yn unigolyn, yn ymgynghoriaeth annibynnol, neu’n dîm o weithwyr proffesiynol cymwys.

Fel rhan o ddyheadau ehangach i ddatblygu a gwella Canol Tref Bwcle a’r hyn mae’n ei gynnig, mae Cyngor Sir y Fflint am gomisiynu dylunydd i asesu ac awgrymu amcangyfrif o gostau ar gyfer datblygu a chyflawni cynigion creadigol i ailddatblygu cynllun strydoedd ar gyfer canol tref Bwcle (yr ardal rhwng Ffordd Brunswick, neu a’r Draws i cyffordd â Ffordd Precinct lawr at Aldi). Mae’r tîm dylunio i ymgysylltu’n weithredol â Cyngor Sir y Fflint a sicrhau fod y gwaith arfaethedig yn bodloni’r gofynion datblygu dylunio a amlinellir ac unrhyw ganiatâd statudol angenrheidiol ac ati, ac awgrymu amcangyfrifon o gostau ar gyfer paratoi deunydd gweledol fydd yn arddangos y cynllun arfaethedig – ar ffurf sydd i’w gytuno gyda Chyngor Sir y Fflint

Yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf mae Bwcle wedi elwa o gynlluniau gwaith stryd a pharth cerddwyr newydd, ond mae amodau masnachu heriol yma, er fod poblogaeth fawr yn byw ar gyrion canol y dref.

Mae’r fanyleb hon ar gyfer amcangyfrif o gostau’r briff dylunio yn canolbwyntio ar gynyddu nifer yr ymwelwyr i’r dref, cynyddu’r amser y bydd pobl yn ei dreulio yma, a rhoi bywyd newydd i dref Bwcle drwy alluogi pobl i ymgysylltu â dyluniad stryd o ansawdd uchel, mannau gwyrdd, a defnydd manwerthu a phreswyl amgylchynol, gan dynnu ar y gymysgedd o fanwerthwyr, ac ystyried yr opsiynau o ran ardaloedd i gerddwyr yn unig ac ardaloedd nad ydynt yn benodol i gerddwyr. Mae’r prosiect hwn yn golygu ail-ddychmygu ac ail-ddylunio’r ardal a amlinellir i ddau ddyluniad manwl (i gerddwyr yn unig, ac nid i gerddwyr yn benodol) yn unol â chanllawiau, ac ystyried ffyrdd i annog trigolion, ac ymwelwyr, i ddod i dreulio amser yn yr ardal.

Mae’r fanyleb hon yn gofyn am:

(a) Asesiad ac awgrymiadau o amcangyfrifon o gostau ar gyfer y dewisiadau dylunio ar gyfer effaith a chanlyniad posib ac effaith dylunio ailgyflwyno traffig cerbydau i’r ardal, gan wneud y mwyaf o welliannau treflun i’r ardal o fewn ffiniau’r prosiect.

(b) Asesiad ac amcangyfrifon o gostau ar gyfer y dewisiadau dylunio ar gyfer effaith dylunio a’r canlyniad posib o ran cadw’r ardal i gerddwyr yn unig, gyda datblygiad newydd posib, eto gan wneud y mwyaf o welliannau treflun i’r ardal o fewn ffiniau’r prosiect.

Introduction

The Authority invites tenders from appropriately qualified and experienced design consultants to review the potential for regenerative action in Buckley town centre. The specialist consultant can be an individual, a standalone consultancy, or a team of appropriately qualified professionals.

As part of the wider ambitions to further develop and enhance Buckley Town Centre, and its offering, FCC seeks to commission a designer to develop and deliver cost sensitive creative proposals for a re-designed street scheme for Buckley Town Centre, detailed on the map titled ‘The Study area’ in Appendix A (the area bounded by Brunswick Road, from the Cross to its junction with Precinct Way down to Aldi). The design team is to proactively engage with FCC and ensure the proposed work meets the design development requirements detailed, any necessary statutory consents etc., and provide cost estimates for preparing visual material for the proposed scheme - in a manner to be agreed with FCC.

Buckley has benefitted from street works schemes and pedestrianisation in previous years, but has experienced challenging trading conditions, despite a large resident population around the periphery of the town centre.

This specification for cost estimates for suggested design brief is focussed upon increasing footfall, dwell time, and breathing new life into Buckley by engaging people with a mix of quality street design, green space, and blending with the surrounding retail and residential use. Drawing upon the mix of retailers, and taking into consideration pedestrianised and non-pedestrianised options, this project involves re-imagining and re-designing the outlined area into two detailed design plan options, (pedestrianised and non-pedestrianised) in line with guidance, and envisioning ways to encourage residents, and visitors, to engage with the area.

This specification seeks to:

(a) Assess and suggest cost estimates for design options for the impact and potential outcome and design impact of the reintroduction of vehicular traffic to the area, with maximisation of townscape improvements to the area within the project boundary.

(b) Assess suggest cost estimates for design options for the design impact and potential outcome for the retention of the pedestrianised area, with potential new development, again maximising townscape improvements to the area within the project boundary.
