PAST CHANGES

The maps illustrate some changes that were made to a city hospital's transport infrastructure
between the years 2007 and 2010.
It is noticeable that three main modifications were made to the hospital’s vehicle access.
These involved the building of a new bus station, new roundabouts and new parking facilities.
Looking at the changes in more detail, we can see that in 2007 there were three bus stops on
either side of Hospital Road. These were no longer present in 2010, and instead we see the
addition of a bus station on the west side of Hospital Road. This bus station is accessed via two
new roundabouts; the first roundabout is at the intersection of City Road and Hospital Road,
while the second is at the other end of Hospital Road, at the junction with the hospital ring
road.
The two maps also show that changes were made to public and staff parking areas. In 2007,
staff and visitors used the same car park, which was situated to the east of Hospital Road and
accessed via the ring road. However, by 2010 this original car park had become a designated
area for staff parking only. A new car park, located on the east side of the ring road, provided
parking for members of the public.
 PAST CHANGES
Band 7
The maps illustrate the developments that
occurred in Denham to the East of River Stoke
since 1986.
As can be seen from the maps, the town has
become significantly more residential. The most
noticeable change is the construction of new
roads and homes along the roads, while
farmland entirely disappears inthe present map.
However, the bridge and the post office remain
unchanged over time.
Turning to the north of Denham, a number of
individual houses have been added along two
newly constructed roads in the place of the two
old shops and the farmland. In addition, the
primary school has been enlarged with the
appearance of two new wings.
Moving south, the gardens of the large house
have gone almost completely, leaving a small
garden in front of a retirement home which has
been enlarged. A new residential area to the
east of the post office and individual houses
took the place of farmland along the River Stoke.
The two maps below show the
changes in the town of Denham from
1986 to the present day.

Band 9
The maps illustrate the developments that have
occured to the East of River Stoke since 1986.
Overall, Denham has become significantly more
residential. The most noticeable change is the
construction of new roads and a large number of
private homes, replacing mostly existing
farmland. The bridge and post office remain
unchanged while the large house and school
have been developed.
Turning to the detail, to the North of the village,
a number of new houses have been built along
two newly constructed roads in the place of old
shops, houses and farmland. In addition, the
centrally located primary school has been
enlarged with the appearance of two new wings.
Moving South, a large house has been extended
to create a large retirement home, and its
garden has been removed to make way in part
for a new large housing development of around
30 new houses including a new road.
 FUTURE CHANGES
The plans below show the layout of a university’s
sports center now, and how it will appear after
redevelopment.

It can be clearly seen that the centre will be
enlarged dramatically with the two outdoor
courts being removed to give way to new
facilities including a leisure pool and a sports hall.
However, the main hall with a reception, a 25 m
pool, a changing room and a seating area will
remain unchanged.
It can be clearly seen that the centre will be
dramatically enlarged with the two outdoor
courts on either side of the existing building
being removed to give way to new indoor
facilities including a large leisure pool and
sports hall. However, much in the original hall
such as the reception, 25 m pool, changing
room and seating area will remain unchanged.

To the west of the main hall, a large leisure pool
is planned, replacing the outdoor courts. A
changing room will be built in front of the pool,
and a sports shop will also be added between
that room and the main entrance.
Turning to the West of the central building, we
can see that a large leisure pool is planned,
replacing the outdoor courts. Furthermore, a
changing room will be built to the south west of
the pool, and a sports shop added, adjacent to
the main entrance which remains unchanged.

On the other side of the hall, the outdoor courts
will be removed to make way for a new sports
hall. While two new dance studios are proposed
to be constructed on the east end of the centre,
the gym at its back will also be expanded. In
addition, there will be an addition of a cafe and a
changing room to the right of the entrance.
To the East, the outdoor courts will be removed
to make way for a new sports hall. While two
new dance studios are proposed for the East
end of the extension, the gym to the North of
the pool will also be expanded eastwards. In
addition, a cafe and a 3rd changing room will
appear to the South of the new hall.
