From Brownfield to Magic Gardens

(L-R): City of Wolverhampton Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing,
Councillor Steve Evans, and Morro Partnerships Managing Director, Tom Broadway at the Magic Gardens site in Bushbury
The first new council homes are springing out of the ground at two small derelict brownfield sites in Wolverhampton.

City of Wolverhampton Council appointed contractor Morro Partnerships Limited to build 8 bungalows at the ‘Magic Gardens’ site off Sandmere Rise in Bushbury and 11 houses on Ettingshall Road in Bilston.

The new ‘A’ Rated, gas free homes with solar panels, are being constructed using sustainable building methods and, following 3 months of ground works, the timber frames are now being installed at both sites.

The carbon footprint of a timber frame is less than traditional structures, and this modern method of construction also helps to reduce energy consumption, helping to keep residents’ bills to a minimum.

The council’s housing development team is leading the project, and all the homes will be available for affordable rent, with construction across both sites expected to be complete by summer 2025.

The 8 bungalows and 11 houses form part of the latest phase of new council homes coming forward across the city, with development works underway or set to start in the coming months on 81 properties across 6 sites.

‘Magic Gardens’ was historically used for organised recreational community activities but has been unused since around 2011.

The development of 7 two-bedroom houses, 2 three-bedroom houses and 2 four-bedroom houses at Ettingshall Road will bring back into use land that has been blighted by fly tipping in recent years.

Councillor Steve Evans, the council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing, said:

“One of our key priorities is to increase the number of good homes in well connected neighbourhoods across the city.

“Works are progressing well at both sites and will deliver a variety of housing types for our council homes portfolio.

“It is also another example of the council’s brownfield land first strategy bringing small disused sites back into use for the benefit of our residents and communities.

“Sustainability in build and fostering thriving communities is important to us, so our collaboration with Morro Partnerships assures both us and our future residents that their homes are future proofed in a great location.”

Tom Broadway, Managing Director at Morro Partnerships, said:

“We’re pleased to have made such great progress on these much needed homes, and to be contributing towards the increased demand for affordable housing across the city.

“Sustainability is a key part of our pledges to be better community makers and better environment makers, and to be helping to make housing more affordable, accessible and equipped for the future is rewarding.

“We’re looking forward to completing construction at these two important developments and watching them blossom into thriving communities.”

The developments will be supported by Homes England grants totalling a £1,315,000.

Enhancing Sound Insulation

Enhancing Sound Insulation Of Double Leaf Walls With New Stud Types

A novel analytical model reveals the superior acoustic advantages of acoustical and steel studs over traditional wooden configurations.

A new analytical model has unveiled significant insights on the sound insulation performance of lightweight double leaf walls, particularly emphasizing the role of various stud types. This research draws attention to the challenges inherent in predicting sound transmission loss (STL) due to complex structural configurations, providing architects with valuable tools for optimizing acoustic environments.

Double leaf wall structures are prevalent in the construction of modern buildings, such as hotels, open offices, and residential complexes. While their lightweight nature and ease of assembly make them appealing, their sound insulation capabilities have often fallen short of required standards. This study, led by researchers from China, introduces innovative methodologies for evaluating and enhancing the acoustic performance of these walls.

One of the principal findings of this research is the sound bridge effect, which occurs when varying stud types introduce mechanical connections between wall leaves, thereby enabling vibration energy transfer. The analysis demonstrates how traditional wooden studs contribute more significantly to this effect compared to lighter steel studs. Notably, the researchers advocate for using acoustical studs equipped with rubber sound isolation inserts to achieve superior sound insulation performance.

The innovative analytical model allows for rapid predictions of STL for commonly used double leaf wall configurations, including those incorporating wooden, steel, and acoustical studs. This model enhances practicality for architects and builders by streamlining sound insulation evaluations and facilitating informed design choices. Previous methods primarily focused on rigid configurations, lacking comprehensive comparisons across stud types, particularly newer, more flexible configurations.

The research systematically evaluates various double leaf walls’ airborne sound transmission characteristics, offering empirical data derived from rigorous analytical methods. Key findings indicate substantial differences between configurations, highlighting the effectiveness of acoustical studs over wooden and standard steel variants. Specifically, it was found, “We propose using acoustical studs with rubber sound isolation inserts, which achieves high-level sound insulation performance,” showcasing how optimized stud designs can significantly improve acoustic separation between wall leaves.

Parametric studies within the research focused on variables such as stud spacing and wall dimensions, determining their effect on STL within specific frequency ranges. It was observed, for example, reduced stud spacing led to improved stiffness and overall insulation, making smaller stud arrangements preferable for enhancing soundproofing without compromising structural integrity.

This research particularly addresses previous shortcomings faced by builders when selecting stud types for double leaf walls—enabling them to combine optimal sound performance with the lightweight benefits required for modern construction techniques. “Traditional wooden studs contribute more to the sound bridge effect compared to steel studs of the same structure,” adds clarity to choosing materials based on performance metrics.

Given the notable benefits stemming from this study, these findings bear significant relevance for the construction industry—especially as demands for more efficient, soundproof environments grow. Builders and architects can leverage this work to implement sound-efficient designs more effectively, ensuring both compliance with sound standards and satisfaction among building occupants.

Future research will likely explore environmentally friendly materials and the integration of advanced technologies to optimize wall configurations, with aspirations to contribute toward carbon neutrality goals within the sector. By refining lightweight wall design practices, this study paves the way for innovative approaches to meeting rising acoustic and structural demands.
