photographs The ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help members of the local community as they think about what could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative solutions may well emerge over the coming decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable it to happen. 1. 2. 3. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
site, bounded to the north side by Common Lane, is
surrounded by farmland. Dry stone walls bound
the site, some of which are derelict in places and
Parsonage Farm is situated within the site’s
perimeter on the north edge. The main access into
the site is via a car park at the west side, off
Common Lane. A rough track with two large boulders
at the end leads from this to the playing fields,
which consist of several football pitches. There is
a wide margin of unmown rough grass and scrub
around this large expanse of mown amenity grass,
which has sparse tree planting to the east of the
car park and along the southern edge of the site. A
public footpath runs down the east edge of the site
past the farm from Common Lane, which is also a
public right of way. Safety This
area feels quite safe to enter, as it is open and
in a quiet area surrounded by fields. Activities
that the site supports at
present Bikers,
walkers and horse riders use the public right of
way along Common Lane. The recreation ground is
regularly used for football games and large outdoor
events, such as summer galas. It also hosts one of
the largest bonfire night events in the valley.
