1.	Visual Attributes - update 2004 This site has been transformed by the building of new housing. Belmont Drive leads north off Victoria Road, downhill to Belmont residential home. There are new brick houses to both sides of this drive and a temporary fence and other building equipment still litters the area. The drive then bends round to the east, above which is an attractive newly grass-seeded bank from which some self-set poppies and willow herb grow. Two attractive large beech trees and a yew are situated on this bank, providing a mature setting for the new buildings. The drive, which uses traffic calming speed bumps, widens at the end (the east of the site) where a complex of new houses has been built, to provide turning space for residents.
Safety This residential street feels safe, with regular visitors to the care home passing through. Activities that the site supports at present As the site is very new, there is not yet any evidence of use of the green space.	2.
Activities that could be supported in the future Benches could be provided on the bank to provide communal seating for local residents and visitors of the care home.
