1.	Visual Attributes - update 2004 This triangle of land, situated on the steep junction of Nanny Hill and Bocking Hill, comprises mown grass with a low stone wall to the northern and eastern edges. A pavement with damaged metal railings forms the western boundary and a pair of stone pillars which guide pedestrians to a seating area (the actual bench is missing), is located on the northeast corner. Wild flowers such as dandelions and willowherbs and a few self set sycamores grow around the periphery of this triangle, where the grass cannot be mown.
2.	3.
Safety The site is situated next to well-used roads, so feels safe.   Activities that the site supports at present This very small site does not support any human activity since the bench was removed.	Activities that could be supported in the future The bench could be reinstated, providing a resting spot for people walking up Nanny Hill. The mown grass could be replaced with less maintenance intensive planting or left unmown and supplemented with some wildflower species, which would increase the visual quality of the space.
	Ideas for change This small triangular site would benefit from removing the remains of a broken down fence. Bulb planting is needed. L shaped benches could be considered.
