Site
name: Newton Avenue/Churchill Road brownfield
site Zone:
Inner Zone Land
owner: ? Date
of survey: 25-Feb-00 Current
management: None Proposed
management: Housing site that could be managed
for wildlife on a temporary basis - wildflower
meadow could be developed on southern part. Some
bramble control required. SK25839878 Date
of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 1. 2. 3. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
brownfield site appears abandoned,
yet
plants here provide visual interest and include
rose bay willow herb, hedge bindweed, poppies,
thistles and self-set garden plants. On the
northern boundary, mature hawthorn trees, a
sycamore and a horse chestnut partially enclose the
site and screen the steelworks from view. The land
on this side, covered in dense bracken, then drops
steeply down to Smithy Moor Avenue. Churchill Road
is situated on the southern edge of the site, with
housing above it. Safety As
the site is open and overlooked by surrounding
houses, it would probably feel quite safe to enter
and use. There are also good views from, into and
through the site. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is very overgrown, so it is not used except
for the dumping of garden waste and litter. When
the bracken is lower, the site is used as a short
cut from Newton Avenue to Smithy
Moor.Activities that could be supported in
the futureThe diversity of birds and
insects already found on site could be increased
with new planting and management of dominant
species. The site could provide a play area and a
seating/communal picnic area for local residents.
Paths could also be created to give access down to
Smithy Moor Avenue from Churchill Road. Ideas
