of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 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. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
largely neglected piece of land is situated behind
the Peggy Tub club on New Road and is bounded to
the north by Haywood Lane. Access from the top of
the site is via an informal gravel car park off
Haywood Lane, which is bordered by unmanaged
vegetation. Piles of dumped building rubble and a
burnt patch of ground (with a charred dead ash
tree) are found on this area of the site. A set of
uninviting brick walled steps lead down from this
to a sloping paved path enclosed by trees and lined
with railings and a clipped privet hedge. This path
opens out to steps which lead onto New Road. There
is an area with long grass and coppiced ash
saplings, brambles and rosebay willowherb on the
eastern side of these steps. A retaining wall
encloses the rear of the Peggy Tub, with woodland
above it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Safety The
path leading through the site, although partly
maintained with the clipped hedge and neat surface,
feels slightly unwelcoming, as it is enclosed and
quite narrow. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is used to walk through and for fly tipping.
Activities
that could be supported in the
future Tree
clearance could be carried out to open up areas
around the path, and scrub vegetation could be
replaced with low maintenance ground cover shrubs
to increase the visual quality of the site.
