restoration or pond? SK265339820 Date
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
area of dense, mixed woodland runs down from Alpine
Road to Bowden’s garage at the end of
Coronation Road. Nettles surround a well-kept path
which passes down the west side of the wood and
backs onto the gardens of the adjacent housing. A
strip of ground halfway down this path has been
planted unsuccessfully with species such as
buddleia, euonymus and hebe, which have not
survived the dense shade. A fenced off concrete
area above the garage houses a water main. The
woodland above this rises steeply to Alpine Road
and Alpine Lodge Nursing Home to the southeast of
the site. Safety The
dense planting, steep banking and water main deter
use of most of the woodland and the trees next to
the paths may create a threatening environment for
pedestrians, especially after dark. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
path through the site is used regularly. An
informal, muddy path has been created near the road
by people dumping garden waste. 2. 3. Activities
that could be supported in the
future Adventurous
play could be encouraged on the site, exploiting
the natural topography and woodland. A significant
amount of tree thinning and clearance of nettles
and other invasive plants would be required.
Additional paths would make the site more
accessible. Ecology HABITAT
