Site
name: Quarry Hill Zone:
Inner Zone Land
owner: SCC Housing Date
of survey: 29-Feb-00 Current
management: None, apart from vegetation
clearance of public footpath. Proposed
management: Control of rhododendron and bracken.
Encourage re-colonisation by heather/gorse. Some
shrubs and sapling removal. 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. 2. 3. This
area of land stretches down the hillside on the
site of a former quarry, which is now densely
vegetated with trees, shrubs and scrub. A bungalow
with garden is concealed fairly centrally within
this vegetation. Rhododendrons have taken over a
large area on the lower part of this site and
require monitoring. Wood Royd Road and Haywood Lane
bound the south and north edges of the site
respectively. A public footpath, almost impassable
at the top (near Wood Royd Road) due to overgrown
vegetation and mud, runs down the eastern boundary
opening out to wood-edged steps towards the bottom.
The area of land just above Haywood Lane is free
from trees and consists mainly of rosebay
willowherb, brambles and grass. A slight
interruption in the vegetation parallel to this
road suggests a trace of a former track or path
leading to the houses further up Haywood Lane.
Safety The
overgrown, enclosed footpath feels unsafe to walk
along (tripping hazard and potential hiding place),
with vegetation almost covering the path in certain
spots 4. 5. Activities
that the site supports at
present 6. 7. 8. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
rapid growth of rhododendron and Japanese knotweed
on site needs managing and vegetation could be
cleared around the path to encourage its use. A
bench could be provided as a resting spot halfway
up this steep path. Trees on the rest of the site
could be thinned and pockets of space created for
informal play. Ecology HABITAT
