Site
name: Wortley Road allotment site Zone:

management: Small allotment, pretty well used,
with few vacant plots available. South facing
slope. 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
semi-private site is situated along a stretch of
land between Truman Grove housing and the Little
Don River. A row of houses to the north side faces
into the site and a tarmac path runs in front of
this, allowing pedestrian only access. A fairly
shabby strip of grass, contrasting with the highly
maintained flowerbeds next to the houses, is
situated along the entire length of the site on the
riverbank slope. Below this are individual plots of
land, which back onto the river and which are all
different in style and/or function. They include a
vegetable garden, a plot with a manicured lawn and
bedding plants, a naturalistic flower bed
overflowing with verbena and lavender, a chicken
shed with run and one abandoned plot, overgrown
with tall grass. All are of high visual
appeal and provide an interesting view for the
residents of houses overlooking the site. Trees,
including sycamore, ash and willow surround all
sides of the site except to the east, which is
bounded by Wortley Road. Safety The
site feels safe as it has an open yet secure
position.
It
is situated near a busy main road (Wortley Road)
and is overlooked by housing.
Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site supports activities of the allotment holders,
including keeping chickens and growing vegetables
and flowers. 2. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
area of unmanaged grass could be improved by
regular mowing, or replaced by further allotments
or a garden for the residents. Outdoor communal
seating could also be provided here. Ideas
for change This
is a well-used allotment site, well maintained by
the users. No new proposals for change are
suggested at this stage. Ecology HABITAT
