photographs 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
segment of greenspace, surrounded by housing,
consists of mown amenity grassland, occasionally
punctuated by a solitary tree, including oak,
sycamore and whitebeam. Circulation through the
site is provided by a concrete path, signposted as
a Public Footpath, which runs from the road towards
a disused quarry nearby. A
low stone wall marks the west boundary and runs
along the pavement next to Cedar Road. An
assortment of garden hedges and wooden fences
constitute the boundary around the rest of the
site. The
site is situated next to Cedar Road and is
overlooked by the surrounding housing, creating a
relatively safe environment. There is limited
lighting along the paths, so it could feel slightly
forbidding at night. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is popular for dog walking and is used by
children for play - climbing trees and playing
football. 2. 3. Due
to its proximity to residential housing and its
good size, the site has much potential for use by
the local community. Circulation could be improved,
creating paths leading to each block of houses to
encourage use of the space, and dog walking routes
from the site could be suggested on an information
board. Play experiences on the site could be
enriched with the planting of extra climbable trees
and the provision of adventurous play equipment.
Some of the unused areas of mown grass could be
converted to meadow and additional tree planting
would break up the monotonous expanse of amenity
grass. 4. 5. 6. Ecology HABITAT
