re-siting. Date
of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 Click
map to see details 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
seemingly neglected area of land to the north of
Coal Pit Lane, by the youth centre, consists of
unmown grass and scrub enclosed to the west by a
shrub border and wooden fence. Species here include
elder, field maple, gorse, beech and hawthorn. A
public footpath runs down the west side of the site
from Coal Pit Lane to the Bracken Moor playing
fields. A small brick electricity substation,
surrounded by mown grass, is situated behind a wire
fence to the west of this path. The
site appears abandoned, giving it a slightly
unwelcoming feel. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
path through the site is used to access the playing
fields. The tall grass, scrub and shrub planting
deter use of the rest of the site. 2. N.B.
The location from which these photographs were taken is not shown on map. Activities
that could be supported in the
future A
mown strip could be created to show that certain
areas of the site are intended to be left for
wildlife and that the site is cared for. A seating
area or picnic bench could be installed to
encourage use of the site and formal access could
be provided from the youth centre. The unattractive
substation could be screened with tree and shrub
planting.
