map to see details and location of
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 Green
Street is a quiet cul-de-sac with a single row of
brick terraces facing a bank lined with conifers
and shrubs, which encloses the site. The area
surrounding the houses is well cared for, with beds
bordering the street planted with holly, copper
beech, buddleia and perennials, such as fuchsia and
lupins. A well-kept communal garden with arched
gateway, lawn area and herbaceous planting is
situated to the western side of a row of rather
scruffy garages. Rough grassland bounded by a post
and wire fence constitutes the remainder of the
site, with a tarmac footpath running along past the
eastern edge. Safety The
site is overlooked by the terraced houses and feels
semi-private, discouraging non-residents to enter
it. Activities
that the site supports at
present Residents
use the site for parking on the street and in the
garages. On visiting the site, an elderly woman was
seen sitting outside the front of her house
enjoying the sun; another resident was fixing his
car on the street and someone else was gardening.
2. 3. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
rough grassland could be replaced with meadow type
vegetation. 5. Ecology
