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
sizeable area of unmanaged scrub to the south of
St. Johns School playing field is surrounded on
three sides by housing, with a mixed hedge to the
north. A gap in this hedge provides unofficial
access into the site from the playing fields. There
is not much evidence of use and the site appears
overgrown and neglected. A desire line runs from
the end of Pen Nook Gardens at the east of the site
across to houses on Pen Nook Close. A bench, bin
and picnic table seem to be randomly placed along
this informal path. 4. 5. 6. 7. Safety Although
housing overlooks this site, it has a slightly
unwelcoming feel, as it is scruffy and appears
abandoned. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is used as a short cut through the housing
estate. Activities
that could be supported in the
future A
communal garden could be created for local
residents. The wildlife potential on site could
also be heightened with the possible creation of a
wetland area or wildflower meadow. The mud path
could be formalised, and the scrub planting tidied
up (with a mown edge to show intention, and the
addition of shrubs), encouraging people to enter
and use the space. Ecology
