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
ex-allotment site, on the edge of the residential
district, is situated on the west side of a corner
on Whitwell lane. A private drive bounds the north
edge and wood and farm land lie to the west and
south. The raised segment of unmanaged land is
densely covered in bracken next to the road and a
belt of woodland to the western edge. Notable
features on this site include an abandoned drive,
carpeted in grass and nettles, and a stream which
runs through the site, hidden amongst woodland
undergrowth. Whitwell
Lane runs right past the site, but is fairly quiet,
posing no real threat. The site is totally open
near the road, with good views, so users would feel
safe. The dense woodland to the back of the site
may seem quite foreboding, particularly after
dark. Activities
that the site supports at
present Few
activities are supported at present due to the
density of vegetation. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. This
path of neglected land could be cleared and planted
with less invasive species. It could be set
aside and left for wildlife. Ecology
