Reopening of inaccessible land and extension of the Ornamental Gardens

Our plans propose development on an overgrown parcel of land to the rear of Colehill Gardens. In percentage terms we are proposing to build on 6% Of the total area which at present is not well-used.

Our plans will improve and re-open the area for residents and the general public by improving the ornamental gardens into amenity for local residents.

We have lots of ideas about how we could best improve the Ornamental Gardens and some of these are laid out later on in the exhibition. However, we are very keen to hear from you to let us know what you want to see, and how the Gardens can best benefit the local community.

Continuation of Mansion Block Style

Our proposals will provide a continuation 26-36 Colehill Gardens mansion block, and use the same mansion block style to ensure it is in keeping with its neighbours and matches the local area in terms of rhythm and style.

Access Improvements

The site is currently difficult to access due to restrictions. Our proposal is to open up public access by creating two new pedestrian walk ways for residents and local people to access the Ornamental Gardens.

Trees and Biodiversity

We will look to further enhance the space through a biodiverse approach to the landscape design, creating an enriching and sustainable green space unique to the local area.
