The intention is to enhance the visual appearance of this triangle of land by re-introducing managed gardens in the form of micro-allotments. These would be offered for rent to local residents, many of whom already overlook the site from small flats which have no dedicated amenity space. Half the site (the lower section) would be made level by the introduction of a small secure underground car park for 8 motor vehicles and 32 bicycles, constructed with an independent concrete frame and slab clad in a stainless steel trellis framework, planted up with various indigenous species of climber to provide all year around visual interest and security. Two deck level roof lights are positioned to provide natural illumination of the undercroft, reducing the need for artificial lighting. At night, low energy fluorescent lights will be controlled by movement detectors to reduce energy usage.
Discussions with local residents have established that there is strong local demand for secure parking in this area of town.
