Physical Site Analysis





The site is partially hidden from the main road to the east by Reginald Parade, a row of single storey retail units which are either vacant or in the process of relocating. To the north, south and west the site is surrounded by residential properties of little architectural merit.

A low wooden fence currently bisects the site to the east of the sports court demarking the extent of the proposed Joint Services Centre.

The gently sloping site is predominately covered with utility grass. A 3m high wire fence surrounds a tarmac surfaced sports court at the centre of the site.

The children’s playground consists of a slide set into a low manmade hill and a single arched ladder climbing frame.

A number of mature trees pepper the site including sycamore, Norway maple, ash, holly and rowan.
