LANDSCAPING AND BIODIVERSITY

We will be creating multifunctional civic spaces including green areas, seating, multifunctional play and heritage. This consists of allotment space for communal growing and multifunctional communal gardens with play space, fitness provisions and seating for enjoyment. Additionally, the perimeter of the estate will be lined with planted areas to increase the natural vibrancy of the Juniper Crescent neighbourhood.

The proposed development retains the existing access points for vehicles; however, a new pedestrian footpath and cycle access will be added.
