  1. Access
    It is proposed that the only vehicle access be the continued use of the access way leading to the South of the site from Boxalls Lane. Pedestrian access can of course be gained either from Boxalls Lane or the existing footpath to the South of Southmead Road and also from the cul-de-sac at the north end of Jubilee Road and Evelyn Avenue.

    Car parking arrangements should be gathered informally right around the vehicle access off Boxalls Lane. In the first instance it is suggested that the area be restricted to around twenty cars and this area would be denoted by the use of timber bollards placed in the ground around the perimeter of the parking area. The parking area would be unpaved and formed literally of the ground surfacing being compacted hard natural ground surface. The pattern of visits by cars and consequent parking must be monitored before future use patterns can be established and proposals made for larger areas of car parking and possibly a more formal car park layout and a paved surface be installed.

  2. Costs
    The landscape proposals are shown on the plans and can be summarised as follows :

    1. Installation of surface water drainage to Engineer's requirements.
    2. Clearing, dragging, tidying and extending pond size as shown on the plan.
    3. Regrading of ground levels.
    4. Rotivation of the areas to be grass seeded prior to adding topsoil and seeding.
    5. Creating new steps, paths and car parking as shown, together with necessary works to form the cycleway and toboggan slope.
    6. New shrub, grass and tree planting as on the plan.
