Convert into a small public garden space (locked at night)

Theme: Urban Trees and Parklets

This site has been abandoned by the present owner, after the previous owner failed twice to get planning permission for rather ambitious proposals that would have seen the external fabric of the church and important facades substantially retained.

Since then it has lost its roof and continues to degrade.

The area should be removed from housing and certainly not used for commercial, due to the impossibly busy gyratory one way system, which could be removed.

With no roof and the walls more or less sound, it would make sense to create a small semi private garden for the Abbeylands residents, who have no nearby public areas to enjoy with a few minutes walk.

The concept would build on the last proposal that was submitted by Graeme Armet and his client.

Thank you!
