An enhanced public realm following an exciting landscaping design

The proposals will look to improve the landscape frontage on Southbury Road. This presents an excellent opportunity to green, soften and enhance the site.

This will also help to enhance the visual outlook of neighbouring residents, which is currently dominated by parking and grey facades. Through our public engagement, we shall be listening to what the community would like to see as part of these improvements.

The proposal introduces the potential for an enhanced street frontage and public realm to Southbury Road that will further complement the existing setting and improve the experience for pedestrians.
