Description
Due to the site’s varying levels, retaining walls and steps are proposed throughout to ensure safe and practical access. Access and parking arrangements for refuse vehicles and fire appliances are clearly defined, with appropriate white lining and bollards indicated. The bin store has been repositioned and is now enclosed with close-boarded fencing, with separate provision made for different waste items. Proposed landscaping has been incorporated across the site to enhance visual amenity.
