Background
In Spring 2020, we asked local people what we could do to improveHemsleysMeadow and Finches Field in Pease Pottage. Funding is available to begin the implementation of improvements at Hemsleys meadow / Finches Field. Landscape Architects prepared draft designs based on the feedback we received. The designs showed long term plans for how the space could be improved over time.
In Summer 2020, people had the chance to comment on the design and say what their priorities were. Landscape Architects refined the draft masterplan and made suggestions to the Council for priority areas for improvement based on local feedback.Funding is available to carry out the improvements at Hemsleys Meadow and Finches Field.
Once funding was identified, plans were developed. A number of specialist surveys were carried out and the views of local people listened to, so the Landscape Architects had a more detailed picture about the park and what the issues were that needed addressing.
In early 2024, plans were submitted for planning permission.
The Masterplan includes a range of proposed enhancements such as better drainage of the playing field and improved signage. It also includes some more substantial improvements aimed at helping transform the Meadow into a community park with a strong sense of place and a wider offer than just a Meadow / open field.
The masterplan aims to address the main themes we heard that people wanted during the community engagement – Access to nature; formal and informal play; loops and destinations ie. circular paths
