The key features of the area are therefore: • its focus on a triangular area of green space, which is its key feature; • a little altered historic street pattern, now protected by traffic management measures; • roads and a central green with no pavements or kerbs, except for granite sets defining the edge of the central green, together with few footpath links; • the domestic use, scale and character of the area, which could be described as being of cottage style; • the tree cover to the west of the area which provides a backcloth to and enhances the area and also softens views out of the area - Greenwood Road is an especially attractive green approach to the area; • the north side of the Bath Road within the Conservation Area comprises a bank which, with its important trees and hedge line, is an important “Gateway” not only to the Conservation Area but also the Borough as a whole.
The Townscape Heritage programme helps communities regenerate deprived towns and cities across the UK by improving their built historic environment. Grants range from £100,000 to £2million. A Townscape Heritage scheme is made up of a balanced portfolio of projects that together have the potential to regenerate and transform conservation areas in need of investment.
