A Return to Parkland

Landscape, ecological and access improvements

Works are taking place to return to parkland the 0.47 hectare site of the former Golf and Tennis School, located to the north west of Regent's Park. This has been our long-standing aim and will extend the natural qualities and character of the adjacent area, enriching the site's biodiversity value, improving the park landscape and providing visitor access.

Sustainable site regeneration
Elements of the current hard-standing will be broken up and combined with existing soil types to create a variety of growing conditions. This will enable the area to support a wide range of plants and wildlife, encouraging butterflies, bugs and hedgehogs.

The site will be colonised with naturally regenerating species-rich grassland and wild flowers (such as Oxide Daisy, Knapweed, Campion, Venuculas, Meadow buttercup), and complemented by the sowing of meadow flowers. A varied mowing regime will allow both shorter and longer grass areas to develop.

The southern third of the site will be enclosed and will be accessible to school and educational groups, including bird walks and tours. This area will include a new hedge along the southern and eastern boundary and new habitats for wildlife.

Timescale
Works are due for completion in early 2011.The existing fencing will remain in place during the first growing season until autumn 2011 to allow the site to establish.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause.

Further information
Planning permission for these works was granted by Westminster City Council in September 2010.
