Hallcliffe Community Garden Opens

This project, involved the entire range of services offered by the Community Urban Design team.

The site pictured below on Hallcliffe in Baildon, was originally a derelict Church School playground and has now been transformed into a very attractive amenity for the local community by volunteer members of Hallcliffe Community Garden Ltd, a very enthusiastic and enterprising group.

Completed Hallcliffe gardenUrban Design was represented at the inaugural and subsequent meetings of the group offering technical
and design support, carrying out a Community Consultation, a Project Preparation Plan and full costings. These were done as a basis for funding bids to the Countryside Agency, WREN and other funders.

The Team followed on with basic designs, plans and details for Planning Permission, a schedule of works for site clearance and hard landscaping tenders. All site works were supervised by the team until completion of major contracted works.

All soft landscaping was undertaken by volunteers with over half of the plants and shrubs being grown on, or donated by, members of the group - remarkable considering the scale of the project.
