Details
The site extends to circa 6.79 hectares, is relatively level and self-contained with well-defined boundaries from the existing housing to the rear of The Avenue, the Racecourse, mineral railway line and the mature deciduous woodland of Redhouse Plantation.
The boundaries are softened by the presence of trees and hedgerow shrubs alongside the railway line and the rear of the properties of The Avenue. The Racecourse boundary consists of tall hedgerow containing some large mature oak trees connecting with the woodland of the Redhouse Plantation.
The land was previously cultivated, however it has remained unused for a number of years and is now characterised by rough grassland with pioneering mixed scrubland. The surrounding area is primarily suburban and predominantly residential in character with a wide range of house types including larger spacious villas in the leafier older suburbs to the north and south of Bawtry Road.
