Developed incrementally, the project has shown sensitivity to the site’s natural characteristics with an eye to climate change, ensuring that capital investment is not wasted and the management requirements are neither too costly or onerous for the environment.

Natural vegetation has been retained and together with new management practices, encourage wild habitats which allow visitors to enhance their experiences alongside normal park activities.

The development of Manor Fields has, through cooperation between the City Council and stakeholders, added significantly to the regeneration of the area, creating an inspiring, safe and welcoming quality space for residents and visitors alike. The approach of the Landscape Design Team has resulted in an environment which is well adapted to forecast climate scenarios as well as reducing the impact on future climate change.
