recreation ground, hemyock
The villagers in this rural part of Devon wished to see some better sports facilities within this area and commissioned this study to explore the potential of Longmead Field.
This site is in the Blackdown Hills and there is an attractive brook running through it. The proposal was for sports pitches, Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), tennis courts and a pavilion. Added in to the scheme in order to address the very sensitive location were improvements to the stream, the creation of wet beds and the provision of picnic areas and paths. The project is located within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
