Compound development
Myatt's Fields Park Project has applied for full planning permission to house shipping containers in the park compound. This raises vital income to support park maintenance, and also houses MFPP event and horticultural equipment. We are planning to add fencing, trellis and planting to screen the area from the park and from neighbours and have installed green roofs on the containers. To comment, go here |
