Most of the development is post
1930 - typically semi-detached housing or small terraces
This became the norm for development outside the city core in England
during the mid and late 20th Century.
All this greenspace has a
potential to support vegetationa dntherefore wildlife and to enhance
local Biodiversity
but much is just mown lawn and of little value at present.
A full habitat study has taken place of all the official open spaces - this is at present being put into a GIS
Data has been gathered on the
housing areas and this is also being added to the GIS. The
intention
is that this data aids the development of a long term greenstructure
strategy for this arrea of Sheffield
