in an area of mid 20th century development. It is the first phase of a long term project to map the greenstructure of Sheffield.
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 vegetation and therefore 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
Greenspace
Management in Stocksbridge
presentation by Marius Menz
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
