The proposed site has been identified by the group based on the following:

1. Key location, next to existing community and residents.

2. Visibility – adjacent seen from the Western Harbour Drive bus route andoverlooked by residents on Windrush Drive.

3. Desire lines – a route between local facilities and nearby housing cuts acrossthis site, again bringing people into relationship with the site.
