The thick red outline shows the location of the existing park area to the West  of Grove Street. Using the drawing submitted  with the planning application to locate the wall boundary this was superimposed onto the pretty picture below. 

I wonder why this wasn't clearly marked on the pretty plans offered up to a residents committee meeting and how it can be thought that this is going to establish a new and bigger park!
Fountain North's Plan
Note the following:

(i) Fountain North appear to be counting the gardens of properties in Upper Grove Place as a public area
(ii) the space previously occupied by the play-ground has been taken from the former public park area
(iii) the long white rectangles are presumably houses with adjacent private gardens
(iv) another chunk of the former park area will be occupied by a nursery
(v) Brandfield Street will now provide access to car owners in the new complex who can presumably then turn into a one way street and rapidly enter the congestion charge zones at Haymarket or Tollcross
return to Gardyloo
