Finished Site Plan

 This is the first site model of our area in Wendover. What we were trying to show in this 1:500 model  was how our plot of land worked with the area. Next to the site is the Wendover train station a small town and the Chiltren Forest. After we are on a brief for the design for this plot of land we will make another site model with more detail.

Hainault Forest Country Park

Hainault Forest Park gives a very nice experience for the public to interact with nature and wildlife. Even though there are restrictions there are a number of things which everyone can do.

To get to the park we made our way to East London by car and found there parking to be very reasonable. 1 pound for an hour and 3 pound for the whole day. The park itself is open every day but the petting zoo with the park closes at 3 in the winter and 5 in the summer.

There are many notifications and signs informing the public of the plants and different routes which you can take around the park such as the cyclist pathway.

There is a Cafe and also toilets in the park. There are inside and outdoor accommodations for the cafe and also a canapé which opens and closes.

The zoo is very nice and has a wide range of animals from donkeys, llamas to peacocks. Its is very inviting but also a little off putting by the signs which say all the disease you could possibly catch from feeding the animals.

Trip to the Site

Green Belt - Wendover

Starting our journey at Waterloo train station we took a train to our site in Wendover. Wendover is a country side area on the green and chalky outskirts of the Green Belt, North West of London. This agricultural town and many others are apart of London's Green Belt.

This is a open green space which has the purpose keeping the land as nature wanted it and to stop further builds to happen. England's Green Belt this year was estimated to be 1,636,620 hectares (1 hectare= 100 acres).


Wendover itself is a old town which used to be a chalk deposit. When we were walking around the area we found that the area had a variation plants and trees. Some which had fruit which we did stop and eat. There were apple trees, pine trees, maples and many different trees which would have been planted by farmers or land owners. The purpose of planting trees in rows like they are in Wendover would have been to divide land.

Once we started walking we had to find our way around the land the right way. There are different pathways for specific people such as for land owners and regular civilians. One of the pathways was through this empty find which recently reaped for its straw. 

On our walk up and down the hill we saw signs of old and new wild life. We walked by a few old rabbit holes and by horses in gated areas. Some horses were timid but the one pony we saw was very friendly.

Our site is opposite the Wendover train station and right next to the cricket ground. Inside our site there are the changing rooms for cricket players and also a garage which we don't know the contents of. It is about 30 meters long and 7 wide.
