The site has a bad planning history going back to the first application in 2003 for housing, and subsequent applications for retirement accommodation - all of which failed. Given its historic use as a park,croquet club and currently a bowls club, the greenfield site should be re-allocated for leisure use only and the green open space saved to complement its historic setting. It is the last green space immediately to the east of the Town Centre Conservation Area and the proposed new cultural area and the whole site is registered as an Asset of Community Value.
