What factors have you considered when choosing the location for the garden?
Water Supply
How will you ensure reliable and cost-effective access to water for your garden?
Waste Management Plan/Composting
Where will you locate your compost bin? What is your plan for handling green waste? How will you manage potential pests associated with composting?
Buildings
Are you planning to add any structures, such as a shed? If so, how will you ensure it meets the requirement of being at least 3.5 meters from the boundary, and how will it fit into your garden layout?
Accessibility
How will you make your garden welcoming and accessible for people of all ages and abilities?
Sunlight
Does your proposed garden area receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily during the summer? Are there buildings or trees nearby that could cast excessive shade?
Space
Is there enough space for your garden, a composting area, a shed, and possible future expansion?
Longevity
What certainty do you have about the land’s use over time? Are there any foreseeable developments that might impact the garden?
Health and Safety
Have you considered potential health and safety issues, such as polluted land or soil contamination, particularly if the site has been used for other purposes before?
Infrastructure
Have you checked whether the garden might interfere with underground pipes, wires, pathways, or other structures?
Visibility
How will you ensure the garden is visible enough to enhance safety and reduce the risk of vandalism?
Resources
What resources will you need to establish the garden? Have you considered options for fundraising or obtaining in-kind support?
