Thank you for showing what Hemel looks like now - there was not a whisper in town about Jellicoe's role here 20 yrs ago , the banks of his water gardens were besieged by geese and a mishmash of native planting, the water gardens was the name given to the 'car' park not the 'peoples' park.

that dotty black rectangle that breaches the 'boundary' road but not included in the key - is that an existing something? Very stylish plan!
