Artemis and the RNRP carried out assessments of the ecology, history, archaeology and landscape character of the site, working closely with the Environment Agency, in order to propose an exciting, yet sensitive scheme allowing public access into this green oasis in the centre of Towcester and the busy Moat Lane area. The RNRP presented this scheme to WNDC in order to access funding for the project, for which Artemis prepared a number of concept boards >>>
