One of the first things to do when considering starting up or developing a green space project is to have a suitable site in mind.
As a group, you will need to do some research on this site. It may have underground services or overhead cables that could restrict your project. Try to find out what the site was used for before and how this affects your plans. You will also need to consider how safe the proposed site would be for future users of it. Land contamination may also be an issue on certain sites. For further advice on contaminated land talk to your local authority.
