They were stunned to learn the council approved of the £6,800 shed said to 'dwarf' park
The shed in Beech Road Park, Chorlton, will store tools and equipment and will be used by rangers, volunteers and associated groups. But neighbours believe its size will 'ruin' the beauty spot.
"It's also going to have power and a water supply at great expense. If they need a container for small-scale gardening it should be in a discreet location, and if they put water in it then it should be accessible to the entire public as a better use of council money." Other locals, including community members of Facebook group 'Dog Walkers in Beech Road Park', alleged they feel misled and ignored by Friends of Beech Road Park.
"There are also further concerns the shed will obstruct views for elderly residents of Ivy Court Nursing Home." "We listened carefully to all the feedback received and have adjusted the original plans which now includes the addition of a living wall to mitigate the aesthetics of the structure and to ensure that it not impact upon the local area's charm and distinctive appeal."
