Recreationally, the site location is on the verge of the countryside with Westgate Jenny's Woods and Sir Joseph Banks Country Park Walk providing nearly 80 acres of woodland, meadow and open green space nearby. Additionally Boston Tennis Club, Cricket Club and the Princess Royal Sports Arena are also nearby leisure facilities.

Directly to the east of the site, next door, a local Developer has recently obtained planning permission to build out two selective Executive Homes sites with under 10 properties per scheme.
