The council said the artist also planned to imprint leaves into the clay moulds to add a “tactile, engaging element” that reflected the hidden flora of the park.
The circular artwork would sit in the mini plaza at the base of the Shute Road ramp and include a poem inspired by the artist’s work with the local community, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
In her report to councillors, planning officer Caroline Walton said that although public art can be subjective, officers believed the sculptures represented “high‑quality design and material finish” and would make a positive contribution to the area’s cultural and visual character.
She added that the installations would be positioned to avoid obstructing visibility for road users or creating any safety or amenity issues for residents.
