00 N There is described a load bearing structure (10) for supporting traffic thereon comprising a sub-base layer (14) and a base layer (15) supported on the subbase layer(14). The base layer (15) comprises a plurality of compacted layers of rock 00 wherein voids are formed in the base layer (15) between rocks and at least a proportion of the voids are forced to contain a growth promoting material therein. A traffic bearing surface (12) is supported on the base layer (15) for supporting traffic thereon. A planting pit (20) supported on the base layer (15) and located adjacent at least one traffic bearing surface (12) for containing a plant (5). The base layer (15) is configured such that root systems of the plant (5) are free to access the growth promoting material contained within the voids. 00 c c'-4 a.
