The maps below show an industrial area in the town of Norbiton, and planned future development of the site.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The maps show a currently industrial area to the east of Norbiton and redevelopment plans.
Overall, the goal is to redevelop into a residential neighborhood, with additional housing and other supporting facilities.
Currently, there is a roundabout that connects a southern and an eastern road, with several factories in the area that are to be removed in the redevelopment.
The area around the eastern road is to be for housing, a school at the end, and a playground to the north. Another road is planned to be added north from the roundabout and over a river, with housing along the western side of the road. The farmland north of the river is to be replaced by additional housing where a road parallel to the river is to be constructed and linked to the northbound road. There are also plans to construct another road northwest from the roundabout. More housing is to be built along one side and at the end of this road.
To the southwest of the roundabout, shops are planned to be constructed. Across the street to the southeast is to be a medical center. A second roundabout is also to be added where the south road currently meets the main road in a T-intersection.
