The maps below show an industrial area in the town of Norbiton, and planned future development of the site.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
There are two pictures comparing the present Norbiton industrial area with its future development plan. It is apparent that there are plans to convert
this
industrial area into a residential area with supporting facilities.
Road
systems are to be extended or upgraded to link all housing units and supporting facilities. The noticeable changes in the future plan include that all factories are to be removed and the
road
system is to be upgraded. Currently, there is a roundabout in the middle of the map, an eastern
road
and a southern
road
with several factories located along the roundabout and the eastern
road
.
However
, a northern
road
and a north-western
road
are planned to be extended from the existing roundabout with the former across the river.
In addition
, dwellings will be built along the
road
or
at the end
of it. A new roundabout is
also
planned to be built where the southern
road
meets the main
road
at the T junction.
According to
the future plan, shops are to open up to the southwest of the existing roundabout,
while
a medical centre is planned to be built to the southeast of it. Simultaneously, a school is to be located
at the end
of the eastern
road
, with a new
road
connecting the playground to it.
