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.

The two layouts compare the main function and details of an

area

in Norbiton. The first map gives information about its current use as an industrial region,

while

the second one illustrates what is planned for

this

site after development.

It is clear that

the function of the

area

will change completely from a region of the industry to a multifunctional place used mainly for housing. More facilities will be added and the road structure will be completely different.

Whereas

now there is only a ring road in the middle and two main streets leading from west to east, in the new plan a number of new roads will be built and a bridge will cross the river in the north of

this

area

. With the help of the new bridge, part of the cropland will be used as a residential zone and new house estates will be built on the current site of factories. On the main body of

this

area

, public facilities

such

as playgrounds, medical centres and schools are

also

taken into account in the plan. Shops can be found in the centre of the region as well.
