The maps portray the current industrial

area

and the future development of the town of Norbiton.

Overall

, it can be seen that the town will undergo several changes, and the most significant of these will be the transformation of an industrial

area

into a residential

area

. Currently, the industrial

area

is located on the east

side

of the town, with a river at the north, separating the farmland from the industrial

area

. There is a roundabout at the centre of the

area

, with factories surrounding it. To the east of the roundabout, there is a roadway leading to another factory, with multiple factories along either

side

. The roundabout connects the east roadway to the south main path. The proposed changes will completely reshape the landscape of the

area

. Along the roundabout at the heart of the

area

, the factories will be replaced by residences, shops, and a medical centre.

In addition

, a mini-roundabout will be constructed to the south of the current one,

while

a new T-intersection will

also

be built from the north of the roundabout across the river, with residences along the western

side

of the road. The farmland north of the river will be moved, and additional houses will be added on that

side

. Another road will be added to the northwest of the big roundabout, where more houses will be built along the

side

of

this

street. Shops will be constructed to the southwest of the big roundabout,

whereas

a medical centre will be located to its southeast. A school will be constructed to the east of the roundabout, in the middle of which will stand a new playground.
