future development of the site.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and

make comparisons where relevant.
The maps compare the present and the projection of the future of an industrial park located in Norbiton.
Overall
, the area will be extended, constructing
also
in the north
side
of the
river
.
Furthermore
, all the factories will be replaced by houses, turning it into a residential zone with a playground, a school, medical facilities and shops.
To begin
with, it can be seen that the industrial park will be replaced by housing, creating more roads and another round.
For example
, on the northwest
side
of the main roundabout, the factories will be demolished to construct two streets connecting three new blocks of buildings.
Furthermore
, the road from the north
side
of the main roundabout will cross the
river
through a bridge to connect
this
area with more houses. In
this
case, the farmland
that is
on the north
side
of the
river
will be reduced in the future, keeping only the east part of it.
In addition
to
this
, the east roadway will remain but with the difference that the two factories that are currently located on both sides of
this
road will be replaced by blocks of houses, adding a playground on the north
side
, between the residences and the
river
.
Moreover
, the factory located
at the end
of
this
street will be replaced by a school.
Finally
, in the south of what at present is the industrial area, a smaller roundabout will be connected to the main one, constructing shops on the west
side
of these both and a medical centre on the east
side
.
