The town in the west unchanged
Three housing areas in the northwest of the industrial area below the river connected to the roundabout through special roads
Shops in the southwest of the roundabout
A smaller roundabout in the south of the industrial area connected to the major roundabout in the center through a southward road and a road stretched from the west to the east
A medical center in the southeast of the major roundabout but having access through the northeast of the small roundabout
A road stretched to the east in the east of the major roundabout
Three housing areas along the road

A school in the east at the end of the road
The first map depicts Norbiton’s industrial area as it currently stands, featuring farmland in the north, a river to the south of the farmland, a town in the west, three factories near a roundabout, and five factories along an eastern street. The second map presents planned future development, showcasing significant changes in the area.
In the future development, the farmland in the northeast will shrink, making way for housing. A road and a bridge will be constructed over the river, connecting the new housing area to the central part of the town, which remains unchanged. Additional housing areas will be built in the northwest, linked to the main roundabout by specialized roads. Shops will be located southwest of the roundabout, enhancing commercial activity.
A smaller roundabout in the south will connect to the major roundabout in the center through a southward road and a west-to-east road. The southeast of the major roundabout will see the establishment of a medical center, accessible through the northeast of the smaller roundabout. In the east, a road will stretch with three housing areas along it, leading to a large playground in the north and culminating in a school at the road’s end.
In conclusion, eliminating the factories, the planned future development of Norbiton’s industrial area aims to transform the landscape significantly, replacing farmland with housing, introducing new commercial spaces, and enhancing educational and medical facilities. These changes are likely to bring about increased urbanization and improved amenities for the town’s residents.
