Topography / Scale / Density
The map below looks at the site in the context of the wider local area – approximately 2.7-3.0 miles.
Topography / Flooding
The site is generally flat. However the north-east corner falls down towards Sheene Road. The ground level immediately to the west rises steeply by about 5m - this higher plateau is shown hatched in the plan below. The site lies outside Flood Zones 2 and 3.
Scale
This plan shows an analysis of the scale of the surrounding buildings, counted as the number of storeys above ground level.
