The provided maps illustrate the current layout of an industrial area in Norbiton and its proposed future development. Overall, the plan outlines a significant transformation of the area from a solely industrial zone into a mixed-use site, incorporating residential housing, commercial facilities, and amenities, with industrial activity largely relocated to the north. Currently, Norbiton’s industrial area comprises a central roundabout with an access road extending eastward. Seven factories are distributed around this infrastructure: three are situated to the west of the roundabout, while four others line both sides of the eastern road. The entire zone is bordered by a river to the north and farmland beyond it, with a main road forming its southern boundary, connecting to the town. The planned development completely reconfigures this layout. All existing factories are removed, making way for extensive housing. Specifically, the factories west of the roundabout and along the eastern road are replaced by residential units. To the north of the river, two new factories are designated, accessible via a newly constructed bridge from the central roundabout. Furthermore, new amenities are introduced: shops are planned southwest of the main roundabout, a medical centre to its southeast, and a school with an adjacent playground is situated further east, accessible by an extended road. The main road connection to the town also sees an additional, smaller roundabout.
