ABSTRACT

‘Groupings’ refer to the various functions and uses of the site. For example, if the site is located within a predominantly residential area then this is likely to affect the way it might be developed and what future usage would be regarded as appropriate. Establishing what is going on around the site will help inform your project. Sometimes there may be similar facilities close by and you will need to consider whether your proposal is trying to work with these facilities or is in competition with them. In live projects, ownership of land can also be an important factor affecting access and sometimes the whole viability of the project.
