The maps below give information about a plan to redevelop an industrial site. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The two plans show an industrial area as it is now and its redevelopment plan for the future.
Overall, the site is expected to experience a host of significant alterations, with the most prominent being the development of accommodation, greenery and transportation amenities at the expense of workplaces. This, as a result, will completely transform this industrial place into a residential area.
At present, the industrial complex is surrounded by Toe Lane, Chimney Road, Pie Walk, and Swallow Street, but workers can only access the place via the entrance and reception located on Chimney Road in the north. Once inside, they can park their vehicles in the parking lot situated in the west of the site, just below which is a storage facility. In the south of the map is an office building that also houses a canteen, while in the east lies a factory. Finally, there is a yard in the middle of the site.
Following redevelopment, only the surrounding roads will remain unchanged. However, the parking and storage spaces will be removed, making way for 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom houses. The entrance, reception and yard will be replaced by three 2-bedroom houses and communal gardens, bordered by three private roads. Lastly, the office building and factory will be turned into parking garages and an apartment with its own parking area, respectively.
