Carrying Out a Local Survey for Land 1:- INTRODUCTION Briggs & Mortar have commissioned Spencer Property to carry out a local survey for land in Withernsea, which could be used for their latest project. The inspection was carried out on 9th February 2004, by Mr Whiteley. Brief a. Identify a suitable site for mixed-use development, including appropriate supporting local plan policies, whether they are site specific or general. b. Give appropriate design guidance, including policy guidance, good practice guidance, and on-the-ground observations. c. Assess the likely environmental impact of the development in preparation for the expected request for an Environmental Impact Assessment. 1.1:- Background Withernsea is an urban centre serving the southeast of the borough, situated approximately 22 miles east of Hull and lying at the junction of the A1033 trunk road and the B1242 distributor road. Regular bus services between Hull and Withernsea provide public transport along the A1033. The A1033 and the B1445 are important commuter roads, which access major developments such as Saltend chemical works and the gas terminals at Easington. The main north axis of the town is Queen Street, with a well-defined retail area, along which most of the shops and services are located. To the south and west of the town centre, newer suburban development has taken place at lower densities. The high-density development in the central area emphasises the lack of open spaces and trees. Future developments of large sites in the town will need to incorporate proposals for landscaping and open space pr... ... middle of paper ... ... 23 www.odpm.gov.uk/stellenet/groups/odpmplanning/documents/page/odpm_plan_606911pdf ODPM- Urban Task Force 'By Design' www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_urbanpolicy/documnets/page/odpm_urbanpolicy_608562-05.hcsp ODPM-Urban Task Force 'Towards and Urban Renaissance' www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_urbanpolicy/documnets/page/odpm_urbanpolicy_608460.hcsp References 1:- Local development plan - www.eastriding.gov.uk 2:- Local development plan - www.eastriding.gov.uk 3:-Planning Policy Guidance 1 - www.odpm_plan_source_608222 4:-Agenda 21 - www.un.org/esa/sustdev/documents/agenda21/index.htm 5:- www.sustainable-development.gov.uk 6:- Good design - www.odpm_plan_605957 7:- Planning Policy Guidance 1 - www.odpm_plan_source_608222 8:- Good design - www.odpm_plan_605957
The following case study critiques Upton’s vision to establish a sustainable community through implementing comprehensive sustainable strategy. The urban periphery development is thought to demonstrate superior execution of sustainable principles in development (Jackson 2007). As a parallel, the report focuses on the development of Upton’s design code and demonstrates how large -scale mix-use developments can incorporate sustainable practice and principles of urban growth.
The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.
The decision to do away with the long-standing community was reflected in academic studies and city-commissioned planning reports as a means t...

Because of the amount of overdeveloped areas that are now vacant, the desire to renovate old vacant properties and land plots has all but disappeared. What if there was a beneficial solution to unused land plots in need of rehab and redesign? What if, instead of paving over every leftover inch of grass and dirt in urban areas to make room for more parking for our daily commuting polluters, we instead reinvent that land for a purpose that is both beneficial to our
Land use in the district of North Vancouver has been a very sensitive issue for many years. In this area, population growth has been substantial, especially because of the area's popular outdoor recreation opportunities. It is this relationship between population pressure and outdoor 'green zones'1 that is at the heart of the conflict in North Vancouver district. Residents are very passionate about, and emotionally attached to, the natural mountainous surroundings. Thus, when development plans were slated for Mountain Forest and Cove Forest, residents did not want development to take place in 'their forests.' The critical question is, how to incorporate influxes of people into a limited amount of urban area while keeping current residents satisfied?
Brought to discussion by Ronald Goldstein, the Building Project at William J. Johnston has been an ongoing project in Colchester. The initial proposal included the construction of both a senior center and recreational fields, but when voted upon in the fall the project was rejected. The results of the initial vote indicated that the citizens did not feel this plan best suited the needs of the town. Though discussion of the project was brief, there was mention that the new proposal will still include recreational fields, but no longer the senior center. These such revisions were said by Donald Kennedy to address citizen comments. The first “recharge” meeting for project refinement was to be held on February 27. Though it might be argued by some that the project is unnecessary in its entirety, the consistent effort being made to better suit the requests of the citizens is indicative of the responsiveness of ...
The front porch of my house was dirty, covered with red mud and the pain was chipping off the floor. So I decided to give it a face lift. This process involved washing and removing the furniture. Scrubbing the chipped paint of the floor. Giving the front porch floor a coat of paint.
How to create an environment suitable for human living when resources are limited is a challenging problem for modern society. My strong interest in photography and art has compelled me to become especially observant toward the relationship between human beings and the environment. I have come to realize that the environment we live in has suffered much damage from pollution and lacks competent planning, making it difficult to find beautiful scenery to photograph or sketch. I began to think that I could make use of my artistic gift, concern about, and interest in the environment by entering the field of landscape design and putting my effort into beautifying our surroundings. Therefore, after graduating from high school, I entered the Department of Landscape Architecture at ABC University.

In a world where over half of the human population calls a city their home, the need to restructure and revolutionize the way we design our urban environments has never been greater. Currently, the notion that these vast metropolises of metal, concrete, and sludge could one day be fully realized pillars of sustainability is certainly laughable. However, when these same cities are constantly growing and multiplying across the globe, all the while using a greater and greater chunk of our planet’s energy, this impossible task becomes a necessary focus. To strive towards the closed, continuous loop of “true” sustainability could greatly alter the image of the modern city. Any improvement over the current state of urban affairs could carry weight, and even if that goal is not entirely fulfilled, the gained benefits would be immense.
Land, the “stage” on which all human activities are carried out, is the solid part of the earth on which plants grow and buildings are constructed. It is one of the numerous natural resources found on planet Earth utilized by man in many ways for various uses or purposes. The uses to which land is put differ from place to place and include among others, agriculture, mining, grazing, construction, logging. To some people, the terms ‘Landuse’ and ‘Landcover’ are different yet closely linked characteristics of the Earth’s surface while to others, they mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
The commonwealth of Massachusetts has many different requirements for people who want to become registered land surveyors. Applicants for registration as a Land Surveyor require five references; three of these five must be from registered Land Surveyors who have seen the work of the applicant. The present supervisor should also be a reference. These references should cover the applicant’s entire surveying career.
This module broadens our understanding on the ways in which buildings are constructed and the purpose of choosing materials and structures for buildings. This module is divided into survey, structure, materials and construction. These are taught specifically through lectures, tutorial exercises, drawings and lab test workshops. The lectures were an explanation of the topics in which our knowledge was put into practice by solving and experimenting questions during tutorials and workshops. By the end of the year, we gained great knowledge on the contents of this module by taking part in this structured order of learning and understanding in workshops and tutorials.
