The diagrams illustrate the current configuration of the Norbiton industrial area and the prospective development of this site.
Overall, the comparison reveals a significant transformation from a solely industrial zone to a mixed-use community featuring residential, recreational, and commercial facilities alongside the existing factories.
Presently, the Norbiton industrial area predominantly consists of factories located in the northern section, adjacent to farmland that extends to the east. The layout includes a circular road with a single extension towards the east, connecting the factories situated on either side of the roadway. The town is positioned to the southwest of the industrial area, and a river flows horizontally at the upper part of both diagrams, currently serving to separate the industrial sector from the farmland.
In contrast, the future development plan proposes a significant reconfiguration of this area. New residential housing is slated to be constructed to the west of the factories, with a playground situated to the north, encircled by additional housing units. The farmland remains largely untouched, but plans indicate the introduction of a bridge spanning the river, facilitating access to the newly planned housing area. Furthermore, an expanded road system will incorporate two additional roundabouts, and various amenities such as shops and medical centers are envisioned to flank the roadways. Additionally, a school is proposed for the eastern side, indicating a shift toward creating a self-sufficient community that integrates both residential and industrial features.
