What should you consider before making your
choice?

• Its location (which part of the city is it in?)
  eg. outer suburbs near the edge, inner city
  near the centre
• How would people get there? is it accessible by
  road, rail, tram, car etc? How far to motorway,
  train station, tram stops?
• What it the land like? Is it suitable to build
  on? Is it level or sloping?
• Are there any natural hazards? Might it flood?
• What it in the immediate area? - type of
  housing, industry etc
• What is the environment like? - is it a
  BROWNFIELD (used for building already) or a
  GREENFIELD site (undeveloped land)?
• Would anyone object to this site? - consider
  traffic, noise, parking, effect on house prices
  etc.
• What benefit might the development bring to the
  local area?

  opposition from locals, using a greenfield site,
