Choosing a site
Which place best supports the decision?
Compare locations, access, utilities, constraints and permitted-use pathways.

Authored concept · Not to scale · No site findings or capacity established.
Illustrative concept · no measured site geometry or approved layout.
Orientation
See the question in context.
Introduce the site and the relationships the study needs to examine.
01 / Location & access
Compare candidate parcels, road connections and surrounding uses.
02 / Authority & constraints
Identify governing sources, service availability and unresolved constraints.
03 / Decision & next steps
Compare alternatives against the same criteria, with evidence gaps visible.

One example / industrial infill
A working yard, considered from three angles.
Compare candidate industrial locations by access, neighboring uses, service needs and approval questions.
These same study types apply to homes, commercial sites, community amenities and working lands. Scope and research depth follow the site area, proposed program and complexity.
