Site Analysis
Factors/condition Observations Effect on planning Site The site is approximately 2,700 square metres. The topography of the site falls from the east to the west across the site. The front (south side) of the site contains floor brick for footpath. The site surrounded by range of buildings. There are no building structure on the site. At present, there is open public access to the site is accessible from North side. (Refer to appendix 1)
Soils The soil is well compacted however, there are small trees Ground bearing is good, the depth of the foundation will depend on the loading. in the building land. Also there are two slopes. They will need to be a path for the entrance.
Sub-soils Sub-soil is clay soil. Good ground bearing for the foundations.
Lower strata/mining Rock mining is 50 m down. Good ground bearing for the foundations
Levels and contours The site is not level, it has two slopes. (Refer to appendix 6) The two slopes will need to be relatively aligned level, but no excessive changes.
Prevailing wind The wind is prevailing from North. Change is not needed, as its not likely to cause turbulence.
Made up ground After the tress have been removed, filling is needed. The Basement works requires extra work because of the slopes and the root of the trees. two slopes will need to be levelled also. Ditches Nil
Factors/condition Observations Effect on planning Wells and sumps Nil
Water table Very low water table . also the site level is very high. (Refer to appendix 2) No foundation problem.
Tree preservation There are few trees however they are not preserved. (Refer to appendix 3) Urban topography Mixed high and low rise. Rights of lights The structure of the gallery
