Strategic Site Planning

Strategic Site Planning Once the context is understood and the site has been surveyed, the urban design/landscape strategy can be prepared for the site. The strategy sets out how the site should be developed, for example, to retain the best of the existing landscape resource of the site. The strategy might identify the best location for open space to achieve the best views out of the site, or to provide an appropriate setting for trees which need to be retained. Alternatively, it might orientate urban space within the site to optimise views. An early and sound design strategy is essential if the best development layout is to be achieved.
