Analysis checklist

LOCATION
 Relative location
 Locality
 Absolute location
- latitude and longitude

SHAPE
 the geological form of the area to be studied, whether it’s on high or low land and
other
related aspects.
1. Area- the size of the distinct place to be studied
1 Regional identity
 identifying the common characteristics of the region or sub-region.
 relate to climate and physical geography as well as to socio-economic profile.
2 Linkages to surroundings
 is it a linear structure along a main route or part of a grid of streets?
3 Local character
 the form of a place and the way it is used.
 How can these be built into a project?
 Are there particular local materials, building forms and features that can be used
as a source of inspiration?
4 Morphology
 Define what gives shape to the local morphology
 historic routes,
 block patterns,
 building heights and
 massing,
 local vernacular

5 Natural features
 particular ecological or geological characteristics,
 its essential character?

6 Socio- economic profile

 particular local traditions and events to draw influence from.

Continuity and enclosure
Clarity of form
A place where public and private space are clearly distinguished
• Streets,
footpaths and
open spaces
• Clear distinction between public and private space
• Avoiding gaps in the line of buildings
• Enclosing streets and other spaces by buildings and trees of a scale that feels comfortable
and
appropriate to the character of the space
• No leftover spaces unused and uncared for
• The relationship between new Development and nature, land form and existing buildings
• The framework of routes and spaces
Ease of movement
Connectivity and permeability
A place that is easy to get to and move through
• Density highest where access to public transport is best
• Roads, footpaths and public spaces connected into well-used routes
• Easy accessibility
• Direct routes that lead to where people want to go, that connect locally and more widely,
and the way
developments, routes, open spaces and precincts relate to one another
• A choice of safe, high quality routes

Legibility
Ease of understanding
A place that has a clear image and is easy to understand
• Clear and easily navigable routes
• Gateways to particular areas
Adaptability
Ease of change
 A place that can change easily

Diversity
Ease of choice
A place with variety and mixed uses
• A mix of compatible uses and tenures
• Variety of layout and building form
• Diverse communities and cultures
• Variety of architectural styles
• Biodiversity
Urban grain
The nature and extent of the Subdivision of the area into smaller development parcels
showing:
• The pattern and scale of streets, blocks and plots
• The rhythm of building frontages along the street as a reflection of the plot subdivision

Local plan policies

• Design
• Strategic views
• Land uses
• Transportation plans
• Temporary uses
• Specific constraints (eg. airport Protection zones)

Capital work programs
