Other modifications are needed to make the document succinct and to include or amplify details relating to the objective / aim of the development, phasing and delivery, household types, landscaping and highway matters.

Annotate Landscape Assessment Plan to show school playing fields, trees and parkland, contours, extent of semi-improved grassland and structural landscaping opportunities.
