The site consists of both positive and negative points; the negative points would be that there are many dead end roads, which makes it confusing and inconvenient to navigate for both pedestrians and vehicles. Another negative point would be the buildings surrounding the pond, effectively privatising it, however the pond itself is a positive point. The houses on the edge of the marina have a tall wall which blocks the view of the canal and marina, a site like that should be framed not blocked. The primary materials used on the houses in this area are predominantly brick façade and elements of timber, mostly used to create balconies and balustrades.
