Site plan

[1] Such a plan of a site is a "graphic representation of the arrangement of buildings, parking, drives, landscaping and any other structure that is part of a development project".

[2] A site plan is a "set of construction drawings that a builder or contractor uses to make improvements to a property.

The specific objects and relations shown are dependent on the purpose for creating the plot plan, but typically contain: retained and proposed buildings, landscape elements, above-ground features and obstructions, major infrastructure routes, and critical legal considerations such as property boundaries, setbacks, and rights of way… Site analysis is an inventory completed as a preparatory step to site planning, a form of urban planning which involves research, analysis, and synthesis.

[7] Planners must take into consideration not only heights of buildings, traffic flows, open spaces, parking for cars/bikes, but also the project's potential impact to the stakeholders involved.

However, planners are increasingly expected to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, especially due to the rising importance of environmentalism.

[8] Urban, city, and town planning explores a very wide range of aspects of the built and social environments of places.
