into three parts to grow three different types of plants: fruit trees, soft fruits and
vegetables. In the eastern corner of farm, there were three places located near each
other: a barn, a farmhouse and a place to raise chickens.Moreover, a small road
branched off from the main road and separated sheep farm from the rest of the site.

shop has been added to the site for fruit trees. Holiday cottages are constructed in
the place of barn whereas another barn is built and connects to the road. There are
up to two parking zones across the road to meet the transport needs (accommodate

car park and a garden. In addition, another garden was located in the northern side
of the museum.
Turning to the map in 2010, inside the museum, a store room remained unchanged,
however, two seperated exhibition rooms were turned into (combined into) a larger
room. One exhibiton room was demolished, which allowed the shop to be
enlarged. In the southern part of museum, a café was built to replace the cottage.

the roundabout and directly leads to an air field, where planes regularly take off
and land. A small road crosses the railway, connecting the roundabout to the town
center. Surrounding the town center is a ring road that serves the built-up area.
Alongside the railway, there was a gas station constructed to meet transportation
needs.
Turning to the proposed plan, there will be a new large road leading into the town
center. Around the town center, the ring road will be shrunk to make room for
other facilities. In addition to the A2 road remaining unchanged, A4 road will be
added. Besides, there is going to be new roundabout constructed in the middle of
the town, where the current railway crosses the small road. Moreover, the gas
station will stay the same whereas an industrial estate will take the place of the air
field.
