Teacher essay summary
An excellent review of a variety of urban issues, covering 2 specific cases - the superpub and Morrisons. The student shows very detailed knowledge of the area, with specific named examples, distances and companies. They would benefit from an introductory paragraph explaining what the report will do (aims) and this would help understand the structure. There are just a couple of examples of information that may not be relevant to the report overall, e.g. the stages and set up of the Council/planning permission. Although this is detailed info, it does not directly matter to the main issues of the report. There is some comparison and discussion of impacts and factors, showing some evaluation skills. This could be further evidenced if done in the final paragraph too.

LAND USE CHANGE IN NORTHAMPTON!
PART 1 (a):
Northampton is a large market town best known for its footwear and leather industries. The town has recently grown outwards to the east and west. Northampton is situated around the River Nene.
INDUSTRY:
Many of the old industrial sites are located with in the CBD. Companies like Latimer & Crick; Corn Merchants use to be located near South Bridge (Smiths Timber Yard use to be located at the bottom of Bridge Street. Padmore & Barnes, shoe manufacturers use to be located on St. James Road. I believe that these old industries were located in these areas mainly as a result of transport links. Smiths Timber Yard was located at the bottom of Bridge Street mainly because the River Nene flows around Bridge Street so therefore this would be an excellent means of transport for the Timber yard. Padmore & Barnes was located on St. James Rd mainly due to the fact that a railway line runs through the area leading to other parts of Northampton and eventually linking up to other parts of the country. Also, the River Nene runs through the St. James area
