Site analysis is the study of the plot's specific conditions in geographical, historical and legal terms.
First, it includes the study of location and orientation to determine the prevailing views, the influence of the sun, wind or environmental noise amongst other factors.
The historical report involves research of pre-existing and adjoining buildings, as well as the chronological evolution of the plot to estimate future developments.
