My Starting Point

My starting point for the project was that I needed to buy a map so that I could pinpoint where each of the building sites were that I was going to be photographing, at the same time I looked them up on Google Maps on my phone so that I could get the exact location marked onto the map.

These are all building sites that I knew about, I drive past pretty much all of them on a daily basis whether I'm on my way to work, coming home from work, going to university or just driving around my local town. There is a lot of building work going on around Sittingbourne, especially with the new cinema and restaurant area that they are building in the centre of town, however, I didn't feel that the town renovations fit in with my chosen theme as I wanted the project to be solely about County Councils destroying natural areas to develop housing.

After marking each building site location on the map it was time for me to decide on the route that I was going to take, I ended up deciding to work backwards, so I planned to start with the furthest site away from my house and work backwards so the order went:

1) Faversham (Graveney Road)

2) Faversham/Oare (Western Link)

3) Bapchild (Fox Hill)

4) Sittingbourne (B2006)

5) Sittingbourne (Church Street)

6) Sittingbourne/Bobbing (Vellum Drive)

7) Sittingbourne/Borden (Wises Lane/Cryalls Lane)
