So these are two road layouts I have managed to produce, to see which plan was most effective I will now start placing the houses. Which ever plan allows me to build most houses on will help me identify the most effective layout.
A disadvantage of masterplan layout 1 was that because of where the road placed I wasn't able to place as many houses as I wanted alongside the main road. This will road will be incredibly important for using as a selling point as this will give people first impressions as a lot of people will be driving up and down it.
I also feel masterplan layout 2 is better designed in terms of density and I feel that there is much less space wasted compared to the masterplan layout 1. So overall, I do feel masterplan layout 2 will be most effective and I will now start to develop this further.
