    Uneconomical Lay-out. ROADWAY ILLUSTRATION No. 5. The roadway marked A—B provides frontages for 8 houses only. It is 100 yards long, and on the basis assumed in para. 4 would cost about £600. It occupies frontage on the two main roads which would otherwise suffice for about 24 houses on each main road. By using this frontage and placing 4+ additional houses on the outer circular road, the £600 may be saved without decreasing the total number of houses on the site; the area of the road A—B being added to the gardens or open space.
