Weakness and Strength of proposed site

1.The TNB sub power station is a constraint

to the site as it will emit radioactive that will

affect the humans’ health. The TNB sub

power station is a disturbing view to the

landscape of the site too.

2.The drainage system around the selected site is also a

constraint to the site as the unpleasant odour that is produced

by the drain water will affect the residents’ health. Other than

that, it also affect the visual landscape of the site.

3.The crossroad near the site is

one of the strength as it increase

the population and cars to go to

the selected site.
