what do you understand from the RICS guidance note on Land Measurement for development purposes

Answer 5

It provides clarity and consistency on such matters
for built environment professionals and other stakeholders by enabling accurate descriptions
and assessments of the size of a development site at all stages of the development process.
It identifies five principal measurements that apply in planning and development practice.
These form the core definitions of this guidance, which should be used wherever possible:
* Land ownership area (LOA)
* Site area (SA)
* Net development area (NDA)
* Plot ratio (PR) and
* Site coverage (SC).
