Baseline analysis and Proposals Report (OA level for the Parish of Wilmslow)
Introduction (300 words)
Set out what it is that you are focusing on in your baseline report, what datasets are you analysing and why? The introduction should also set out the scope of what you are doing so the reader knows what to expect.
Basic facts and figures (300 words)
You need to start with a simple map of Wilmslow to show where it is in relation to the wider region.
What is the population, summary of the people, place, environment etc. to set the context within which your analysis sits? Can you produce any infographics? Is it appropriate to provide some summary statistics using Excel, such as bar charts, scatter plots to visualize your data? Are there any correlations in your data?
Baseline maps (400 words)
Map out some of the basic spatial information for your chosen topic, make sure the maps are legible, i.e. can they be read easily? Maps should not be any less than ½ page of an A4 sheet, any smaller and they cannot be read or interpreted by the reader.
