Complete the location recce for the final venue.
Type of room/area:
Outside House (street)

Location Address:
17 Beechwood Drive
Stoke-On-Trent
Cheshire (East)

Sat Nav details (Post

code): ST7 2HG
Nearest Train Station:
Alsager, Stoke-on-Trent

Nearest Bus stop:

Pikemere Road (NE-bound)

Lighting Information:

Solutions:

On the street are few trees which

allows for natural lighting but few
lampposts along the road. Outside the
house are wall lamps around the
doorway, but inside are pugs for
installing extra lighting as well as
permanent lighting already installed
within the house.

Little lighting at night from few

lampposts can be replicated by
transported lights which can be easily
installed due to easy accessible
electricity and easily accessible road.

Sound Information:

Solutions:

The road is on the edge of a town and a

pedestrian road with houses meaning a
small amount of cars use the road
which would create noise.

The street could be cordon off the road

but permission must be asked and give
notice to all street residents.

Power Information

Solutions:

No outside power but power inside the

house.

Power can be transferred with

extendable power chords.

Hazards

Solutions:

Other cars and pedestrians provide

hazards when unloading or setting up
scenes and lights on the street.

The street could be cordon off the road

but permission must be asked and give
notice to all street residents.
