On every site

Roads and traffic
Distance to a motorway and to an A road, and the daily traffic count on the road where the Department for Transport counts it.
Shape and ground
Width at the widest point, how compact the plot is, its slope and the share in each flood zone.
The town it serves
The population of the built-up area, and spare demand capacity at the nearest primary substation.

Why these rules

Self-storage operators want 0.5 to 5 acres, prominent and roadside (Big Yellow, Safestore requirements); busier roads rank higher. Woodland is left out.
