Welcome to OSM.
I can see that you are trying to add a "Development Site", though this is not complete. There was already a brownfield site show, Has this changed? Has construction started on this site? If so then rather than adding a new are, I would have changed the brownfield to a construction area (landuse=construction).
You have use a relation to join two lines together into an area. This is unnecessary, just draw a simple area.
You have made a common beginner's mistake and used the name tag to describe the area. We add a name as displayed on a sign or name board. If there is no name, we leave the name blank. The description of the area comes from using the right tagging scheme.

Hi there, yes i am very much a beginner. Trying to gather data on the layout and features of the area for my University coursework, in which the development site is completely theoretical for my project

Need to include maps and some sort of spatial analysis of the site, therefore have been experimenting with different websites, as i don't have the time to learn GIS efficiently.

OK,
If your edit is theoretical (or put another way: imaginary) it needs to be removed from OSM. We only want real objects in their correct location, correctly described. I will revert (undo) this edit.If you want to experiment with private overlays you might like http://umap.openstreetmap.fr
