    Zoning at the site

    C2.1 — Economic development and employment

    Enterprise and Employment: To promote and provide for the development of enterprise and employment generating uses

    Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Existing / Infill Residential: To protect and improve existing residential amenity; to provide for appropriate infill residential development; to provide for new and improved ancillary services

    An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
