Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
Zoned to protect the open land between urban areas. Development is strongly resisted.
Zoned for new residential communities. This is where large housing schemes are expected to go, subject to the social and physical infrastructure arriving with them.
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.
