Zoning at the site
Existing Residential: The obj. for land zoned ‘existing residential’ is to conserve & enhance the quality and character of the areas, to protect residential amenities and to allow for small scale infill development which is appropriate to the character and pattern of Dev
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.
Commercial: The use of land zoned for ‘commercial’ purposes shall be taken to include the use of the lands for commercial and business uses including offices, service industry, warehousing and the facilitation of enterprise/retail/office type uses as appropriate
Zoned for bulky-goods retail warehousing — large sheds, large car parks.
Tourism: Land zoned for tourism development shall be used for a range of structures and activities which are primarily designed to facilitate tourism development
Land zoned for business use. Expect offices, warehousing, industry or retail rather than housing; a residential application here is swimming against the plan.
Open Space: It is intended that lands zoned ‘open space’ will be retained as undeveloped open space, mainly for passive open space related activities. The open space/park areas could contain active play facilities such as children’s play areas etc.
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
Recreation: This category of zoning provides for the use of land for the provision of sports grounds/playing pitches, golf courses, tennis courts and other active indoor and outdoor recreational facilities etc.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
Mixed Use: The use of land for ‘mixed use’ developments shall incl. the use of land for a range of uses, making provision, where appropriate, for primary and secondary uses e.g. commercial/retail development as the primary use with residential dev. as secondary
The main town centre — retail, offices, civic uses, apartments.
Existing Residential: The obj. for land zoned ‘existing residential’ is to conserve & enhance the quality and character of the areas, to protect residential amenities and to allow for small scale infill development which is appropriate to the character and pattern of Dev
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.
Community: The development of lands for community uses shall be taken to include the use of lands for community, civic, health services, public or educational uses including the provision of schools, community halls, healthcare facilities etc.
Reserved for civic, religious, community, education, health-care and social infrastructure.
