Old Gort Road, Ennis, Co. Clare

Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.

Land tied to a national or strategic asset (airport, port, rail corridor). Uses are controlled by that asset's own plan.

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.
