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 rural. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need under the rural-housing policy of the development 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.
