Zoning
Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.
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.
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.
