Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.
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.
A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.
