Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
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.
Reserved for civic, religious, community, education, health-care and social infrastructure.
Protections nearby 250 m
No mapped flood area nearby.
