    Zoning at the site

    C2.1 — Economic development and employment

    Business and General Employment: Promote the development of New Business and General Employment Areas as the primary locations for the development of employment uses such as light industry, wholesale and non-retail trading uses, carshowrooms and small/medium scale manufacturing/repairs/

    Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Existing Residential/Mixed Residential and Other Uses: The scale of new residential and mixed residential developments within the Existing Residential/Mixed Residential and Other Uses within the settlement network should normally respect the pattern and grain of existing urban development in the surrounding

    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.
