Zoning

Zone Z8 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

G5 — Open space and amenity

Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

O2 — Green belt

Zoned to protect the open land between urban areas. Development is strongly resisted.
