    Zoning at the site

    Zone Z1 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

    G3 — High amenity

    Z11: Waterways Protection: To protect and improve canal, coastal and river amenities.

    Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

    G5 — Open space and amenity

    Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.

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

    R2 — Existing residential

    Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.

    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.

    R3 — Rural cluster

    Z14: Strategic Development and Regeneration Areas (SDRAs): To seek the social, economic and physical development and/or regeneration of an area with mixed-use, of which residential would be the predominant use.

    A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.
