Zoning at the site
Zone Z9 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028
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.
Z4: Key Urban Villages/Urban Villages: To provide for and improve mixed-services facilities.
A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.
