    Zoning at the site

    Zone Z8 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

    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.

    O2 — Green belt

    Z8: Georgian Conservation Areas: To protect the existing architectural and civic design character, and to allow only for limited expansion consistent with the conservation objective.

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