ME - Metro Economic Corridor: Provide for an area of compact, high intensity/density, employment generating activity with associated commercial and residential development which focuses on the Metro within a setting of exemplary urban design, public realm streets and places, which are permeable, secure and within a high quality green landscape. Landmark buildings will provide strong quality architectural features, which respect and enhance the character of the area into which they sit. The designated areas will form sustainable districts which possess a high degree of connectivity and accessibility and will be developed in a phased manner subject to the necessary provision of social and physical infrastructure.

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

Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.

A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.

Zoned for new residential communities. This is where large housing schemes are expected to go, subject to the social and physical infrastructure arriving with them.

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.
