Appeal
Appeal ABP-321771-25 (status unknown), not yet matched.
Zoning
Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.
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.
Protections nearby 250 m
No mapped flood area nearby.
