Amenity / Green links/Biodiversity conservation/ Open Space/Recreation: To allow for green links and biodiversity conservation and to preserve, provide and improve recreational open space

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

Mixed Use Zoning: To encourage the development of under utilised and brownfield lands with a view to consolidating and adding vitality to these areas and ensuring the efficient use of urban lands.

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

Agriculture: This land will not be released for development during the lifetime of this plan unless the following criteria are satisfied...

Zoned to protect agriculture, rural enterprise and biodiversity. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need.

Existing Residential: To protect and improve residential amenities and to provide for new residential development appropriate to the scale and character of the settlement

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.
