Zoning
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
The main town centre — retail, offices, civic uses, apartments.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
