Commencement

No commencement notice matched to this reference.

    Zoning at the site

    G5 — Open space and amenity

    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.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Existing low density residential: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities at low density

    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.
