Zoning
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.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
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.
