Zoning
Zoned for bulky-goods retail warehousing — large sheds, large car parks.
Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.
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.
Land zoned for housing. Expect infill, extensions and — on larger plots — apartment or scheme applications that accord with the objective.
