Zoning
Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
Land zoned to keep urban areas apart. Development is strongly resisted.
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.
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.
