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.
Land zoned for housing. Expect infill, extensions and — on larger plots — apartment or scheme applications that accord with the objective.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
