Zoning
Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
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.
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.
