Appeal
Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
Zoned to protect agriculture, rural enterprise and biodiversity. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need.
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.
