Zoning at the site
OS: To preserve and provide for open space and recreational amenities
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
RU: To protect and improve rural amenity and to provide for the development of agriculture
Zoned to protect agriculture, rural enterprise and biodiversity. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need.
RES-N: To provide for new residential communities in accordance with approved area plans
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.
RES: To protect and/or improve residential amenity
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.
