Zoning
Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.
A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.
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.
Reserved for civic, religious, community, education, health-care and social infrastructure.
