What's the planning story of this house?
When it was built, and the rules since
Most homes here were built 1991–2000, under planning permission and building regulations.
Each line is a rule that applies to work done after it.

Zoning, protection, tax and flood: the detail
What it says
RS: Provide for residential development and protect and 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.
