Zoning, protection, tax and flood: the detail
What it says
Existing Residential: To provide for residential development, protect and improve existing 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.
