| Z11: Waterways Protection: To protect and improve canal, coastal and river amenities. | DU-001:DP:development-plan-2022-2028 | 11 Sept 2026 | G3 | High amenity | Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area. |
| Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services. | DU-001:DP:development-plan-2022-2028 | 11 Sept 2026 | G5 | Open space and amenity | Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected. |
