TOWN PLANNING
The subject lands are zoned Z2: Residential Neighbourhoods (Conservation Areas) ‘To protect

areas is to protect them from unsuitable new developments or works that would have a negative impact on the amenity or architectural quality of the area.
The principal land-use in residential conservation areas is housing but can include a limited range of other uses. In considering other uses, the guiding principle is to enhance the architectural quality
of the streetscape and the area, and to protect the residential character of the area. Permissible uses under this zoning include: Buildings for the health, safety and welfare of the public, childcare facility, embassy residential, home-based economic activity, medical and related consultants, open space, public service installation, residential.
