Established residential areas are residential neighbourhoods dominated by medium to low density single family housing with associated private amenity space or gardens, which may include proportionate-scale commercial, retail or leisure services use.
For the purposes of this Addendum and in order to clarify the existing application of the term, established residential areas are normally taken to mean residential neighbourhoods dominated by medium to low density single family housing with associated private amenity space or gardens. These areas may include buildings in commercial, retail or leisure services use, usually clustered together and proportionate in scale to the size of the neighbourhood being served.
