There are a couple of large areas where prescriptive design requirements aren't appropriate. These are mainly large areas where new roads will be required. They're also areas with few existing neighbours, so hopefully DAs in those situations will be more about flexibility to design the site appropriately, rather than about opportunities for opposition.
These sites are relatively few in relation to the size of the Centre Plan area. They include Penhorn Mall, Shannon Park, and a couple of other sites.
