 Defining Planning Zones for the 1918 Historic Area

Because of the extent and uneven quality of transformations of the traditional city fabric, three zones have been identified.

Each zone will be regulated differently, depending on the quality and integrity of its urban structure and buildings:

  • Zone A is the portions of the city fabric which has maintained its overall integrity and which will be subjected to stricter conservation controls.
  • Zone B: covers the portions of city fabric of lesser architectural and urban integrity, but which are recognisable as complete systems requiring forms of coordinated intervention.
  • Zone C  refers to the remaining portion of city fabric comprised within the 1918 city boundary.  Although these areas have already been extensively altered and retain fewer elements of urban significance, they can be considered a buffer or protection area in between and around those portions of the city fabric that are subject to stricter controls.
