How to construct or extend a fence in a residential zone

2. The land is in any residential zone except the Low Density Residential Zone; and
3. If the land is in any of the following overlays, that further information is requested:
   • Environmental Significance Overlay
   • Significant Landscape Overlay
   • Design and Development Overlay
   • Heritage Overlay
4. Does not trigger a permit under another part of the planning scheme
