           Rural - applied to broad rural holdings
           Rural Settlement - for rural land subdivided into lots of an average around 1 ha intended
            for rural homesite purposes
           Detached Housing - for individual house sites in urban areas
           Village Mix – commercial centres in the towns and villages.
