             iii   allotment sizes and densities which are consistent with the character of the
                   particular neighbourhood;
             iv    building styles befitting the character of the locality and the regional climate,
                   and which respond to, and are integrated with, natural site characteristics
                   including native vegetation;
             v     various styles and eras depicting a cross section of architectural development
