  • Cemetery - Areas of land associated with burial areas.
  • Religious Grounds - Areas of land associated with churches and other places of worship. Only included where there are significant areas of green space (over 500m2 of natural space – identified as surfaces that are not manmade, such as grass, woodland and bare earth).
  • Golf Course - A specially prepared area intended for playing golf.
