Devil What is an obstacle free zone ?

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering what was an obstacle free zone at an Airport ? The
ICAO definition is far too complicated and I quote- The airspace above the
inner approach surface,inner transitional surfaces, and baulked landing surface and that portion of that strip bounded by these surfaces,which is not
penetrated by any other obstacle other than a low mass and frangibly mounted one for navigation purposes.

Are these depicted on Approach charts? Could anyone please enlighten me
using simplistic phraseology.
