Zoning at the site

O1 — Green belt and strategic open land

Strategic Reserve: To provide a land reserve for the orderly development and future expansion of the towns and villages into the future

Land zoned to keep urban areas apart. Development is strongly resisted.

R1 — New residential

New Residential: To provide for new residential development, supporting community facilities and other facilities and services incidental to residential development

Zoned for new residential communities. This is where large housing schemes are expected to go, subject to the social and physical infrastructure arriving with them.

R2 — Existing residential

Existing / Infill Residential: To protect and improve existing residential amenity; to provide for appropriate infill residential development; to provide for new and improved ancillary services

An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
