Zoning

C5 — Commercial, enterprise and employment

Land zoned for business use. Expect offices, warehousing, industry or retail rather than housing; a residential application here is swimming against the plan.

G1 — Open space with recreation

Open space with active recreational amenities — pitches, courts, play areas.

R2 — Existing residential

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.
