Zoning

G1 — Open space with recreation

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

G3 — High amenity

Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

G5 — Open space and amenity

Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

O2 — Green belt

Zoned to protect the open land between urban areas. Development is strongly resisted.

R1 — New residential

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

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.
