Zoning
N6 — Strategic infrastructure
Land tied to a national or strategic asset (airport, port, rail corridor). Uses are controlled by that asset's own plan.
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.
