    Zoning at the site

    G1 — Open space with recreation

    Open Space/Recreation & Amenity: To protect and enhance existing open space and provide for recreational and amenity space.

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

    N1.5 — Airport

    Transport Infrastructure: Facilitate the provision and maintenance of essential transportation infrastructure

    Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.

    P1 — Rural

    Agriculture: To promote the development of agriculture and agriculture related uses in accordance with proper planning and sustainable development.

    Zoned to protect agriculture, rural enterprise and biodiversity. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need.

    R1 — New residential

    Residential Infill: To protect, provide and improve residential areas within the lifetime of this plan

    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

    Residential Existing: To protect and improve residential amenities of existing residential areas

    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.

    S3 — Community infrastructure

    Community Facilities: To provide for civic, community and educational facilities

    Reserved for civic, religious, community, education, health-care and social infrastructure.
