Zoning

G1 — Open space with recreation

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

N1.5 — Airport

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

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.

R4 — Residential

Land zoned for housing. Expect infill, extensions and — on larger plots — apartment or scheme applications that accord with the objective.
