Zoning
C1.1 — Retail warehousing
Zoned for bulky-goods retail warehousing — large sheds, large car parks.
G4 — Open space
Open space and recreational amenity, to be preserved as such.
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.
R3 — Rural cluster
A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.
C3 — High technology
Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.
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.
