Zoning

G1 — Open space with recreation

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

N6 — Strategic infrastructure

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

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.
