Zoning

C2.1 — Economic development and employment

Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.

C3 — High technology

Zoned for office, research and development and high-technology manufacturing.

C4 — Light industrial / warehousing

Zoned for low-density warehousing and light industry.

G1 — Open space with recreation

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

M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.

N2.3 — Strategic infrastructure

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

P5 — Rural and agricultural

Land zoned to stay rural. New houses are restricted to demonstrated local need under the rural-housing policy of the development 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.

M2 — Major town centre

The main town centre — retail, offices, civic uses, apartments.
