Zoning

C3 — High technology

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

G5 — Open space and amenity

Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

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.

S5 — Sustainable neighbourhood infrastructure

Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
