Zoning

G1 — Open space with recreation

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

M3 — Neighbourhood centre

A local centre: shops, services and apartments over them, serving the surrounding housing.

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.
