Zoning

C2.1 — Economic development and employment

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

G3 — High amenity

Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

M5 — Mixed use — outer core

A mix of uses complementing a town centre, with less retail and residential than the core itself.

N6 — Strategic infrastructure

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

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.
