Tiered Approach to Land Zoning

Summary Table of Land Use Zoning Objectives

12.13 The National Planning Framework (NPF) sets out a two-tier approach to land zoning. National Policy Objective 72a requires planning authorities to apply a standardised tiered approach to differentiate between (i) zoned land that is serviced and (ii) zoned land that is serviceable within the life of the Plan. Tier 1 comprises serviced zoned lands that is sufficiently serviced to accommodation new development. Tier 2 lands are serviceable zoned lands that are not currently fully serviced but have the potential to become fully serviced within the life of the Plan. The Core Strategy provides details of the zoning tiers. 12.14 This Plan includes a Tier 3, which are strategic lands necessary for long-term planning of infrastructure, given the ambition growth target set out in the NPF, but also provide for substitution of Tier 1 or Tier 2 lands that do not come forward for development within this Plan period, where appropriate.

12.15 Each of the twenty-two land use zoning objectives are set out below in this Chapter. They are grouped under six general use categories and are summarised in the table below.
