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 (Tier 1) and (ii) zoned land that is serviceable within the life of the Plan (Tier 2). The Draft Plan also proposed a Tier 3. The Core Strategy provides details of the zoning tiers.
