In order to setup VPNs it is best to avoid NAT if at all possible as it
REALLY complicates matters.

You need to set up 2 IP addresses on the Netgear, one for the LAN which
is on a different subnet to the Zoom and one for the port which is on
the same subnet as the Zoom.

Try setting up the networks as follows:
Dudley LAN         192.168.0.0/24 GW:192.168.0.3
Dudley Netgear     LAN: 192.168.0.3  WAN: 192.168.1.2  GW: 192.168.1.1
Dudley Zoom        IP: 192.168.1.1/24
Halesowen Zoom     IP: 192.168.2.1/24
Halesowen Netgear  LAN: 192.168.3.3  WAN: 192.168.2.2  GW: 192.168.2.1
Halesowen LAN      192.168.3.0/24
