LISBURN CITY

The Plan zones approximately 246 hectares of land for housing in Lisburn City within the Plan period including 9 hectares for social housing identified by the Housing Needs Assessment carried out by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE). Further details regarding housing are contained in the Housing Section in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan and in the Population and Housing Technical Supplement.

Sites are selected to allow for the efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments. Other factors influencing site selection include access to public transport, and the need to minimise any detrimental impact on the environment.

Land zoned for housing will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and with the Plan Proposals, including Key Site Requirements where stipulated. These may include access/infrastructure requirements, public open space provision, protection or enhancement of nature conservation interests, landscaping, provision for walking and/or cycling, local neighbourhood facilities and other site-specific requirements.

In the case of larger sites, the submission of a concept master plan is a Key Site Requirement in the interests of securing a well designed development of high quality in accordance with the requirements of PPS 7, Quality Residential Environments.
