SETTLEMENT PROPOSALS
SMALL SETTLEMENTS

 
 


Trooperslane
 

 
Trooperslane is a small settlement with approximately 41 dwellings and a population of 109 in 2001. It is situated at the junction with the B90 Upper Road, a protected route, and the Trooperslane Road. It is bounded to the south by the railway line.
 

Designation TE 01  Settlement Development Limit
                                 Trooperslane

A Settlement Development Limit is designated for Trooperslane as identified on Map No. 6 - Trooperslane.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to protect the setting of the settlement, prevent unnecessary urban encroachment into the open countryside, prevent the creation of additional accesses onto the B90 Protected Route and prevent coalescence with Carrickfergus. There is some opportunity for limited infill or rounding off within the Settlement Development Limit.

The Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan (BMTP) has identified an area south of Trooperslane as a Park and Ride. This site is within the Carrickfergus Settlement Development Limit in close proximity to the railway line and is designated accordingly at CS 14.
