METROPOLITAN CASTLEREAGH

 


image

The portion of the Metropolitan Development Limit within Castlereagh District is designated to prevent suburban sprawl and urban impingement into the open countryside and maintain a separation between Metropolitan Castlereagh and Carryduff.  

The Metropolitan Development Limit relates to the entire Contiguous Development Zone[1] (CDZ) and in addition to the portion within Castlereagh  district, extends into the neighbouring council areas of Belfast, Carrickfergus,  Lisburn, Newtownabbey, and North Down.
