Housing

 
 

The Plan zones approximately 52 hectares of land for housing in Carryduff within the Plan period. Further details regarding housing are contained in Volume 1 and in the Population and Housing Technical Supplement.

Sites have been selected to allow for efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments. The percentage figure for development within the urban footprint of Carryduff is 28%. Other factors influencing site selection include accessibility to the Town Centre, access to public transport and the aim to minimise detrimental impact on the environment.

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

In the case of the 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 line with the requirements of Planning Policy Statement 7 (PPS7) Quality Residential Environments.
