Ballycraigy settlement is situated
south of Kingsmoss, approximately 1km west of Glengormley Town Centre
and has developed along the junction of the Ballyvesey Road and the
Ballycraigy Road.
The Settlement Development Limit is drawn
to reflect existing development, to prevent further development along
the Ballyvesey Road, Ballycraigy Road and Gravelhill Road and to prevent
encroachment into the open countryside.
