This 4.71 hectare site is partly green field and partly used for quarry related activities. The site rises to the north and is well treed along the western site boundary, which marks the break between town and country.

Key site requirements:

• adequate foul sewerage and a pumping station will be required;

• a right turning lane may be required at the access from Lissan Road;

• access through the site should be provided for public transport;

• the existing boundary trees and hedgerows should be retained;

• the treelined laneway on the eastern site boundary should be retained and pedestrian/cycle access provided;

• pedestrian/cycle access should also be made available to the housing site to the east of the site, H 01;

• at least 0.5 hectares of public open space incorporating children’s play provision should be provided, preferably located next to the eastern site boundary to link with the public open space required on the neighbouring housing site, H 01. The open space should also link with the pedestrian/cycle access along the eastern boundary; and

• the land on the site is steeply sloping and will require careful attention to matters relating to layout, siting, design and density.

Development of the site is dependent on provision of the Eastern Distributor Road, the final phase of which follows the western site boundary. In the construction of the Eastern Distributor Road, a subway should be provided. Favourable consideration will also be given to the provision of local convenience shopping provided the net floorspace does not exceed 250 square metres. The shopping should be an integral part of the housing layout. A walkway is proposed by the District Council along the old railway track towards the eastern boundary of the site.

Key site requirements:

• access should be taken from Fountain Road;

• a footway/cycleway through the site should be provided to link the eastern boundary with the proposed subway under the Eastern Distributor Road;

• access through the site should be provided for public transport;

• a full tree condition survey should be carried out and where appropriate, mature trees and hedgerows should be retained;

• buffer planting should be provided where the site abuts the proposed Eastern Distributor Road;

• the open watercourse to the south of the site should be retained and pedestrian/cycle access provided along its bank;

• a footway/cyclepath should be provided along the route of the old railway on the eastern boundary of the site;

• a range of housing densities and house types should be provided;

• provision of a minimum of 0.5 hectares of open space including a kickabout area. The open space should incorporate the footpath/cyclepath and informal planting along the watercourse on the western boundary; and

• a reasonable level of landscaping and buffer planting should be provided where the site abuts the Unipork Factory.

Key site requirements:

• a full tree condition survey should be carried out and where appropriate, mature trees and hedgerows should be retained;

• a minimum of 1.75 hectares of public open space is required. Part of this could be outside the housing land within the Local Landscape Policy Area along the north eastern boundary of the site next to the Ballinderry River, which would be ideal for an informal park. However, smaller areas for children’s play provision should also be located elsewhere on the site;

• vehicular access to the site should be from the Sandholes Road and right turning lanes may be required;

• access to the site will not be permitted from Dungannon Road;

• access through the site should be provided for public transport;

• pedestrian/cycle access should be made available from Sandholes Road to the Ballinderry River corridor;

• a footbridge/cycle bridge should be provided across the Ballinderry River to the adjacent shopping facilities;

• a range of house types should be provided; and

• some of the land on the site is steeply sloping and will require careful attention to matters relating to layout, siting, design and density.

Provided all the key site requirements for this site are met, favourable consideration will also be given to the provision of local convenience shopping provided provision does not exceed a net floorspace of 250 square metres. The shopping should be an integral part of the housing layout.

Key site requirements:

• the mature vegetation on the northern boundary of the site should be retained, subject to compliance with sight lines;

• additional screen planting of indigenous local species of trees and hedging should be provided along the western and southwestern site boundaries;

• a detailed tree survey should be carried out and where appropriate existing mature trees and hedgerows should be retained;

• housing should be orientated to avoid overlooking neighbouring back gardens along the eastern site boundary;

• a range of house types should be provided; and

• the layout should be designed to ensure that houses front onto Orritor Road.

Key site requirements:

• access through the site should be provided for public transport;

• the existing footway to the site frontage with Orritor Road will need to be widened;

• the mature vegetation to the north and western site boundaries should be retained and augmented;• a detailed tree condition survey, incorporating into the design those trees which are in good condition and can be retained, will be required;

• a minimum of 0.5 hectares of open space incorporating a kickabout area will be required. This should take the form of a linear park along the watercourse, which should be kept open as an amenity feature for the housing, with a walkway/cycleway running adjacent to it.

• access to the site from Maloon Road will require upgrading of Maloon Road and its junction with Orritor Road;

• a right turning lane may be required at the access from Orritor Road;

• the existing mature vegetation on the northern site boundary should be retained and augmented and the hedgerow along the eastern boundary incorporated into the housing layout;

• the stream on the northern site boundary should be left open and incorporated as a design feature in the form of a walkway/cycleway;

• the layout should be designed to ensure that houses front onto Orritor Road or Maloon Road;

• the barn building on site should be demolished to make efficient residential use of the site; and

• the pumping station should be upgraded to the satisfaction of Water Service.
