Central Craigavon
Central Craigavon has two main industrial areas in planned
industrial estates -Carn and New Charlestown Road. In addition, there is some
industrial/ business development at the Bluestone Business Centre in Brownlow.
The location, scale and distribution of this existing industry are important to
the continued economic prosperity of Central Craigavon and the Borough as a
whole.

C/I 2 Land north of Northway and East of
New Charlestown Road (66.03 hectares)
|
Key site requirements:
- a detailed planting plan
for the proposed development shall be submitted with a
planning application for full or outline permission. The
existing vegetation on the south eastern boundary of the
site shall be retained. Supplementary planting of trees and
bushes of appropriate species will be required on all
boundaries to provide screening for the development and
facilitate its integration into the surrounding landscape. A
significant belt of new planting will be required along the
entire northern, eastern and western boundaries of the site;
- any development shall
provide for an area of landscaped open space as indicated in
Map
C/I 2 to provide a buffer between existing housing and
future industrial activity;
- all buildings should be of
a high quality of design, with varied elevational treatment
and heights;
- any access to the
development onto Carn Road will require road widening. The
development can also be accessed onto the proposed
M12-Central Way link road. Access onto either road will
require a right turning lane and provision of a footway link
to the nearest existing footway network. In both cases,
third party land will be required to accommodate the access
and footway. Access standards with regard to visibility
splays and forward visibility must be met. Access directly
onto Northway will not be permitted;
- a Traffic Impact
Assessment will be required in order to assess the need for
and extent of any further works; and
- the proposal should make
provision for access by public transport.
|
The developer should note that pumping of foul sewage will be
required for part of the site. Also, the site is traversed by an
existing foul sewer. No building will be permitted over, or
within 6 metres either side of, this sewer. There are no public
surface water sewers available to serve this site. Surface water
may be discharged into a watercourse traversing the site,
subject to consent. In addition, the developer should note that
the low-lying, marshy ground along the northern boundary of the
site may be liable to periodic
waterlogging and the areas adjacent to watercourses may be
subject to marginal flooding.

south of Mandeville Road (41.72 hectares)
|
Key site requirements:
- a detailed planting plan
for the proposed development shall be submitted with a
planning application for full or outline permission. The
existing vegetation on the eastern boundary of the site
shall be retained. Supplementary planting of trees and
bushes of appropriate species will be required on all
boundaries to provide screening for the development and
facilitate its integration into the surrounding landscape. A
significant belt of new planting will be required along the
entire northern, eastern and western boundaries of the site;
- any development will need
to provide for an area of landscaped open space as indicated
in
Map C/I 3 to provide a buffer between existing/future
housing and future industrial activity;
- all buildings should be of
a high quality of design, with varied elevational treatment
and heights;
- the development will be
accessed onto the existing roundabouts on Mandeville Road to
the northwest and Knockmenagh Road to the east. In both
cases, access standards with regard to visibility splays and
forward visibility must be met. Footway links to the nearest
existing footway network will be required;
- a Traffic Impact
Assessment will be required in order to assess the need for
and extent of any further works; and
- the proposal should make
provision for access by public transport.

C/I 4 Land
west of Charlestown Road (20.13 hectares)
|
Key site requirements:
- the results of a
comprehensive survey, identifying trees, hedgerows and other
vegetation to be retained and incorporated into the proposed
development, shall be submitted with a planning application
for outline or full permission;
- a detailed planting plan
for the proposed development shall be submitted with a
planning application for outline or full permission. The
existing vegetation on the site boundaries shall be
retained. Supplementary planting of trees and bushes of
appropriate species will be required on all boundaries to
provide screening for the development and facilitate its
integration into the surrounding landscape;
- any development will need
to provide for an area of landscaped open space as indicated
in Map C/I 4 to
provide a buffer between existing housing and future
industrial activity. The existing vegetation on the eastern
boundary of the site should be supplemented with trees and
bushes of similar species;
- all buildings should be of
a high quality of design, with varied elevational treatment
and heights;
- there is evidence of
recent badger activity on this site. The badger is a
protected species under the Wildlife (Northern Ireland)
Order 1985 and a developer must conform with the statutory
species protection measures for badgers;
- any development will be
accessed onto Charlestown Road at the north eastern corner
of the site. This will require improvement of the
Charlestown Road/New Charlestown Road link and stopping up
of the northern section of Charlestown Road. A right turning
lane will be required on New Charlestown Road. Access
standards with regard to visibility splays and forward
visibility must be met. A footway link to the nearest
existing footway network on Charlestown Road will be
required; and
- the proposal should make
provision for access by public transport.

The developer
should note that pumping of foul sewage will be required for the western part of
the site. Also, the site is traversed by an existing foul sewer and pumping
sewer. No building will be permitted over, or within 6 metres either side of,
these sewers. In addition, the developer should note that some of the low-lying,
flat land may be liable to waterlogging and localised ponding, and land adjacent
to watercourses may be subject to marginal flooding.
