Settlement Development Limit
|
A settlement development limit is designated as
identified on Map No. 94a - Glen.
|
The settlement development limit is designated
to provide development opportunities in line with the scale, character and role
of this linear settlement, while preventing ribboning and encroachment into the
surrounding countryside, and excluding lands of high environmental quality and
wildlife value along the Milltown Burn. The settlement development limit is also
drawn to protect the landscape and visual amenity of this gateway to the
Glenshane Pass and Sperrins Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A Local Landscape Policy Area is designated as

Areas.
Those features or combination of features that contribute to the environmental
quality, integrity or character of this area are listed below:
- St. Patrick’s (RC) Church, a Listed Building (and graveyard) is a locally
significant building. Views of the church from within the settlement are

of mature trees on its western boundary contributes to the setting of the
house. The site contributes to the character and setting of the settlement;

features and acts as a wildlife corridor.
