Settlement Development Limit

A settlement development limit is designated as
identified on Map No. 90a- Creagh.

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 Moyola River. The settlement as designated is
associated with the former airfield site, which is primarily in industrial and
agricultural use. This area is considered in Part 3 of the Plan.
