In the period from December 1998 to July 2004, a total of 766 dwellings
were completed in the town. In July 2004 there were a
further 103 dwellings under construction and 155 dwellings with planning permission
but not commenced.
A thorough evaluation of urban capacity has resulted in the identification
of a further 26 sites with a total area of 29.9 hectares and
an estimated potential of 729 dwellings within Ballymoney’s urban footprint,
which are physically suitable for housing development. It is assumed, within the Plan
period, 60% of this potential will be completed, therefore the projected yield from
the identified urban capacity sites is 437.
In the context of development experience in the past 5 years, the Plan
projects a further 73 dwellings may be expected to be developed on
windfall sites over the remainder of the Plan period, bringing the total
estimated yield within the urban footprint to 520 dwellings.
The Plan retains three undeveloped, urban fringe housing zonings from the
previous Area Plan, with a total area of 4.0 hectares and an
estimated capacity of 81 dwellings.
An extensive area of 11.2 hectares with an estimated capacity of 225
dwellings, which was previously zoned housing land, between Finvoy
Road and Bravallen Road, will be held for development into the second half of
the Plan period. These Phase 2 housing lands will not be released for development
before the year 2010. Its release will also be dependent on regular monitoring of
the Plan, demonstrating that the need for these lands remains and there is a
satisfactory balance of development, meeting the RDS objective of at least 60%
of housing being completed within the urban footprint.
