BUSHVALE
SETTLEMENT DESIGNATION
Bushvale is located 8 kilometres east of Ballymoney. It developed from a
small cluster of dwellings including a row of semi-detached
public sector houses built along Fivey Road in the 1950s, but has expanded in the
past decade with the construction of a new development of private dwellings
at Wallace Crescent which at July 2004, was not yet complete. This has led to a
marginal increase in the population of the hamlet from about 60 in 1991, to an
estimated 75 by 2001. A recently completed replacement primary school is
located a short distance east of the hamlet, with a church and church hall to the west. Bushvale is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the
Plan.
