FINVOY
SETTLEMENT DESIGNATION
Finvoy is located 7 kilometres south of Ballymoney on the B62 Finvoy Road between Ballymoney and Rasharkin. It has its origins in
a loose scattering of houses and other buildings along the old Finvoy Road
where, over time, modern infill housing development created a more consolidated
grouping. Realignment of the road has created two distinct clusters of
development. The northern cluster includes Finvoy Parish Church, Knockan’s Lodge private
nursing home, and a number of modern private dwellings. The southern
grouping includes two small housing developments at Greystone Road and Hebron
Heights.
Finvoy has limited local services and community facilities. As a result of
the small-scale development in the hamlet over recent
years, the population has increased from an estimated 100 in 1991 to 150 by 2001. Finvoy is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the
Plan.
Designation FV 01
Settlement Development Limit |
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No.
2/16 – Finvoy.
|
The development limit defines a boundary around the existing hamlet,
restricting any further linear expansion but providing a
number of infill opportunities. Any development will be required to be in character,
in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.
OPEN SPACE
The Plan identifies major areas of existing open space for information
purposes. Policies relating to open space are contained
within PPS 8: Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation. All existing open space,
whether identified in development plans or not, is protected under
Policy OS1 of PPS 8.
LOCAL LANDSCAPE POLICY AREA (LLPA)
Any proposals for development within this area will be considered within
the terms of Policy ENV2 in Volume 1 of the Plan. Where
additional degree of control is considered necessary this is specified below.
