The settlement development limit has been designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing and sites that have not yet been approved but are at a stage in the planning application process where there is reasonable expectation that approval will be granted.
The settlement development limit has been drawn to account for the role of the settlement, accommodating sites for new development while protecting the extremely attractive natural surroundings. It will preserve the views and setting of the old mill complex and chimney and accommodate the new school on Ballynaskeagh Road.
