The settlement development limit has been drawn 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 a reasonable expectation that approval will be granted.
The settlement development limit is designated to provide development opportunities in line with the scale, character and role of this compact riverside settlement, whilst preventing ribboning and encroachment into the surrounding countryside. To this end, it excludes land on Tullylish Road immediately south of Locard Park, and restricts development along Banbridge Road, to preserve the character of the settlement. The well treed surroundings ensure that the old church tower, church and pottery works remain the main focus of the settlement.
