Banbridge / Newry and Mourne Area Plan 2015
District Proposals: Banbridge Housing (Page 1 of 3)

In line with its role as a main hub and its District Town status, it is considered appropriate and in accordance with the Regional Development Strategy (RDS), that Banbridge should accommodate a substantial portion of the Banbridge District housing allocation.

The Plan makes provision for 2535 dwellings in Banbridge over the Plan period. This includes dwellings built since 31 December 1998, the yield arising from existing commitments and the estimated yield delivered by the housing zonings and windfall. Further details of the housing allocation are contained in the Population and Housing Technical Supplement. A total of approximately 69 hectares of land is zoned for housing in Banbridge under Allocation HSG 1 in Volume 1 of the Plan. Housing lands are identified on Map No. 2/02a - Banbridge.

Sites have been selected to allow for the efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments. Other factors influencing site selection include accessibility to the town centre and to public transport and the aim to minimise detrimental impact upon the environment.

Some of the zoned housing sites in Banbridge are subject to infrastructural constraints. Prospective developers are recommended to consult with Department for Regional Development Roads Service at an early stage. Further advice is contained in the Transportation section in Volume 1 of the Plan.

The Housing Needs Assessment has identified a social housing need of 70 dwellings for Banbridge. The following sites have been identified in whole or in part to meet this social housing need in Banbridge.

Details of the social housing allocation and associated methodology are contained in the Population and Housing Technical Supplement.

The following sites, including committed sites, are zoned for housing. Policy for the control of development on zoned sites is contained in Policy SMT 2 in Volume 1 of the Plan.

Zoned land will be developed in accordance with all prevailing regional planning policy and with any relevant Plan Policies and Proposals including, where specified, key site requirements.

The plan does not stipulate key site requirements for committed sites because future development will be subject to the conditions attached to the planning permission. However, in the event that such permission may lapse, Planning Service may alter existing conditions or attach new conditions to any subsequent approval to take account of prevailing regional planning policy and the Plan proposals.
