Banbridge / Newry and Mourne Area Plan 2015
District Proposals: Dromore Housing (Page 1 of 2)

The Plan makes provision for 1249 dwellings in Dromore over the Plan period. This will include 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 are contained in the Population and Housing Technical Supplement. A total of approximately 27 hectares of land is zoned for housing under Allocation HSG 1 in Volume 1 of the Plan. Housing zonings are identified on Map No. 2/03a - Dromore.

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.

The Housing Needs Assessment has identified a social housing need of 20 dwellings for Dromore. The following sites have been identified in whole or in part to meet this social housing need in Dromore.

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.
