Dromara is located 10 kilometres to the south east of Dromore. Most of the village is in Lisburn City Council area and hence covered by the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015. However, a small part of the village is within Banbridge Council Area.
It enjoys an upland setting being located on the northern slopes of Slieve Croob. The River Lagan flows through the centre of the village and its valley dominates the landscape to the west of the settlement.
Designation DA 01 Settlement Development Limit
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 2/10 - Dromara.
The settlement development limit is designated to take account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting. The limit excludes important landscapes of the Lagan Valley to the south west of the settlement, agricultural land and land not committed for development. The Settlement Development Limit takes account of the need to prevent ribbon development along the Rathfriland Road.
