An ATC is designated within Scarva as identified on Map No. 2/09 - Scarva. Key features of the area which will be taken into account when assessing development proposals are as follows: - The village core has largely retained its late 18th / early 19th century form with buildings, mainly road fronted;
- The listed curving terrace of houses in Main Street which have a 'Georgian vernacular' are small in scale and face what was originally a small dock on the Newry Canal. Towards the end of the listed terrace is the old Post Office building, Avalon house and the old National School building which is now the Parish Hall. The gradual curve of the street ends in the Presbyterian Church and graveyard to the south;
- The original canal dock opposite the main terrace has been filled in to create a sunken garden adjacent to the modern information centre;
- The commanding listed St. Matthew's (CoI) Church sits on a prominent site behind the former National School facing the Canal Bridge and overlooking Main Street. The stone church is enclosed by a rubble stone wall and creates a secondary axis at right angles to the alignment of the main street.
