The settlement development limit is designated 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 planning approval will be granted. The settlement development limit also takes account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting.
This limit seeks to protect the linear form of this settlement by preventing ribbon development along the A27, and encroachment into the surrounding countryside. The limit allows for the protection of the character of the historic settlement form and the setting adjacent to the Newry Canal and towpath.
