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.
The designation of a settlement development limit around Mullaghglass retains the linear form of this settlement while protecting areas of locally significant land such as the railway line and bridge and the protected route all of which effectively contain the settlement. It prevents ribboning along the Armagh Road, as well as avoiding coalescence with Newry.
