| Designation BH 01 Settlement Development Limit |
|---|
| A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 3/02b – Newry City South, Ballyholland. |
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. This limit also takes account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting and retaining and protecting its compact form. Provision is made within the limit for further development while preventing ribbon development and encroachment into the surrounding countryside. This is particularly important on the Templehill and Ballyholland Roads to prevent coalescence with Newry.
