Camlough is located 5 kilometres west of Newry on the main Newry to Crossmaglen/ Newtownhamilton Road. The Newry Greenbelt surrounds the village.
Land to the south east of the settlement rises steeply to Camlough Mountain within the Ring of Gullion Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The Camlough River flows from north to south through the settlement into Camlough Lake to the southwest. The landscape surrounding the village is fairly open and undulating with some poorly drained land to the south of the main road.
The original village was established where the Quarter Road, Keggal Road and Chapel Road meet the Main Street. The major development growth has occurred to the north and northwest along Quarter Road and Chapel Road. More limited growth has occurred along the Newry and Newtown Road.
Camlough is a local service centre with an important livestock market serving much of South Armagh. It also has a good range of other services that includes supermarkets, public houses, cafe, a funeral parlour and a butcher, as well as the South Armagh Farming Enterprises. There is also a good range of community facilities such as a primary school, a church, a health centre and dental surgery.
| Designation CL 01 Settlement Development Limit |
|---|
| A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 3/11 – Camlough. |
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. Sufficient land has been identified to provide for the social housing need identified in the NIHE Housing Needs Assessment. The settlement development limit also takes account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting.
The settlement limit has been drawn to protect areas of locally significant land that include, for example, views and settings of a prominent building. An attempt has been made to rationalise and consolidate existing development while aiming to avoid and reduce any ribbon development along the approach roads to the village. The settlement development limit is constrained by the Ring of Gullion AONB, which is located immediately south of Camlough village.
