Banbridge / Newry and Mourne Area Plan 2015
Strategic Plan Framework: Protected Housing Areas in City and Town Centres

Policy HSG 3 Protected Housing Areas in City and Town Centres
Within designated Protected Housing Areas in City and Town Centres, planning permission will not be granted for any development that results in a change of use from housing.
The Department will resist the spread of commercial uses into areas which have a useful longer term residential life. They provide a valuable housing stock and are homes for established communities which contribute to the variety and vitality of life in the city / town centre.
Protected Housing Areas are designated in Dromore, Rathfriland and Newry City as identified in Volumes 2 and 3 of the Plan.
