Banbridge / Newry and Mourne Area Plan 2015
Strategic Plan Framework: Disused Transport Routes

PPS 3 - Access, Movement and Parking contains regional planning policy in relation to the protection of disused transport routes, which is to prevent development that would prejudice their future reuse for transport or recreational purposes. The Plan Area contains a number of disused rail and tramway track beds and the disused Newry Canal. Those sections of route with potential for future use are identified in Volumes 2 and 3 of the Plan. The potential of these for the provision of road lines, public transport routes, cycle or walking routes will be assessed during the Plan period.
