Settlement Designation
Loughguile is situated 13 kilometres to the east of Ballymoney. It is the only settlement serving a large rural hinterland on the eastern side of the Borough but until recently had only a limited range of services.
Prior to construction of the public housing estate at Scally Park in the 1960s, Loughguile was a small cluster of development centred around the church. A number of individual dwellings were built subsequently, but it was not until 2001 that any significant private housing development took place. Loughguile had a population of 321 in 2001.
The Millennium Centre on Lough Road, a community regeneration project part-funded by the International Fund for Ireland and opened in 2001, provides high quality and up-to-date childcare, training, industrial and sports facilities. This has greatly improved the range and quality of community facilities as well as providing valuable training and employment opportunities in this peripheral rural area.
Loughguile is designated a Small Village in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
