Settlement Designation

Craigavole is located approximately 6 kilometres south of Garvagh, a short distance east of the A29 route. Dwellings around the hamlet are loosely distributed over a wider area, but with development concentrated along Grove Road. Craigavole is a small hamlet with limited facilities, although it does contain a sizeable employment site. St Mary’s Church, a listed building, forms a prominent landmark in the local landscape. Craigavole is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
Designation CV 01 Settlement Development Limit
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 3/16 – Craigavole.
A development limit has been defined around the core of Craigavole which provides limited scope for development, primarily in the form of infill sites. Any development will be required to be in character, in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.

Open Space

The Plan identifies major areas of existing open space for information purposes. Policies relating to open space are contained within PPS 8: Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation. All existing open space, whether identified in development plans or not, is protected under Policy OS1 of PPS8.
