Settlement Designation

Glenullin, located approximately 4 kilometres south west of Garvagh, has experienced considerable growth in recent years. It has a reasonably wide range of community facilities within it, including a church, a primary school and a Gaelic pitch and clubhouse. There is however no local shop in Glenullin, nor is it served by public transport. A network of public footpaths has been established providing access to the adjoining Sperrins AONB countryside, and acknowledging the presence of archaeology in the locality. Glenullin is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
Designation GU 01 Settlement Development Limit
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 3/19 – Glenullin.
The development limit allows for further modest expansion, with a number of infill sites and opportunities for the development of underused land. Any development will be required to be in character, in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.

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.
