Northern Area Plan 2016
Coleraine Borough: Portstewart Apartment Development
|
Designation PTA 01 Area of Opportunity for Apartments
|
| Apartment proposals will only be approved within the area designated as potentially suitable for apartments as indicated on Map No. 3/05a – Portstewart. |
Portstewart has been a popular location for new apartment developments attractive to the second home market. There has been considerable community concern at the visual and social impact of this development. The Plan designates an area within the Victorian core of Portstewart where there will be opportunities for apartment development. Outside this area, however, the Department will protect the established character of existing residential areas and apartment proposals will not be acceptable. Elsewhere apartment proposals will only be acceptable where they form a modest part of larger schemes on green field sites.
