Any development, other than appropriate modest scale modifications of existing buildings within this LLPA, will not be acceptable.
There may also be potential for the sympathetic conversion of existing historic buildings with architectural character to appropriate uses within the LLPA.
There are also a number of listed buildings within the LLPA which merit sensitive retention/restoration.
The Coach Road route and its related trees and hedges shall be fully retained, without any encroachment by development.
Designation PTL 02 Portstewart Point LLPA
A Local Landscape Policy Area is designated as identified on Map No. 3/05a – Portstewart.
Those features or combination of features that contribute to the environmental quality, integrity or character of this area are listed below.
  1. This prominent headland boldly defines the northern end of Portstewart Bay.
  2. A modest car park, access road, and small Coastguard look-out building, do not significantly detract from its natural grandeur.
No further development is appropriate.
