Northern Area Plan 2016
Coleraine Borough: Portstewart Settlement Designation
Portstewart is designated an Other Main Town in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan
|
Designation PT 01 Settlement Limit
|
| A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 3/05a – Portstewart. |
A development limit is defined for Portstewart sufficient to meet the town’s development needs and opportunities in the period up to the year 2016 (see Policy S 1 in Part 2). In the context of the RDS and the scale of development since 1998 it is considered there is no need for retaining any green-field land within the development limit. In the context of proximity to a wide range of industrial/employment locations in Coleraine with convenient access from Portstewart, and having regard to the town’s character, it is considered it is unnecessary to provide for these land uses, consistent with earlier Plans.
