In the period from December 1998 to July 2004, a total of 468 dwellings were completed in the town. On a further six committed sites, 50 dwellings were under construction, and 133 dwellings had planning permission but work had not commenced. Therefore to meet the allocation of 1,510 dwellings, the Plan needs to provide sufficient sites to accommodate the balance of 859 dwellings.
Towards providing for this requirement a thorough evaluation of urban capacity has resulted in the identification of 12 additional sites with a total area of 14.9 hectares within Limavady’s urban footprint, which are physically suitable for housing development. The estimated capacity of these sites is 331 dwellings. It is assumed, within the Plan period 60% of this potential will be completed, therefore the projected yield from the identified urban capacity sites is 199 dwellings.
In the context of development experience in the past 5 years, the Plan projects a further 33 dwellings may be expected to be developed on windfall sites over the remainder of the Plan period, bringing the total estimated yield within the urban footprint to 232 dwellings.
The Plan retains two undeveloped zonings carried over from the previous Area Plan, with a total area of 9.1 hectares and an estimated total capacity of 182 dwellings. The Plan also brings forward two major new zonings, which will be held for development into the second half of the Plan period as Phase 2 lands, and will not be released for development, before the year 2010. These housing zonings at Gorteen and off Edenmore Road include 27.2 hectares with a potential yield of 463 dwellings. Their release will be dependent on regular monitoring of the Plan, demonstrating that the need for these lands remains and there is a satisfactory balance of development, meeting the RDS objective of at least 60% of housing being completed within the urban footprint.
