Settlement Designation

Ardgarvan is located within the Green Belt, 2 kilometres south of Limavady, with a 2001 population of 111. It has developed on the northern side of Ballyavelin Road and is dominated by public housing development. A limited range of retail and recreational facilities is available to the local community. Ardgarvan is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
Designation AN 01: Settlement Development Limit
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 4/10 – Ardgarvan.
Due to Ardgarvan’s proximity to Limavady town, and its location within the Green Belt, there is little scope for expansion although limited potential may exist within the development limit. Any development will be required to be in character, in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.

Open Space

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 PPS 8.
