Northern Area Plan 2016
Limavady Borough: Artikelly

Artikelly is located 1 kilometre north east of Limavady within the Green Belt, and adjoining the major industrial area at Aghanloo. Its proximity to the recently completed Limavady by-pass has improved accessibility not only to Limavady town, but also to the regional city of Londonderry and the main hub of Coleraine. Artikelly is the largest hamlet in Limavady Borough with a 2001 population of 360, but it has only a limited range of retail and recreational facilities. The settlement consists of a number of housing clusters along Dowland Road with most of the development on its northern side. It is dominated by the Lilac Avenue public authority housing estate. Artikelly is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.

The development limit will contribute to the creation of a more compact settlement form, and ensure that any new development is convenient to all local facilities. Any development will be required to be in character, in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.

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.
