Settlement Designation

Dernaflaw (Derrynaflaw) is located approximately 2 kilometres west of Dungiven on the A6 Foreglen Road, a key transport corridor linking Londonderry to Belfast. The Foreglen Road bisects the settlement creating two separate housing clusters.
This hamlet provides basic community facilities for the local population. Recent private sector housing development complements the longerestablished public authority housing. The population in 2001 was 168. Dernaflaw is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
Designation DW 01: Settlement Development Limit
A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 4/12 – Dernaflaw.
The development limit will maintain the existing form of the settlement, whilst allowing for some limited opportunity for development which is convenient to local facilities. 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.
