Designation SY 01: Settlement Development Limit
|
| A settlement development limit is designated as identified on Map No. 4/16 – Shanvey. |
It is considered because of Shanvey’s limited facilities, and its location within the North Derry AONB and Countryside Policy Area, there is little scope for further expansion. Some opportunities for development exist within the development limit, which should respect the hamlet’s sensitive setting. Any development will be required to be in character, in terms of density, height and design, with the existing built form.
