PreamblePart 4 Volume 3

PreambleThe District Proposals for Lisburn form an integral part of the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015 which is a development plan being prepared under the provisions of Part 3 of the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 by the Department of the Environment (DOE). The Plan covers the City Council Areas of Belfast and Lisburn and the Borough Council Areas of Carrickfergus, Castlereagh, Newtownabbey and North Down.

The Department is now publishing the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015 consisting of a Written Statement and accompanying maps. The Written Statement is divided into four parts:

• Part 1 sets out the background to the preparation of the Plan;

• Part 2 sets out the Plan’s Guiding Principles and the Plan Strategy proposed to meet these;

• Part 3 sets out the Plan framework comprising allocations, designations, policies and proposals relating to the Plan Area as a whole, intended to complement, and with reference to, the Regional Policy Context; and

• Part 4 translates the broad allocations, designations, policies and proposals in Part 3 into site specific designations, policies, proposals and zonings for the individual Council Areas included within the Plan Area.

The Plan Strategy, allocations, designations, policies, proposals and zonings in Parts 3 and 4 of the Plan comprise, and are hereafter also referred to collectively as the Plan Proposals.

The Plan is published in seven Volumes:

• Volume 1 consists of Parts 1, 2 and 3 which deal with the Plan Area as a whole;

• Volumes 2 to 7 collectively form Part 4, the District Proposals, which set out the site-specific Plan Proposals for individual Council areas as follows:

- Volume 2 - Belfast District Proposals

- Volume 3 - Lisburn District Proposals

- Volume 4 - Carrickfergus District Proposals

- Volume 5 - Castlereagh District Proposals

- Volume 6 - Newtownabbey District Proposals

- Volume 7 - North Down District Proposals

The District Proposals for Lisburn consist of designations, policies, proposals and zonings specific to the administrative area of Lisburn City Council. They relate in general to specific locations identified by defined boundaries on relevant maps. The designations, policies, proposals and zonings flow from the Plan Strategy and Plan Proposals for individual land uses contained in Parts 2 and 3 of Volume 1 of the Plan. As such they reflect the Spatial Framework Guidance and Regional Guidance contained in the Regional Development Strategy (RDS) and regional planning policies contained in Planning Policy Statements (PPSs), and A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland.

To understand the full range of the Plan Proposals that apply to Lisburn City Council area, it is therefore necessary to read the District Proposals in this Volume in conjunction with the Plan Strategy and the Plan Proposals contained in Volume 1 of the Plan which relate to the entire Plan Area.

The District Proposals are presented in this Volume as follows:

• Designations, policies, proposals and zonings for individual locations considered in terms of:

BackgroundSituated to the south west of the BMA, Lisburn City Council area has the largest land area of the six Districts in the Metropolitan Area, with the second largest population next to Belfast. The Council was awarded City status in May 2002, and the City of Lisburn provides an important focus for the District. This portion of the District incorporates part of the Contiguous Development Zone (CDZ)1 hereafter known as Metropolitan Lisburn. Lisburn abuts the administrative districts of Belfast and Castlereagh in the BMA, and the surrounding Districts of Antrim, Banbridge, Craigavon and Down.

Hillsborough and Moira are the two main towns situated in the rural area of Lisburn District, and there are also a significant number of villages and small settlements distributed throughout the countryside.

In 2001 the population of the City and Borough was 108,694. This had increased by 11,471(10.5%) to 120,165 in 2011.

Lisburn City Council area contains a diversity of landscapes, with the steep slopes of the Antrim Plateau dominating the landscape setting to the north east of the District, and descending gradually towards the shores of Lough Neagh to the west and to the River Lagan valley to the south. To the east of Lisburn the River Lagan flows within a relatively narrow valley corridor which forms part of the Lagan Valley Regional Park and Lagan Valley Area of

Outstanding Natural Beauty. Towards the south east of the District the steep escarpment slopes of the Castlereagh Hills surround Belfast.

There are a number of important areas of nature conservation within Lisburn City Council area. Part of the Lough Neagh shoreline lies to the north west and this is recognised internationally as a Ramsar Site, a Special Protection Area (SPA) and an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI). There are several other ASSIs distributed throughout the District, a National Nature Reserve at Belshaw’s Quarry in the Belfast Hills, and Local Nature Reserves at Edenderry, Portmore Lough and Slievenacloy. There are also four Areas of High Scenic Value that affect Lisburn, comprising Belfast Basalt Escarpment, Castlereagh Slopes, Magheraknock Loughs to the south east of Lisburn and Portmore Lough to the east of Lough Neagh.

Despite the easy commuting distance to Belfast, Lisburn has a strong and independent identity within the BMA, and a green wedge between Lisburn and Dunmurry at Mosside ensures that Lisburn retains its individual character and that coalescence with Belfast is prevented.

Lisburn has a strong growth dynamic, enhanced by its locational advantages, and the rapid growth experienced in the District, particularly in the past 35 years has meant that it is subject to continuous pressure for housing and industrial development.

Regional Policy ContextThe District Proposals are developed within the context of the Plan Strategy and the Plan Proposals contained in Volume 1 of the Plan. They therefore reflect the planning policy content of the RDS and PPSs.

The urban area of Lisburn benefits from its location at the meeting point of the Belfast/Dublin economic corridor and the East/West transport corridor. The potential exists to grow the retail offer and create high quality office offer through the creation of

1See Appendix 1 – The definition of Contiguous Development Zone is included in the Glossary of Terms.

16

Part 4 Volume 3

employment in business services. Potential also exists to generate a new driver for the night-time economy and to provide a range of flexible commercial accommodation and business parks at development locations such as Blaris and Maze/Long Kesh.

Summary of District Proposals for LisburnThe settlement hierarchy in Lisburn District consists of Lisburn City, the small towns of Moira and Hillsborough, 12 villages and 31 small settlements. The settlements in Lisburn District are identified in Designation SETT 1 in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan. The District Proposals designate Settlement Development Limits, zone land and designate Land Use Policy Areas in these settlements in accordance with the BMA Settlement Strategy.

Lisburn City Council area also has a metropolitan component, situated to the north east of the District, containing part of the continuous built-up area of Belfast and including Dunmurry, Derriaghy, Lagmore, Twinbrook and Poleglass. The District Proposals designate a Metropolitan Development Limit and zone land in Metropolitan Lisburn in accordance with the BMA Settlement Strategy in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

The District Proposals recognise the strong growth dynamic and high development potential of Lisburn City Council area, reflecting its strategic location at the meeting of Key Transport Corridors on the Regional Strategic Transportation Network.

The distribution of housing growth potential in the District is in accordance with the approach set out in the BMA Housing Strategy, and accompanying Plan Proposals in the Housing Section in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan. Approximately 516 hectares of land are zoned and designated for housing, including land for the provision of social housing. Key Site Requirements are stipulated, as appropriate, with which particular site development proposals must comply.

The District Proposals facilitate expansion of economic growth in accordance with the BMA Employment Strategy in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan, and in line with Lisburn’s continued development as a strong employment base. West Lisburn/Blaris is identified as a Major Employment Location, which forms part of approximately 152 hectares of land zoned for employment in Lisburn City Council area. This figure includes a mixed-use site at Barbour Threads, Mill Street, Lisburn, a mixed use site in the rural area within Dromara and land zoned for employment use in Glenavy.

The transportation proposals focus on Lisburn’s favourable position on the strategic transportation network, and on maintaining linkages with the rest of the BMA by improving the rail service between Lisburn and Belfast. The rail halt/station at Knockmore will be relocated to West Lisburn in order to provide access to the Major Employment Location at West Lisburn/Blaris, and the construction of the M1 – Knockmore Link road will provide access to West Lisburn. An Area of Parking Restraint, together with traffic management measures, will assist in maintaining and enhancing the vitality of the city centre by making better use of parking spaces.

In accordance with the BMA Retail and Office Strategies in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan, Lisburn City Centre is promoted as the main foci for retailing and offices in the District. The Plan identifies boundaries for Lisburn City Centre, a Primary Retail Core, and Primary Retail Frontage. In addition, 14 Protected City Centre Housing Areas are also identified. Further limited expansion is proposed, outside the city centre, at the Regional Shopping Centre – Sprucefield; a District Centre is designated at Dairy Farm, and a Local Centre is designated at Dunmurry.

The District Proposals identify Conservation Areas in Lisburn, Moira and Hillsborough, and designate six Areas of Townscape Character, seven Areas of Village Character, and 13 Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes. Urban design criteria have also been included for Lisburn City Centre to protect areas of architectural, townscape and landscape importance

17

Part 4 Volume 3

in accordance with the BMA Urban Environment Strategy in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

The District Proposals recognise Lisburn’s attractive setting, and seek to protect the varied landscapes contained within its boundaries, including the Lagan Valley Regional Park. In addition to international designations such as Ramsar sites, the Plan designates 99 Sites of Local Nature Conservation Importance and 104 Local Landscape Policy Areas in Lisburn City Council area in line with the BMA Environment Strategy in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

Four Areas of High Scenic Value are designated in Lisburn District in the Countryside and Coast Section in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan. A Rural Landscape Wedge is designated at Mosside in order to maintain a separation between Lisburn and Belfast and protect Lisburn City’s strong and independent identity.

The District Proposals identify, define and safeguard, as appropriate, specific areas where the retention or provision of additional recreational, tourism and other community facilities are required to serve the needs of the District.

LISBURN CITYThe City of Lisburn has an attractive setting, with the River Lagan flowing through its centre, and the Lagan Valley providing an area of special landscape value which is protected by its designation as a Regional Park.

For hundreds of years, Lisburn’s strategic location on the River Lagan has had a significant influence on the growth of the settlement. The development of the linen industry in the 18th century and the growth of Belfast as a major port during the industrial revolution increased the importance of the Lagan Valley as a location for industry. The Lagan Canal was constructed in the 18th century connecting Lisburn with Lough Neagh, and the opening of the Lagan Navigational Canal between Lisburn and Belfast in 1763, and the Ulster Railway running from Belfast in 1839, have added to Lisburn’s locational advantages.

The town grew rapidly during the latter half of the 19th century when much of the present urban fabric was built. This growth continued in the 20th century, with good accessibility to the M1 motorway, and a favourable location in relation to the rail network enhancing its role as a sub-regional centre. The City is also situated on the Belfast/Dublin development corridor, providing linkages to the major regional port and airport gateways, and Lisburn is an important retail, service and cultural centre, with a strong employment base.

A vibrant City Centre, together with a regional shopping centre at Sprucefield, combine to give Lisburn an important role as the commercial centre for the District and a wider catchment in the Belfast area, and it also has a strong manufacturing base. The Lagan Valley LeisurePlex together with the adjacent cinema at the Lisburn OmniPlex, add significantly to the range and quality of Lisburn’s indoor leisure and recreational provision.

The Lisburn Historic Quarter, situated within a Conservation Area in the centre of the City, has an attractive 18th century streetscape and provides a focus for the physical and economic regeneration of the area. The Lisburn Historic Quarter Partnership, created in 2000, has brought a number of key stakeholders together in order to rejuvenate the older part of the City.

The City plays a pivotal role within the Metropolitan Area due to its strategic location, and good road and rail links - the M1 motorway, connecting Belfast to the west of Northern Ireland and the A1 route connecting Belfast to Dublin pass through the District. The Northern Ireland rail network connecting Belfast to Dublin also crosses the City Council Area. These factors combine to provide Lisburn with the potential for significant further growth.

Designation LC 01

Settlement Development Limit Lisburn City

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.

The RDS identifies Lisburn City as a settlement in the BMA with high growth potential, and the Settlement Development Limit is designated to take this factor into account. The limit is drawn to respect the City’s strong and independent identity within the Belfast Metropolitan Area, and to protect its natural setting.

Opportunities for the outward expansion of Lisburn City are constrained in several directions by topographic and environmental factors. Lisburn has a strong landscape setting and is situated on the River Lagan, with the Lagan Valley Regional Park limiting scope for development. The Belfast Hills to the north and the Castlereagh Slopes to the south also restrict development.

The Settlement Development Limit is drawn to maximise the use of existing land within the previous limit of development, taking into account any land with extant planning permission.

HousingThe Plan zones approximately 250 hectares of land for housing in Lisburn City within the Plan period including 9 hectares for social housing identified by the Housing Needs Assessment carried out by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE).

Sites are selected to allow for the efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments. Other factors influencing site selection include access to public transport, and the need to minimise any detrimental impact on the environment.

Land zoned for housing will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy

and with the Plan Proposals, including Key Site Requirements where stipulated. These may include access/infrastructure requirements, protection or enhancement of nature conservation interests, landscaping, provision for walking and/or cycling, local neighbourhood facilities and other site-specific requirements.

EmploymentThe RDS identifies Lisburn as a strategic location for employment growth, and recognises the need to promote its continued development as a strong employment base. As a result, the Plan proposes to strengthen the City’s role as an important employment centre by zoning an additional 142 hectares of land for employment uses within the settlement limit of Lisburn City (part of this zoning consists of a mixed-use site).

Zoned employment lands are in a variety of locations to allow for a range of employment types and choice. All existing employment zonings are identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City. Applications for planning permission within these sites will be determined in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and the Key Site Requirements in the Plan where stipulated.

Acceptable Uses on employment zonings (except where otherwise specified in individual zonings (based on the Planning (Use Classes) Order (Northern Ireland) 2004):

Class B1: Business (b) as a call centre Class B1: Business (c) for research and development Class B2: Light Industrial Class B3: General Industrial Class B4: Storage or Distribution

Area of Development Potential

Part 4 Volume 3

TransportationLisburn City is situated on the main Belfast–Dublin transportation corridor and is favourably located within the BMA in terms of its proximity to roads and railways. Strategic highway access to Lisburn is provided, principally, by the M1 motorway, the A1, the A3 and the A49.

Lisburn’s road network is characterised by an inner ring road which operates one-way and forms the perimeter of the mainly pedestrianised city centre and a high capacity southern orbital road made up of Thiepval Road, Governor’s Road, Laganbank Road and Queen’s Road. These two routes are connected by the radial roads Chapel Hill, Hillsborough Road, Linenhall Road, Bridge Street and Castle Street which are within the City Centre. The one-way system currently carries a high proportion of through traffic.

Paid car parking is in good supply in the City Centre, most of which is surface parking and much of which is accessed off the one-way system. Parking is, however, one of the main sources of city centre traffic congestion.

Road Proposals

Proposal LC 17

Road Schemes Lisburn City

The following Road Schemes are identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City and Map No. 1 – Lisburn Countryside:

LC 17/01 M1 between Blacks Road and Sprucefield

Widening of the M1 between Blacks Road and Sprucefield to dual 3 lane motorway and a new link between the M1 and A1 at Sprucefield (Strategic)

LC 17/02 Knockmore – M1 Link (Non-Strategic)

LC 17/03 North Lisburn Feeder Road (Non-Strategic)

The M1 motorway forms a key part of the Regional Strategic Transport Network, running southwest of Belfast to Lisburn and onwards to the west. It is anticipated that toward the end of the Plan period, peak traffic levels on the section of the M1 between Blacks Road and Lisburn will approach or exceed available road capacity. Proposal LC 17/01 allows for the protection and detailed planning for the widening of the M1 between Blacks Road and Sprucefield from a dual 2 lane motorway to a dual 3 lane motorway, and improving the connection between the M1 and A1. It is expected that implementation of this scheme will be outside the 2015 Plan period; however, development pressures in the Sprucefield area or at the Maze may require this scheme to be implemented earlier. Part of the road proposal falls within Belfast District.

The proposed M1 widening will take place within the existing road boundary therefore there is no need for a Road Protection Corridor. A map showing the Road Protection Corridor required to facilitate the implementation of the proposed A1 link is available on the Department’s Planning NI website www.planningni.gov.uk or from the local Area Planning Office.

The Knockmore Link (LC 17/02) will provide access to the Major Employment Location at West Lisburn as identified in accordance with the RDS. The North Lisburn Feeder Road (LC 17/03) will facilitate new housing developments to the north east of Lisburn and will provide an alternative orbital route around Lisburn.

Developers will be responsible for funding both LC 17/02 and LC 17/03 either in full or in a substantial part. DRD’s priority for funding will be concentrated on the construction of major capital work schemes on the Strategic Transport Network. Any

30

Part 4 Volume 3

contribution towards developer-led schemes will be subject to detailed economic appraisal, the availability of funding and inclusion within the major works programme.

Prevailing regional planning policy for the protection of the above strategic and non-strategic road schemes is contained in PPS 3: Access, Movement and Parking.

Proposal LC 18

Relocation of Rail Halt/Station Lisburn City

A scheme to relocate Knockmore Station to West Lisburn is identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.

The relocation of the rail halt/station from Knockmore to West Lisburn will facilitate the employment zonings at West Lisburn / Blaris. The BMTP proposes that the existing Lisburn – Belfast services are extended to start and end from the West Lisburn station and that the Portadown service also stops there. A new stop at West Lisburn on the Belfast – Dublin Enterprise is also proposed.

Proposal LC 19

Park and Ride Site Lisburn City

A Park and Ride Site is identified at West Lisburn on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.

In addition to the proposed Knockmore Link and North Lisburn Feeder Road, provision of a Park and Ride site adjacent to the proposed West Lisburn rail halt/station will encourage travel by train.

Prevailing regional planning policy for the protection of transportation schemes is contained in PPS 3: Access, Movement and Parking.

Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan BMTP also proposes a number of transportation initiatives, which will further enhance Lisburn’s accessibility and support its role as a strategic location within the region i.e.:

• the improvement of the rail services by up to 50% between Lisburn and Belfast, served by trains to/from Belfast and by the Belfast-Dublin Enterprise service;

• development of a Quality Bus Corridor between Lisburn and Belfast City Centres;

• the introduction of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) solutions including Variable Message Signs (VMS) in conjunction with parking provision; and

• the widening of the M1 and junction improvements on Westlink.

Further significant improvements to the M1 between Blacks Road and Sprucefield, and the connection between the M1 and A1 are proposed (see Proposal LC 17/01). It is expected that the implementation of these measures will be outside the Plan period. However, development pressures in the Sprucefield area or at the Maze area may require these schemes to be implemented earlier, with developers responsible for their funding either in full or in a very substantial part.

In order to encourage greater use of public transport and more walking and cycling, thereby reducing car dependency, a range of measures are proposed which include:

• the development of an integrated network of Quality Walking Routes and cycle routes including the provision of improved links to bus and rail stations;

• improvements to local bus services and inter urban bus services with improved frequencies on core routes supported by the introduction of bus priority measures at key junctions and a city centre one way system; and

31

Part 4 Volume 3

• a contra-flow bus lane that enables buses to access the bus station without having to pass round the full one way system.

The BMTP also identifies the need to retain the option of re-instating the Antrim-Lisburn rail line as part of a potential Belfast/Lisburn/Antrim/Belfast passenger circle line which could also serve Belfast International Airport. This is a longer-term possibility if a robust financial, economic and transportation case can be made. During the Plan period public transport access to the International Airport will be provided by bus and taxi.

Historic Park, Garden and Demesne Wallace Park

A Historic Park, Garden, and Demesne of Special Historic Interest is designated at Wallace Park as identified on Map No. 2/001 - Lisburn City.

Wallace Park, originally known as ‘The People’s Park’, is a much appreciated long standing public park which was developed from part of a private nineteenth century demesne belonging to a significant benefactor of the town, Sir Richard Wallace in 1884. It maintains many of its mature trees and the original basic structure of the park combined with modernity. Wallace also furnished the park with a bandstand, entrance gates and lodges. The lodges were both renovated and restored in 2004/2005 by Hearth. The bandstand (not the original) was largely rebuilt in 2011. On the southern side of the Park the central core is in grass sports fields while the east and west sides of the south side are in parkland with mature trees.

Wallace Park Historic Park, Garden and Demesne makes a valuable contribution to the quality and character of the local landscape in Lisburn City, and further details are included in a register of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of Special Historic Interest in Northern Ireland, published by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. This register summarises the historical significance of each site. It also seeks to encourage the public, as well as owners, to value and support the protection and maintenance of such sites.

Prevailing regional planning policy for the protection of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of Special Historic Interest is set out in PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and Built Heritage. Additional information about Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes is available on the Department’s NIEA website www.doeni.gov.uk/niea.

TourismThe City of Lisburn provides the main focus for tourism in the District, with its linen heritage, and the Irish Linen Museum situated in the central retail core. It has also benefited from a number of new developments and restoration work in recent years which have improved not only the retail vibrancy of the City Centre but also its environmental quality, built heritage and public realm.

The Lagan Valley LeisurePlex offers various recreational opportunities while the Lagan Valley Island and Island Arts Centre provides a number of arts and cultural activities. The Historic Quarter and the restored River Lagan Lock 12 have all greatly contributed to the tourism potential of the City Centre, and the opportunity exists to consolidate and enhance the tourism activities through evolving a strong dynamic between the retail centre, the Island Civic Centre, the Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum and the LeisurePlex facility.

The River Lagan and the Lagan Valley Regional Park (LVRP) run through Lisburn City Centre and both offer major tourism and recreational opportunities. The RDS recognises the significance of the LVRP and seeks to protect it whilst increasing access for residents and tourists, consistent with protecting its integrity and value. With the opportunity for the expansion of water-based tourism throughout the Lagan Valley Regional Park, Lisburn Council has taken a proactive approach encouraging environmental improvements and new development on the riverfront. These developments have improved the visual and environmental quality of the river and made it more accessible for walking, angling and recreation activities along the river and towpath.

The Lisburn City Council area presently attracts a large number of visitors from outside the region due to the quality and variety of retail development available. There is a wide range of choice on offer, not only within Lisburn City Centre, but also at the Regional Shopping Centre at Sprucefield.

Health and EducationPolicy for the control of development on land identified for the provision of the following health and education facilities LC 40 and LC 41 is contained in Policy CF 1 as set out in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

LISBURN CITY CENTRE

Designation LC 42

City Centre Boundary Lisburn

A City Centre boundary is designated for Lisburn as identified on Map 2/001 – Lisburn City, and Map No. 2/003 – Lisburn City Centre.

The Lisburn City Centre boundary is drawn to encompass the usual concentration of existing and planned uses with a City Centre function. These land uses include retailing, professional services, restaurants, banking, estate agents and other office uses. The City Centre area, identified in Lisburn Area Plan 2001, is extended in two areas to the east of the River Lagan. As a result, part of the river is now included within the City Centre area.

The City Centre boundary incorporates Bow Street, Market Square, Castle Street and Bridge Street to the east of the City, together with Governor’s Road, Laganbank Road and Queens Road, along with The Riverside Centre at Young Street and The Island Civic Centre. The railway line marks the northern boundary of Lisburn City Centre, located beyond Antrim Street and Bachelors Walk.

Lisburn City Centre faces a number of design issues including the dominance of roads infrastructure and traffic in the centre, and the resulting severance caused by this. The existence of gap sites and underdeveloped backland areas behind principal streets, varying quality of the public realm, and a lack of residential development in the City Centre and a low level of night-time activity are also issues.

Policy for the control of development in the City Centre is contained in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan and in prevailing regional planning policy.

City Centre RegenerationThe Department for Social Development (DSD) is responsible for regeneration, and proposes to

forward its regeneration objectives for Lisburn City Centre through the initiation of necessary regeneration action at a pace which maximises the opportunity for physical economic and social development, while securing orderly development across the BMA.

DSD is committed to promoting a vital and viable City Centre for Lisburn by helping the city centre to adapt to changing circumstances, while maximising the contribution that it makes to the prosperity of Northern Ireland. As part of this process, DSD will promote administrative arrangements that help to achieve:

- better management and strategic planning for Lisburn City Centre;

- the development of a vision for the future; and

- a partnership approach involving all those in government, local authorities, and the parts of the private sector with an interest in the success of Lisburn City Centre.

To achieve these objectives, DSD will work with District Councils and private sector developers to facilitate sustainable regeneration.

DSD will consider the use of its statutory powers where appropriate to deliver the regeneration of Lisburn City through:

- the formulation of regeneration strategies and policies;

- the preparation of masterplans;

- the preparation of development schemes;

- the preparation of development briefs;

- the appraisal of development proposals.

Development schemes and/or briefs prepared by DSD and its regeneration strategies, policies and proposals will be taken into consideration where relevant at the planning application stage.

Belfast Metropolitan Transport PlanThe Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan (BMTP) proposes a number of transportation initiatives that will further enhance the accessibility of Lisburn City Centre. In order to encourage greater use of public transport and more walking and cycling, thereby

reducing car dependency, a range of measures are proposed which include:

• The development of an integrated network of Quality Walking Routes and cycle routes including the provision of improved links to bus and rail stations;

• Improvements to local bus services and inter urban bus services with improved frequencies on core routes supported by the introduction of bus priority measures at key junctions and in the city centre one way system;

• The redevelopment of the Smithfield Square bus station with improved facilities and a contra-flow bus lane that will enable buses to access the bus station without having to pass round the full one way system; and

• The provision of more parking at Lisburn Railway station in the City Centre.

BMTP also proposes a number of measures aimed at improving the quality of the urban environment in the city centre of Lisburn. The following measures are proposed:

• The retention of the one-way system but with further traffic management measures that aim to reduce the severing effect of traffic on the city centre area, while maintaining accessibility for all modes of transport. A range of measures will be required and will be developed in detail but are expected to include:

- network optimisation measures to deter through traffic from using one way system and thereby seeking to route along the orbital road, including the implementation of an Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system;

- further traffic calming of streets in the city centre area and, as part of the wider BMA traffic calming proposals, the introduction of calming schemes on residential and access roads around the city centre area.

• The introduction, subject to appropriate funding

41

Part 4 Volume 3

arrangements and a detailed business case review, of a Lisburn City Centre-Sprucefield bus shuttle to encourage visitors to Sprucefield to also visit Lisburn City Centre. This will be supported by the implementation of bus priority measures between Sprucefield and Lisburn; and

• The more effective management of city centre car parking to reduce the amount of long stay parking and to maximise the use of short stay spaces, though with no significant expansion of the number of public and private car parking spaces available unless essential to support new development. Parking requirements for new developments will be in accordance with relevant parking standards.

Towns

HILLSBOROUGH AND CULCAVYHillsborough is situated south west of Belfast and south of Lisburn. Culcavy is located to the west of Hillsborough on the opposite side of the Belfast to Dublin Road (A1).

In Hillsborough, the estate buildings and the extensive designated parkland of the Castle Estate contribute to the setting of the town, with St Malachy’s Parish Church providing a strong focus in the town centre. Avenues of mature trees on approach roads provide attractive gateways to the town. Hillsborough is a planned settlement, designed to complement and enjoy the associated parklands and Demesne of the Downshire estate. The quality of its landscape setting is apparent whether viewed from the main approach roads to the north, south and east or as seen from the centre of the town. The town has a unique character and a large part of the town has been designated as a Conservation Area. Hillsborough’s historic gardens, Forest Park and amenity areas add to its special character.

Hillsborough has a long history as a settlement. As a town, it owes its origins to Colonel Arthur Hill who, in the mid-17th century, built a fort on an earlier settlement site (dating back to the first millennium AD). It appears to have been well established by the later 17th century, but its present layout was conceived in the 1730s and has extended periodically from that time onwards. The town itself has developed a very distinctive character over the past 300 years, reflected in its buildings and monuments, many of which are statutorily protected, and it contains a significant number of late Georgian buildings.

Culcavy has a more modest history of development. In the early 19th century a distillery was established here, using the nearby Lagan Navigational Canal to receive raw materials. Through the 19th and 20th

century more industry developed, along with housing. The increase in residential development in Culcavy is more marked in the later twentieth century, and little now survives of its earlier industrial elements.

Designation HH 01

Settlement Development Limit Hillsborough

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 4 – Hillsborough.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the town’s role as a local service and employment centre while protecting its natural setting. The opportunity for outward expansion is constrained by a number of environmental factors including the high quality landscape and the need to protect the setting of the Hillsborough Forest Park and Demesne and Hillsborough Castle and Demesne. The Settlement Development Limit is drawn to take into account the important contribution that these elements make to the setting of the town, and provides for urban containment.

Housing The Plan zones approximately 31 hectares of land for housing in Hillsborough during the Plan period including 0.27 hectares for social housing identified by the Housing Needs Assessment carried out by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE).

Sites have been selected to allow for the efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments and small scale opportunities. Other factors influencing site selection include access to public transport and the need to minimise any detrimental impact on the environment.

Land zoned for housing will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and with the Plan Proposals, including Key Site

59

Part 4 Volume 3

Requirements where relevant. These may include access/infrastructure requirements, public open space provision, protection or enhancement of nature conservation interests, landscaping, provision for walking and/or cycling, local neighbourhood facilities and other site-specific requirements.

Historic Park, Garden and Demesne Hillsborough Castle

A Historic Park, Garden, and Demesne of Special Historic Interest is designated at Hillsborough Castle and is identified on Map No. 4 – Hillsborough and Map No.1 – Lisburn Countryside.

There are references to the building of the demesne wall around the Large Park in 1668. This was the site of a former house and surrounding ornamental grounds, now much altered. It contains a lake, parkland, an artillery fort, mature trees and forest planting. The Small Park, on the west side of the town of Hillsborough, is the site of the present house of circa1797. This area was totally enclosed by walls during the 1840s, after the main road to Moira was re-routed away from the house.

Hillsborough Castle Historic Park, Garden and Demesne makes a valuable contribution to the quality and character of the local landscape, and details are included in a register of Historic Parks and Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest in Northern Ireland, published by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. This register summarises the historical significance of the sites. It also seeks to encourage the public, as well as owners, to value and support the protection and maintenance of such sites.

Prevailing regional planning policy for the protection of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest is set out in PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and Built Heritage.

Part 4 Volume 3

MOIRAMoira is an attractive ridge-top town that takes its special character from its linear plan and location on the southern escarpment of the Lagan Valley. This character is enhanced by the planned landscaping associated with the former Moira Demesne, and a large part of the town centre has been designated as a Conservation Area.

Moira acts as a service centre for a significant rural hinterland, and provides a focal point for community activity. It also has a role as a commuter settlement, and occupies a favourable location in relation to the transportation network.

The earliest records of the present settlement at Moira date back to the 17th century, but the general area is known to have been settled long before this, as seen by its upstanding archaeological monuments. The present town is close to the reputed site of a major battle in 637 AD, and it was laid out from the mid-18th century alongside the 17th century planned landscape around Moira Castle, built circa 1651. The town’s 18th century form has survived along its main street, giving the settlement a very distinctive character, while the planned landscape around the former castle is an important area of open space in the town.

Settlement

Designation MA 01

Settlement Development Limit Moira

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 5 – Moira.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the town’s role as a local service centre while protecting its natural setting. The limit has also been drawn to take account of land with extant per-mission for housing and to round-off the urban form and provide small-scale opportunities for development.

The opportunity for the outward expansion of Moira is constrained by a number of environmental factors, including the need to safeguard local landscapes on the edge of the settlement, which make an important contribution to the visual amenity and setting of the town. The town’s location on a ridge, with the steep eastern slopes of the ridge and valley floor below restrict development in this direction, while the Moira Demesne situated to the north west of the town also provides a limit to the expansion of the town. The Settlement Development Limit also excludes areas of high quality agricultural land.

HousingThe Plan zones approximately 43 hectares of land for housing in Moira within the Plan period.

Sites have been selected to allow for the efficient use of land within the urban footprint, to provide choice in the housing market and to include existing commitments. Other factors influencing site selection include access to public transport and the need to minimise any detrimental impact on the environment.

Land zoned for housing will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and with the Plan Proposals, including Key Site Requirements where relevant. These may include access/infrastructure requirements, public open space provision, protection or enhancement of nature conservation interests, landscaping, provision for walking and/or cycling, local neighbourhood facilities and other site-specific requirements.

Urban Environment

Moira Conservation AreaDesignated in 1983, Moira Conservation Area comprises the historic core of the 18th century town, along Main Street. The area includes town centre commercial uses with some recent residential backland development. The publicly owned demesne protects the setting of the area to the northwest and a degree of protection is found elsewhere by the lack of access from main roads and the prevalence of split ownership. The juxtaposition of the Church of Ireland, the Demesne and Main Street are central to the layout of the 18th century town of Moira.

The views of St. John’s spire and the 18th century parkland, from the surrounding area and in particular from the north and M1 motorway, contribute significantly to the special character and appearance of the town, providing an attractive natural setting.

Development Proposals within Moira Conservation Area will be assessed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy as currently set out in PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage and any design guidance.

The Conservation Area is identified on Map No. 5 – Moira and is available on the Department’s Planning NI website www.planningni.gov.uk or from the local Area Planning Office.


Designation MA 11

Historic Park, Garden and Demesne Moira Castle

A Historic Park, Garden and Demesne of Special Historic Interest is designated at Moira Castle and is identified on Map No. 5 – Moira.

The house was demolished in 1870 but there is pictorial evidence as to its appearance and its

71

Part 4 Volume 3

surrounding parkland in the late 18th century. The demesne dates from the 17th century and a good portion remains as a public park. The historical interest lies in the layout of straight avenues (replanted) with orientation onto features in the town and vestiges of canals and ponds. There are some impressive and mature trees, including two large planes. Other mature trees still exist in the farmland, formerly parkland, beyond the present-day public park. In 1969 a note in the UAHS book on the locality says of Moira demesne, ‘… planting remains (after the demolition of the castle), constituting a rare and potentially valuable asset in an area otherwise poor in landscaped parkland’. The site is of historic interest as it was the site of the first glasshouses in Ireland.

The details of the Historic Park, Garden and Demesne are included in a register of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest in Northern Ireland, published by Northern Ireland Environment Agency. This Register summarises the historical significance of each site and the contribution that its planned features make to the local landscape. It also seeks to encourage the public, as well as owners, to value and support the protection and maintenance of such sites.

Prevailing regional planning policy for the protection of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest is set out in PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage. Additional information about Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes is available on the Department’s NIEA website www.doeni.gov.uk/niea.




An area of existing open space above one hectare is listed below and identified for information only on Map No. 5 – Moira.

AGHALEEAghalee has an attractive setting on the steep, wooded slopes of Friary Glen, and is situated beside the now disused Lagan Navigational Canal.

The early development of Aghalee was due to its strategic location beside the canal, and with the opening of the Lagan Navigational Canal at the end of the 18th century, the village became a distribution centre for the surrounding area. It developed as an important lock station on the Lagan Navigation, and was one of the last sizeable settlements before the canal entered Lough Neagh.

While the canal was in operation, trade continued on a significant scale. When the canal finally ceased to operate in 1954, the area began to decline in commercial importance. The population of the settlement decreased considerably in the latter part of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century.

The village retains many of the 18th century structures and buildings belonging to the canal, adding to the character of the settlement. From the 1970s Aghalee developed as a commuter area for Belfast and Craigavon and this was accompanied by significant population growth.

Designation AG 01

Settlement Development Limit Aghalee

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 6 – Aghalee.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing, while recognising the role of the village and protecting its natural setting. The limit excludes important landscapes including a ridge that rises

sharply to the north and east, running in a north west/south eastern direction. This area is visible over large tracts of countryside to the south, north, west and from Lough Neagh. It also prevents ribbon development on the Ballinderry Road and Soldierstown Road.

Part 4 Volume 3

DROMARADromara enjoys an upland setting being located on the northern slopes of Slieve Croob. The River Lagan and its valley dominate the landscape to the west of the settlement, and flows through the centre of the village.

Dromara is a small mill village and although many of its buildings appear to date from the early nineteenth century, the street pattern suggests that the settlement has a much earlier history. It formerly had its own court and market house and a market place at the road junction in the centre of the village. St John’s Church is the oldest building in Dromara, and the site of the church has a history extending back to the early fourteenth century as ecclesia de Druimberra.

Designation DA 01

Settlement Development Limit Dromara

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 8 – Dromara.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting. Land with extant planning permission for housing is included within the limit. The limit excludes important landscapes of the Lagan Valley to the north and the River Lagan corridor to the north west and the south west of the settlement, agricultural land and land not committed for development. The Settlement Development Limit takes account of the need to prevent ribbon development along the Hillsborough Road, Rathfriland Road and Moybrick Road.

Housing Land designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and the relevant Plan Proposals including Key Site Requirements where specified.

The following site is complete at 31 July 2011.

DRUMBEGDrumbeg village consists of two nodes of development, separated by a substantial area of agricultural land, and is located to the east of the M1 motorway, and south east of Dunmurry. The village has an attractive setting and is situated within the Lagan Valley Regional Park, and the Lagan Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The earliest elements of Drumbeg date back to at least the medieval period, when a Parish Church was recorded at the site of the present St Patrick’s Church. As a settlement, Drumbeg has largely evolved over the past 200 years, and in more recent years more extensive development has occurred along the western side of the present Drumbeg Road.

The Settlement Development Limit takes account of the role of the village whilst protecting its natural setting. The limit will maintain a compact form and exclude important landscapes to the south, east and north. The Settlement Development Limit also takes account of the village’s location within the Lagan Valley Regional Park and Lagan Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the setting of St Patrick’s Church, a listed building and archaeological site. It prevents ribbon development along the Ballyskeagh Road, Quarterlands Road and Drumbeg Road.

Drumbeg as a designated settlement within the Lagan Valley Regional Park is identified as a suitable location for the provision of service facilities for visitors to the Lagan Valley Regional Park.

Part 4 Volume 3

DRUMBODrumbo lies within an Area of High Scenic Value, occupying a unique hilltop setting with panoramic views over the Lagan Valley.

Drumbo is laid out around a junction of route ways that now converge at the front of the Presbyterian Meeting House. The Meeting House is on an earlier church site that would have been an important monastic site in the first millennium AD. The ruins of a round tower in the graveyard at Drumbo represent the remains of the earlier site. The present village has expanded along the ridge away from the church and graveyard, with much of the built form developing in the late twentieth century. The church buildings still occupy a prominent site at the centre of the settlement.

Designation DO 01

The Settlement Development Limit is also designated to protect the setting of Drumbo Presbyterian Church, a listed building and Drumbo Round Tower, a scheduled monument. It takes into account land with extant planning permission, and prevents ribbon development along the Pinehill Road, Drumbo Road, Back Road and Front Road.

Housing Land designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional

Part 4 Volume 3

GLENAVYGlenavy is sited on the banks of the Glenavy River. Stone walls, bridges and mature riverside trees provide interest on approaches to the village, and contribute to its character.

Glenavy was first recorded as a Parish Church site in the fourteenth century, but there are strong Patrician associations with this site suggesting a lengthy ecclesiastical history. The present St Aidan’s Church is on the site of the earlier foundations, and is located on what was the junction of a number of important route ways. By the early nineteenth century some industrial development had taken place, and this contributed to the growth of the village. The present layout, with its broad main street, gives the settlement a strong sense of place.

The proximity of the village to the City of Lisburn, and good road links north to Antrim and south to the M1 motorway have combined to attract new housing to the settlement. The A26 Moira Road currently forms the greater part of the eastern development limit, while the now disused railway line acts as the western limit.

Designation GY 01

Settlement Development Limit Glenavy

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 11 – Glenavy.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the role of the village whilst protecting its natural setting. The limit excludes important elevated landscapes, including Sentry Hill, east of the railway line and north of Pigeontown Road; and Bonfire Hill, south of the Tullynewbank Road, both being visible over large tracts of countryside. The Settlement Development Limit also excludes agricultural land, land not committed for development and takes account of the setting of listed buildings such as St. Aidan’s Church. It is

designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing, and prevents ribbon development along Gobrana Road, Belfast Road, Lisburn Road and the Moira Road.

LOWER BALLINDERRYLower Ballinderry lies on the eastern shore of Lough Neagh, with the Glenavy Road running through the centre of the settlement. The village is situated on gently undulating land with an open aspect to the east, west and south.

Lower Ballinderry was sited on a crossroads that linked the medieval church site of Aghagallon (Ballinderry Old Graveyard), and later to the Plantation site of Portmore Castle. The village has at its core Ballinderry Moravian Church, a listed building which along with other listed structures forms a distinct core to the settlement around the crossroads. The settlement has a pre-eminently 18th century character, visible in buildings, in form and layout, and in the lime tree plantings.

MAGHABERRYMaghaberry is set on the Upper Ballinderry Plateau, with the steeper escarpment slopes on the southern margin of the plateau delineating the southern boundary of the settlement. These slopes overlook the Lagan Valley and are particularly sensitive to new development.

Until the early 20th Century, Maghaberry was a townland with a rural crossroads, on the edge of the plateau area. The economy of the area was primarily agriculture-based, with a number of limestone quarries. The village serves as a commuter settlement, with its population working and shopping outside the settlement.

Designation MY 01

Settlement Development Limit Maghaberry

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 13 – Maghaberry.

The Settlement Development Limit takes account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting. The limit excludes the steep escarpment slope to the south of the settlement that provides its distinctive setting. It also excludes sites of archaeological and wildlife interest such as the Glen Rath and Spence’s Fort, as well as agricultural land and land not committed to development. The limit is designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing, and it is also drawn to prevent ribbon development on the Hammonds Road, the Glen Road and Maghaberry Road.

Housing Land designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas will be developed in accordance with prevailing Regional Planning Policy and the relevant Plan Proposals including Key Site Requirements where specified.

Part 4 Volume 3

MILLTOWN Milltown is separated from the urban area of both Lisburn and Dunmurry by a small area of open and elevated countryside.

Milltown, as its name suggests, owes much of its history to the succession of mills that were established by the early nineteenth century, and which continued to develop over the next 100 years. Christ Church, a local landmark, lies to the eastern end of the settlement, is situated on an earlier site that dates back to at least the medieval period.

Throughout the nineteenth century the village of Milltown was fairly modest in size, but the settlement has expanded significantly in the later twentieth century.

Designation MN 01

Settlement Development Limit Milltown

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 14 – Milltown.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting. The limit excludes the important landscape and nature conservation areas including Hulls Glen to the north west, Derriaghy Glen to the north west and an area of woodland to the east. It is tightly drawn to prevent coalition with Belfast and Lisburn and preserve the Mosside Landscape Wedge to the north, east and south of the settlement. It will also prevent the encroachment of development into the Belfast Basalt Escarpment Area of High Scenic Value to the north and west of Milltown, and excludes land not committed for development. The limit is designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing, and to prevent ribbon development along the Derriaghy Road and the Barnfield Road.

Housing

Land designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and the relevant Plan Proposals including Key Site Requirements where specified.

The following sites are designated as Housing Land use Policy Areas and are complete at 31 July 2011.

Part 4 Volume 3

Stonebridge Meadows are included within the village. The Settlement Development Limit has been drawn to prevent ribbon development along Stoneyford Road, Moss Road and Steedstown Road.

Housing Lands designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas will be developed in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and the relevant Plan Proposals including Key Site Requirements where specified.


Designation SY 02


The following sites are designated as Housing Land Use Policy Areas as identified on Map No. 16 – Stoneyford.


SY 02/01 The Beeches Manor, off Stoneyford Road

1.89

SY 02/02 Stonebridge Meadows Housing Development, off Stoneyford Road

2.73

The following site is designated as a Housing Land Use Policy Area and has extant approval on which development is not started or development is ongoing.

STONEYFORDDevelopment extends along both sides of Stoneyford Road, which runs through the village on a north/west to south/east axis. Four other minor roads meet Stoneyford Road on the western edge of the village where the landscape of the surrounding countryside is characterised by marshy low-lying fields and low, gently undulating hills.

Stoneyford originated as a small linear settlement, situated beside a fording point on a river, which gives the place its name. St John’s Church was established here in the mid-nineteenth century, extending the settlement to the south-east. The construction of the Stoneyford Reservoir greatly changed the character of lands to the south of the settlement, and the reservoir is now an important feature of the village.

Higher ground rising steeply towards the north east and east, leads up to the Belfast escarpment of the Antrim Hills and acts as a scenic backdrop to the village behind the Stoneyford Road. Stoneyford Reservoir and higher ground south of the reservoir perform a similar function to the south west. The Stoneyford River flows through the village from the east to Lough Neagh, and its tree-line banks contribute to the landscape character and setting of the village.

Designation SY 01

Settlement Development Limit Stoneyford

A Settlement Development Limit is designated as identified on Map No. 16 – Stoneyford.

The Settlement Development Limit is designated to take account of the role of the settlement whilst protecting its natural setting.

UPPER BALLINDERRYThe village of Upper Ballinderry is a small mill village with a prominent church, mill building and estate. The A26 bypasses the village to the east and forms an effective limit to development.

Upper Ballinderry is situated on relatively flat land rising gradually to the east. The village has developed in a linear form on both sides of North Street and is contained by the Glenavy Road to the east and the disused railway line to the to the north. It is a small settlement that has developed around a crossroads. The original road has been realigned with the more recent Glenavy Road situated to the east of the earlier route. The western approaches to Ballinderry are greatly enhanced by the planting around the Church of Ireland and Oatland Cottage.

Part 4 Volume 3

CountrysideLisburn City Council area contains a particularly diverse range of landscapes, ranging from prominent upland areas such as the Belfast Hills, to the shores of Lough Neagh, and the Lagan Valley Regional Park. The steep summits of the Antrim Plateau dominate the landscape setting to the north of Lisburn, as the plateau descends gradually towards the shores of Lough Neagh to the west, and the Lagan Valley to the south. The Lagan Valley Regional Park lies to the east of Lisburn, and to the west, the Lagan flows within a broader valley that contains areas of extensive flat arable farmland, and several small settlements. Further to the east of the District, the Castlereagh Plateau forms a ridge enclosing Belfast.

There are several areas of international and national nature conservation importance in Lisburn District, many of which are located along the portion of Lough Neagh shoreline situated within Lisburn City Council area.

Aspects of rural economy are considered under Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing in the Countryside and Coast section of Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

Regional Policy ContextIn recognising that the environment is one of Northern Ireland’s most important assets, the RDS under RG 11, seeks to conserve, protect and, where possible, enhance our built heritage and our natural environment.

Aims to achieve this as outlined in the RDS include the following:

• Sustain and enhance biodiversity;

• Protect and manage important geological and geomorphological features;

• Protect, enhance and manage the coast;

• Recognise and promote the conservation of local identity and distinctive landscape character ;

• Conserve, protect and where possible enhance areas recognised for their landscape quality; and

• Protect designated areas of countryside from inappropriate development (either directly or indirectly) and continue to assess areas for designation.

The Department’s regional planning policies for the protection of conservation interests are currently set out in PPS 2: Natural Heritage, PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage and PPS 6 (Addendum): Areas of Townscape Character.

Other Departmental regional planning policies in relation to the environment, including protection of rural landscapes, assessment of environmental effects of proposals and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), are set out in PPS 21: Sustainable Development in the Countryside and A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland.

Natural Environment

Areas of International and National Nature Conservation ImportanceA number of areas of international and national nature conservation importance are located within the countryside in Lisburn City Council area. They comprise the following:

• Part of Lough Neagh and Lough Beg Ramsar Site;

Rural Landscape Wedges

Proposals for development within Rural Landscape Wedges will be determined in accordance with Plan Policy COU 1 and, where applicable, Plan Policy ENV 1 as contained in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

197

Part 4 Volume 3

Designation LN 02

Rural Landscape Wedge Mosside

A Rural Landscape Wedge is designated between Lisburn City and Metropolitan Lisburn as identified on Map No. 1 - Lisburn Countryside.

The designated Rural Landscape Wedge will:

• distinguish and maintain the separate identities of Lisburn City and Metropolitan Lisburn at Lagmore;

• prevent the merging of the two component areas of Lisburn City and Lagmore in Metropolitan Lisburn;

• provide an important element in defining and protecting the setting of the two areas; and

• maintain the rural character of the countryside.

The Wedge is primarily agricultural but is also an important amenity resource for residents. It breaks up the housing mass in the vicinity whilst providing valuable open space for the people who live in the urban area, connecting the Belfast Hills and Lagmore Glen with the Lagan Valley Regional Park.

The wedge has a significant biodiversity role and there are two Sites of Local Nature Conservation Interest (SLNCIs) designated in the area. One is located at Milltown Church at the junction of the Derriaghy and McKinstry Roads, and the other is in the Derriaghy Glen.

A Rural Landscape Wedge is also designated between the Metropolitan Development Limit at West Belfast and the Hannahstown Settlement Development Limit. This will distinguish and maintain the separate identities of West Belfast and Hannahstown by forming a visual break between the two urban areas and prevent the merging of the two communities. It will also define and protect their setting and maintain the rural character of

the countryside. The most significant portion of this Rural Landscape Wedge lies within Belfast City and is designated accordingly in the Belfast District Proposals, Volume 2 of the Plan.

Areas of High Scenic Value Four Areas of High Scenic Value (AOHSV), the Belfast Basalt Escarpment, Magheraknock Loughs, Portmore Lough and the Castlereagh Slopes, are located within Lisburn City Council area and are designated as COU 5/04, COU 5/05, COU 5/06 and COU 5/07 in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

These are identified on Map No. 1/001 – Lisburn Countryside. Clarification maps are available on the Department’s Planning NI website www.planningni.gov.uk or from the local Area Planning Office.

Belfast Basalt Escarpment The majority of this AOHSV lies within Belfast District, with smaller portions in Lisburn and Newtownabbey Districts. The distinctive landform of Belfast Basalt Escarpment was identified in the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment as an area of scenic quality and is designated in the Plan as an Area of High Scenic Value at COU 5/04. The edge of the Antrim Plateau is well defined as the steep basalt scarp slope that stretches from Lisburn to Newtownabbey. The presence of several quarries, both active and abandoned, coupled with illegal dumping add to the neglected and unkempt character of some parts of the Hills, however this is a very unique landscape and therefore merits protection from further degradation.

The majority of the Belfast Basalt Escarpment Area of High Scenic Value is situated within the Belfast Hills, which provide a backdrop to the north and west of Belfast, and make an important contribution to the setting of the Metropolitan Area. Interested parties have now come together to form the Belfast Hills Partnership Trust to look towards conserving, protecting and enhancing the natural and built heritage, providing opportunities for responsible

198

Part 4 Volume 3

enjoyment of the countryside, and contributing to the quality of life for the residents and adjoining communities.

Magheraknock Loughs The area including Magheraknock Loughs and their immediate shoreline was identified in the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment as an area of scenic quality and is designated in the Plan as an Area of High Scenic Value at COU 5/05. Located between the A49 and A24 roads south of The Temple, many of the loughs are obscured from view by the drumlin landform. The area has a uniform appearance, characterised by a patchwork of fields divided by hedgerows, and is coming under increasing pressure from development. Due to the sensitive nature of the area, it is unlikely that it will be able to absorb significantly more development without suffering irreparable damage.

Portmore Lough The area surrounding Portmore Lough was identified in the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment as an area of scenic quality and is designated in the Plan as an Area of High Scenic Value at COU 5/06. Portmore Lough, with an area of approximately 286 hectares, is a small lake that flows into the south east of Lough Neagh. It is situated in a relatively remote area that is characterised by marginal, partially waterlogged farmland and fen. The land is not of particularly good agricultural quality, but the area is exceptionally important for nature conservation and is home to wintering wildfowl and other nesting birds.

Castlereagh Slopes The majority of this AOHSV lies within Lisburn City Council area with a small portion in Castlereagh District. The distinctive landform of the Castlereagh Slopes was identified in the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment as an area of scenic quality and is designated in the Plan as an Area of High Scenic Value at COU 5/07. Stretching

from the eastern fringe of Lisburn to Carryduff just outside Belfast, the landscape is characterised by predominantly good quality, rolling landform. Large fields, bounded by hedgerows dominate the lower slopes, with smaller fields on the upper slopes. The Slopes are transversed by narrow winding roads that link the ridge-tops with the edges of Belfast. This rural landscape is a very desirable place to live, as it is easily accessible to Belfast or Lisburn. This in turn has led to an increase in demand for housing, especially along the main road corridors.

Proposals will be assessed in accordance with Policy COU 6, as set out in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

Belfast Hills Access PointsThe Belfast Basalt Escarpment and Carnmoney Hill are recognised by the Belfast Hills Partnership Trust as the main components of the area known as the ‘Belfast Hills’. They are a striking landscape feature which frame Metropolitan Lisburn and Lisburn City to the north and west and provide Lisburn with its unique natural setting.

The Belfast Hills are important for their landscape, natural heritage and visual amenity, however, they also have an important role in education, tourism and as a resource for countryside recreation. Much of the land within the Belfast Hills is privately owned which limits formal access. A series of access points are designated to address this problem, and provide for countryside recreation and amenity development.

One access point already exists and two are proposed to provide opportunities for future development.

Policy for control of development in designated access points is contained in Policy COU 8 – Belfast Hills Access Points in Part 1 of the Plan.

Attention has been given to the distribution of designated access points to reduce visitor impact. The access points will facilitate access to the portion of the Belfast Basalt Escarpment which is within Lisburn

199

Part 4 Volume 3

District as designated at COU 5/04 in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

Designation LN 03

Belfast Hills Access Points

The following Access Points are designated in the locations identified on Map No. 3 Metropolitan Lisburn.

LN 03/01 Lagmore Dam (proposed)

LN 03/02 Lagmore Road (existing)

LN 03/03 Colinwell Road (proposed)

Further details of each access point are contained in the Countryside Assessment Technical Supplement as prepared for the draft Plan.

The Lagmore Road access point is located within the Belfast Basalt Escarpment AOHSV as designated at COU 5/04 in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

The access points also fall within designated SLNCIs, LLPAs or existing Open Space.

Policy for the control of development within these designated access points is contained in Policy COU 8 as set out in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan and other plan policies relating to AOHSV, SLNCIs, LLPAs, Open Space and prevailing regional planning policy.

Urban Environment

Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes

Designation LN 04

Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes

The following Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest are designated as identified on Map No. 1 – Lisburn Countryside.

LN 04/01 Kilwarlin Moravian Church

LN 04/02 Larchfield

Larchfield Demesne, situated to the east of Hillsborough, is fully enclosed by walls. The house dates from 1834 and is listed, as are the stables and coach house. The site provides a good example of a traditional demesne adapted to modern use.

The gardens at Kilwarlin Moravian Church, situated to the west of Hillsborough, consist of a Battle Garden of which there are very few examples in the UK. The church was built in 1755, improved in 1834 and is listed.

Further details of each Historic Park, Garden and Demesne are included in a register of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest in Northern Ireland, published by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, DOE. This Register summarises the historical significance of each site and the contribution that its planned features make to the local landscape. It also seeks to encourage the public, and owners, to value and support the protection and maintenance of such sites.

Prevailing regional policy for the protection of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes of special historic interest is set out in PPS 6: Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage. Additional information about Historic Parks, Gardens and

200

Part 4 Volume 3

Demesnes is available on the Department’s NIEA website www.doeni.gov.uk/niea.


Area of Significant Archaeological Interest

Designation LN 05

Area of Significant Archaeological Interest The Giant’s Ring

An Area of Significant Archaeological Interest (ASAI) is designated close to Edenderry village, as identified on Map No. 1 – Lisburn Countryside.

The Giant’s Ring, situated within the Lagan Valley Regional Park, is one of the most important prehistoric monuments in Northern Ireland, and knowledge of the monument has been enhanced by recent studies identifying a major complex of related sites in the surrounding area. Its prominent elevated location surrounded by a combination of open fields and mature woodland is both visually impressive and archaeologically significant. The Department will seek to encourage the positive management and, where possible, the enhancement of this ASAI in order to promote the appreciation of this significant archaeological resource.

Policy LN 06

Area of Significant Archaeological Interest The Giant’s Ring

Within the designated Area of Significant Archaeological Interest, planning permission will not be granted for proposals for large-scale development or the erection of masts or pylons, unless it can be demonstrated that there will be no significant impact on the character and

appearance of this distinctive historic landscape. Particular attention will be paid to the impact of proposals when viewed from the monuments and other critical viewpoints within the area and on the impression gained while moving in and around the area.

The advice of the Department’s Northern Ireland Environment Agency as well as the Historic Monuments Council will be a major consideration in deciding on the acceptability or otherwise of any proposals which may affect the area.

The Department will use its development management powers to ensure that the setting of the monument is preserved and that development does not have a detrimental effect on sites and monuments or the character, appearance or visual amenity of the surrounding landscape. Accordingly, there will be a general presumption against large-scale developments within the ASAI, such as quarrying or mining operations, waste disposal, industrial units or major tourism schemes and proposals for the erection of masts or pylons. It is considered the scale and overall impact of such proposals could be particularly damaging to the distinctive appearance, character and heritage interests of the area. Other development proposals will be determined on their merits having regard to the Department’s regional planning policies and Plan Proposals. Should planning permission be granted for development within this area the Department will require the implementation of mitigation works.

Strategic Land Reserve of Regional Importance

Designation LN 08

Strategic Land Reserve of Regional Importance The Maze Lands

The Maze Lands, designated as shown on Map No. 1 – Lisburn Countryside, are identified as a Strategic Land Reserve of Regional Importance. These lands are safeguarded from any development that would prejudice their potential as a reserve for any future major development of regional significance.

The former Maze prison site and adjacent lands incorporating the former Long Kesh army base closed in September 2000. The site comprises approximately 141 hectares of land located in the countryside in Lisburn City Council area.

Under the Government’s Re-investment and Reform Initiative (RRI) announced in May 2002, the Maze Prison and adjacent lands incorporating the former Long Kesh army base were transferred from the Ministry of Defence to the Northern Ireland Executive. Both these sites are now in the ownership of the Office of the First Minster and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM). These lands present considerable potential for future development and form a significant land reserve, which could at some future point be developed in the wider public interest. The facilitation of proposals for the regeneration of this substantial site is being taken forward by the OFMDFM.

The Plan designation recognises that the Maze lands offer potential for major development of regional significance, and to allow the potential of these lands to be fully explored, the Plan safeguards the site from development that could undermine its strategic significance.

Funds have been pledged from Europe of £20 million for an iconic peace-building and conflict resolution

centre, whilst the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) relocated from Balmoral during 2013.

Public Services and UtilitiesA proposal for new cemetery and crematorium on lands opposite Nos. 3 and 5 Lisburn Road, Moira was approved early in 2012. This includes a 9,000 plot cemetery, access roads and around 300 parking spaces.

Tourism Lisburn has the largest rural area of any of the Districts in the BMA, and it contains a number of important natural assets including the Lagan Valley Regional Park, a portion of Lough Neagh and other attractions and activities that have the potential to draw tourism to the District.

The Lagan Valley Regional Park provides opportunities for informal countryside recreation, with the key challenge being to secure the economic benefits of tourism development whilst conserving the assets of the natural environment. There are also a number of Areas of High Scenic Value, ranging from the edge of the Belfast Basalt Escarpment, the Castlereagh slopes, Magheraknock Loughs and the edge of Portmore Lough.

The reopening of disused canals to create a regional network of waterways centred on Lough Neagh in order to facilitate water-based tourism and recreational traffic between the Lough, rivers and coast is a strategic government objective. There are significant tourism benefits to be gained if the Lagan Canal is restored for navigation. The majority of the canal’s locks fall within the Lisburn City Council area, and Lisburn City Council in conjunction with central Government and other Council Areas with an interest in the reopening of the Canal see it as a major recreational resource.

The village of Hillsborough offers both historical and heritage attractions including Hillsborough Castle and Gardens, and Hillsborough Park Forest. Other places

204

Part 4 Volume 3

of interest in rural Lisburn include the Balance House in Glenavy, which is the birth place of John Balance, one of New Zealand’s most distinguished Prime Ministers; and Brookehall Historical Farm. There are also a number of golf courses in Lisburn City Council area, including Aberdelghy, Colin Valley, Dunmurry and Lisburn.

The Lagan Valley Regional ParkThe Lagan Valley Regional Park is a unique asset for the population of the Belfast Metropolitan Area. Approximately two thirds of the Regional Park and Lagan Valley Area of Outstanding National Beauty is situated within Lisburn City Council area. It is a significant recreational resource that covers the area between Edenderry to the north of Lisburn, stretching to Union Locks in the City and has a variable urban and rural character, mature woodlands, agricultural fields and much grassland diversity.

While the majority of the Regional Park within the District is in agricultural use, small portions at Fullerton Park, Dunmurry and Seymour Hill, Derriaghy are situated within the Metropolitan Development Limit. There are also lands situated within the Settlement Development Limit of Lisburn City which consist of amenity parklands and casual recreation areas focused on the riverside corridor. These recreation areas make a major contribution to the enjoyment of the Park, as well as playing a vital role in sustaining the well-established parkland character.

All of the settlements within the Park (Lisburn, Ballyaughlis, Ballylesson, Ballyskeagh, Drumbeg, Edenderry, Hillhall, Lambeg and Tullynacross) are located in Lisburn City Council area and function as service centres for visitors to the Park. Policy for the control of development within these Settlement Development Limits and within the Metropolitan Development Limit is set out in Policy COU 12 of Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

A series of nodes are identified (LN 09 – LN 14) based on an existing focus of activity within which

it is considered appropriate to locate recreational, tourist, interpretative or educational facilities.

Within designated nodes favourable consideration will be given to the provision of seating, picnic areas, lighting, signage, public art, footbridges, pathways and viewpoints of an appropriate scale and location provided they visually integrate into the Park. No development will be permitted which would prejudice the future reopening of the Lagan Navigation.

Policy for the control of development within the designated Lagan Valley Regional Park Nodes is contained in COU 11 in Part 3, Volume 1 of the Plan.

Designation LN 09

Lagan Valley Regional Park Node Ballyskeagh Adjacent to Lisburn Distillery Football Ground

A Lagan Valley Regional Park Node is designated at Ballyskeagh, adjacent to Lisburn Distillery Football Ground as identified on Map No. 1 – Lisburn Countryside.


• Acceptable uses at this node are based on the predominant character of the area. These are defined as recreation, information/interpretative or educational facilities. Small-scale refreshment facilities or uses associated with outdoor sport and recreation are considered appropriate at this location.

Designation LN 10

Lagan Valley Regional Park Node Glenmore Activity Centre

A Lagan Valley Regional Park Node is designated at Glenmore Activity Centre as identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.

205

Part 4 Volume 3


• Acceptable uses at this node are based on the predominant character of the area. These are defined as biodiversity and education, amenity and outdoor recreation; and

• The Lagan watercourse, which forms the eastern boundary of the site, shall be integrated into the proposed development.

Water-based recreation uses may be appropriate at this location providing it is demonstrated that no harm will be caused to the nature conservation interest in the area.

This area of riverside land is centred on the Glenmore Activity Centre and playing fields and is surrounded by open land on three sides. The potential for development is based on the possibility of direct access to the towpath and the beauty of the natural waterside landscape. The appropriate development of this site would build on the services provided in the existing building and consolidate its amenity and recreation role.

The Lagan at Lambeg SLNCI runs adjacent to the north eastern boundary of the site. Detailed consultation with the NIEA (Natural Heritage), DOE, will be required.

An existing combined trunk sewer runs through the centre of the site from east to west. An existing foul trunk sewer runs through the south western corner of the site. Existing large storm sewers are located adjacent to and within the western and north western boundaries of the site. These may limit future development of the site.

Detailed consultation with Northern Ireland Water will be required as its infrastructure is contained within the site.

A pumping station is located in close proximity to the site therefore regard shall be had to noise nuisance, smell etc.

The site is located in the flood plain of the River Lagan. Detailed consultation with Rivers Agency, DARD, will be required.

• Public access shall be maximised to the area north of the building marked ‘A’ on Map No. 50, as agreed with the Department; and

• A section of the site is situated in the River Lagan floodplain. A flood risk assessment shall be carried out and submitted to the Department to inform proposals for the development of the site.

This node is situated east of the Mixed Use Site at Barbour Threads Mill, Mill Street (Ref. Zoning LC 08) within the settlement development limit of Lisburn City. All proposals for this site will be assessed in accordance with the appropriate Key Site Requirements.

The Department considers that future development of this site would enhance the appearance of the Park and preserve the industrial heritage.

Informal recreation, leisure, education and interpretative facilities are considered to be appropriate providing there is no detrimental impact on the industrial or natural heritage of the area. If the Lagan Navigation were to reopen, the site would offer possibilities for a refreshment facility, providing

an attractive stopping off-point, helping to define the identity of the Hilden area. No development will be permitted which would have a detrimental impact on the sensitive natural environment of the island site between the River and the canal.

Designation LN 12

Lagan Valley Regional Park Node Lisburn Civic Centre

A Lagan Valley Regional Park Node is designated at Lisburn Civic Centre as identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.



- Uses directly related to the Civic Centre;

- Interpretative / visitor facilities;

- Refreshment / Restaurant facilities;

- Education / heritage uses;

- Public Open Space;

• The Lagan watercourse and disused Canal, which runs through the northern portion of the site, shall be integrated in the proposed development; and

• Built development shall be centred on, and shall retain the character of the existing building. Changes of use within the existing building to facilitate visitors are preferable.

The Plan recognises this part of the Park as a major opportunity area for extending access and circulation to the towpath and the wider river and canal environs that have the potential to become more important as routes for pedestrians and cyclists. From a waterways perspective this is the gateway to the City of Lisburn with the reopened lock 12, the first in the Lagan navigation.

The civic space provides an important visual link with Castle Gardens and the city centre provides car parking and caters for a wide range of casual recreation while providing refreshment facilities. The Department would consider it important to consolidate this role and facilitate the interpretative/

education facilities to enhance the visitor experience and increase tourism spend in the Park by making it more accessible to the public.

A large existing combined trunk sewer is located within the northern section of the site. An existing storm trunk sewer is located adjacent to and within a section of the northern boundary of this site. These may limit future development of the site. Detailed consultation with Northern Ireland Water will be required.

Designation LN 13

Lagan Valley Regional Park Node Union Bridge, Lisburn

A Lagan Valley Regional Park Node is designated at Union Bridge, Lisburn as identified on Map No. 2/001 – Lisburn City.



- Outdoor recreation and sporting facilities;

- Interpretative / visitor facilities;

- Small-scale refreshment facilities;

- Education / heritage uses;

- Public Open Space;

• Development of the site shall only be permitted in accordance with an overall comprehensive masterplan, to be agreed with the Department, which outlines the proposed design concept, objectives and priorities for the site; and

• The Lagan watercourse, which forms the south eastern boundary of the site, shall be integrated into the proposed development.

Water-based recreation uses are appropriate providing it is demonstrated that no harm will be

Part 4 Volume 3

caused to the nature conservation interest in the area.

This node is focused on an existing council-owned park and area of open space. The enhancement of outdoor recreation and sporting facilities are considered to be appropriate due to its ease of accessibility from Lisburn City Centre and its capacity to open up access to the river and the wider path network within the Park.

Proposals will be assessed in the context of the site’s location within the flood plain of the River Lagan and its visual linkage with adjacent areas of riverside retail use, industry and warehousing.

Three existing large combined trunk sewers and foul trunk sewers are located within the western section of the site. A large abandoned foul trunk sewer runs through the eastern section and two storm overflow sewers are located within the eastern section of the site. These may limit future development of the site. Detailed consultation with Northern Ireland Water will be required.

The site is located in the flood plain of the River Lagan. Detailed consultation with Rivers Agency, DARD, will be required.

The layout belongs to the 19th century with sections accommodating many aspects of garden activity. There is a vegetable patch, an apple tree, lawn, ornamental flower beds (including box edging), rose pergola, a summer house and glasshouse with a vine. The garden is entirely enclosed by walls. Gardens private.

Criteria: A garden, park or demesne that provides some particular aspect of garden history or design.

Metropolitan Lisburn

ConwayThe original mid-19th century house and conservatory have gone but the site retains attributes of the original layout. Mature trees span a driveway sweeping up steeply to a balustraded terrace at the present building. There are exotic trees and a pond to the east of the building. The walled gardens are not planted up. Public access.

Seymour HillThe house of c.1789 (listed HB 19/19/1) is now institutional and the grounds open to the public. There is shelter belt planting and some mature trees in parkland. The walled garden is used as a nursery garden. Public access to grounds.

Criteria: A garden, park or demesne that forms an integral setting for a building or buildings of historical importance.

Part 4 Volume 3

Lisburn Countryside

BelvedereThe late 18th century house (listed HB 19/23/21) sits on high ground with lawns approached via a lime avenue. It is surrounded by mature woodland. There is an artificial lake and a walled garden, which is not cultivated.


BrookhillThe 18th century house, built near the site of a 17th century house, was demolished in 1960. However there are very fine stands of parkland trees in the surrounding fields and a notable block of woodland, which includes exotics, to the south east of the house. An ancient mound is enclosed in a wood at the front avenue. A back avenue is tree lined.

Criteria: A garden, park or demesne that provides some particular aspect of garden history or design.

PortmoreThis is no longer an active garden site, though it is a known one in association with a 17th century house, which extended to a large demesne, including a deer park of c.2000 acres. Private.

Criteria: A garden, park or demesne that provides some particular aspect of garden history or design (site of archaeological interest).

SpringfieldThe late 18th century house is listed (HB 19/3/4). There are fine mature trees in the parkland and at the house. Ordnance Survey Memoirs of 1837 contain a detailed account of the garden at that time. It was a noted garden in the early 20th century and there is an article in Irish Gardening of 1915 describing some of the planting. The walled garden is part cultivated. Private.
