Local Development Plan

The Castlereagh Urban Integrated Development Framework
This joint project was undertaken on behalf of the former Castlereagh
Borough Council and the former Department for Social Development
(DSD), published in November 2014. The framework document sets out a
coherent future vision for the urban areas within the former Castlereagh
Borough Council area and identifies key regeneration concepts for the
future development of the area as a thriving, enterprising and
competitive district.

Development Framework
It focuses on the commercial centres of Carryduff, Dundonald and
Forestside, setting out a long-term, high-level, inspiring vision up to the
year 2022.
For Carryduff the Framework identifies a town centre boundary identical
to the BMAP boundary and suggests a mix of uses including retail,
restaurants, health uses and a library.
At Forestside the Framework encourages a diverse range of businesses in
order to balance ‘the dominance of retail development’. It suggests other
uses such as office development, innovative businesses as well as
restaurants would be acceptable.
The Framework identifies 3 main commercial cores at Dundonald i.e.
Dundonald Local Centre, Comber Road Shops and Dundonald Leisure Park
and suggests that Dundonald Local Centre should continue to provide the
primary retail offer, supported by the local services and businesses on the
Comber Road.
