This area, rich in heritage and biodiversity, is easily accessible to the urban population. To the south east of the Council area, the steep escarpment slopes of the Castlereagh Hills provide the landscape setting. opportunities for greater accessibility to green spaces such as the Lagan Valley Regional Park and the Lagan Navigation project. Figure 4: Neighbouring Councils There are a significant range of environmental designations, including a Ramsar Site located at Lough Neagh/Lough Beg, six Areas of High Scenic Value and eight Areas of Special Scientific Interest. In relation to the built heritage, the Council area has three Conservation Areas (Hillsborough, Moira and Lisburn City Centre), seven Areas of Townscape Character and six Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes. Antrim & Newtownabbey Belfast Neighbouring Councils The Council area shares boundaries with the following five neighbouring Councils: • Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council • Belfast City Council • Ards and North Down Borough Council • Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council • Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. There are a host of inter-relationships between Council areas. People travel across boundaries for work, education and leisure and there can be considerable benefits from recognising the important linkages between Council areas and working in collaboration with neighbouring Councils. For example, owing to its accessibility, new employment at Maze Lands and West Lisburn/Blaris can provide opportunities for people living in West Belfast where unemployment is high. There is scope for working collaboratively on a range of infrastructure issues. There are also shared Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon LCCC Newry, Mourne & Down Ards & North Down Spatial Context 15
