Key Issue 30: Protecting and Enhancing Natural Heritage Assets The protection and enhancement of natural heritage assets is in keeping with regional policy provided through the RDS and the SPPS. It is considered fundamentally important to protect, conserve, and, where possible, enhance and restore the natural heritage assets within the Council area. A significant proportion of the area is designated for its natural heritage value and it plays an important role in balancing the growth of the area whilst protecting and enhancing these assets as part of maintaining the landscape quality, distinctiveness and attractiveness of the area. There are a number of key environmental assets within the Council area, including the International level designation (Special Protected Area and Ramsar Site at Lough Neagh) and National designations including the Nature Reserve at Belshaw’s Quarry, the Lagan Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a total of nine Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSIs). Portmore Lough. Source: RSPB Portmore Lough. Source: RSPB A number of Local Landscape Policy Areas (LLPAs), Areas of High Scenic Value (AOHSVs) and Landscape Wedges are identified which are designated through the existing Development Plan. Given the significant contribution of these designations, it is proposed that all the existing natural heritage assets as identified within the existing Development Plan should be afforded protection from undesirable or damaging development under the new Local Development Plan.
