Local Development Plan

Recommendations

Info

• Promote mixed-use development and improve integration between transport, economic development and other land uses, including housing • Ensure a high standard of quality and design for new economic development. Planning authorities should recognise and encourage proposals that could make an important contribution to sustainable economic growth when drawing up new plans. The guiding principle for policies and proposals for economic development in the countryside is to facilitate proposals likely to benefit the rural economy and support rural communities, while protecting and enhancing rural character and environment. A fundamental role for the Local Development Plan is to: • ensure that there is an ample supply of suitable land to meet economic development needs within the Plan area • identify previously developed land within settlements for potential economic development use, and identify opportunities for mixed use development • specify the type or range of economic development uses acceptable within zoned sites • include key site requirements to ensure developers provide necessary infrastructure. Planning Policy Statement 4: Planning & Economic Development (PPS 4) PPS 4 facilitates the economic development needs of the region in ways consistent with the protection of the environment and the principles of sustainable development. The objectives of PPS 4 are to: • promote sustainable economic development • tackle disadvantage and facilitate job creation • sustain a vibrant rural community • support the re-use of previously developed economic development sites and buildings • promote mixed use development and improve integration between transport, economic development and other land uses, including housing • ensure a high standard of quality and design for new economic development. Enabling Success: A Strategy to Tackle Economic Inactivity in Northern Ireland, DEL/DETI (published April 2015) ‘Enabling Success’ sets out the Northern Ireland Executive’s long-term approach to tackling economic inactivity in a progressive and sustainable way. The strategy outlines a range of measures, based on voluntary participation, which are designed to help individuals in economically inactive groups to make the transition towards, and into, work. The labour market barriers faced by these groups are varied and complex, ranging from a lack of skills and qualifications to low levels of selfconfidence and motivation and negative perceptions of, and attitudes towards, work. This strategy seeks to address these issues by recognising the diverse nature of these groups and ensuring that interventions designed to help them towards the labour market will be person-focused and based upon voluntary participation. The strategy also seeks to ensure that wider issues, such as societal attitudes towards older workers or individuals with mental health conditions, do not impede their progress towards work. 68 Key Issues and Options
Existing Development Plan The existing Development Plan (BMAP) provides an Employment Strategy which sustains balanced economic growth through: • promoting city and town centres as the main foci for retail and office functions • providing a generous and continuous supply of land for employment uses; and promoting a balanced portfolio • promoting a balanced portfolio and range of sites (including Mixed use). BMAP designates a total of 283 hectares across a number of locations throughout the Council area as land zoned for existing employment. There are a total of 264 hectares of land designated land zoned for employment (i.e. ‘new’ employment zonings). These include: • Major Employment Locations at West Lisburn/Blaris and Purdsysburn • Barbour Threads, Lisburn (mixed use) • Millmount, Dundonald • Knockmore Road, Lisburn • Lissue Road, Lisburn • Ballynahinch Road, Carryduff • Comber Road, Carryduff • Gobrana Road, Glenavy • Rathfriland Road, Dromara (mixed use). Existing employment zonings are addressed in further detail under Key Issue 5. The Major Employment Location at West Lisburn/Blaris is addressed in further detail under Key Issue 6. The Major Employment Location for a Mixed Use Site at Purdysburn is addressed in further detail under Key Issue 7.

It encompasses approximately 141 hectares of land located within a rural location to the west of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council area. This site is a substantial land reserve with significant potential for future development in the wider public interest. It is safeguarded from development proposals that could undermine its regional/strategic significance. Responsibility for the development of this site rests with The Executive Office. This key strategic site will form a central part of the new Local Development Plan and is addressed under Key Issue 8. Key Issues and Options 69
