1.0 Introduction

1.1 The Policy Context for Countryside Assessment Planning Policy Statement 1: “General Principles”, published in March 1998, states that Countryside Assessments are an integral part of the development plan-making process and will normally include four related strands:

- An Environmental Assets Appraisal, - A Landscape Assessment, - A Development Pressure Analysis and - A Settlement Appraisal.

Further guidance on the scope and content of each of these elements is contained in PPS1.

The requirement for Countryside Assessment is also outlined in “A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland”, published in September 1993, and is detailed in Policies SP12 and DES1. PPS2, Planning and Nature Conservation and PPS6, Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage also refers to this requirement in order to identify assets and resources in the countryside and features of built heritage. This information will then assist in the definition of land zonings, identification of locations for development limits and will form the basis for the definition of the following protective designations:

- Sites of Local Nature Conservation Importance (SLNCIs) - Areas of Townscape Character (ATC’s) - Areas of Significant Archaeological Interest - Areas of Archaeological Potential - Local Landscape Policy Areas (LLPA’s)

1.2 Summary of Content An Environmental Assets appraisal of the plan area incorporates an overall evaluation of nature conservation resources and historic, architectural and archaeological resources. This information is summarised in associated appendices.

The second element of the Countryside Assessment is the Landscape Assessment. This defines the main landscape character areas of a plan area and the variations between them. Where appropriate, it will identify landscapes that are vulnerable because of their limited capacity to absorb further development. Landscape Character Areas relevant to the Plan area have been identified from the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment 2000, the landscapes of Northern Ireland.

Landscape Assessment of the plan area also included the identification of Local Landscape Policy Areas through joint survey work with Landscape Architects Branch. These consist of those features and areas (identified in Section 2.0 – Environmental Assets Appraisal)

1


within and adjoining settlements considered to be of greatest amenity value, landscape quality or local significance and therefore worthy of protection from undesirable or damaging development.

A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland states under Policy SP12 Rural Landscapes that Countryside Assessments will identify development pressure and consider its impact on the landscape and local rural character. The Development Pressure Analysis forms the third element of the Countryside Assessment which identifies areas where significant development pressure has occurred and / or where local rural character is under threat of significant change. This information, combined with the landscape assessment and areas where it is considered necessary to protect landscapes from excessive or inappropriate development, will result in Green Belts being designated around cities and towns and Countryside Policy Areas (CPAs) elsewhere.

The Development Pressure Analysis for the Northern Area Plan is based upon the computerised Planner 20/20 records of planning applications within the Northern Area Plan countryside during the previous plan periods until the beginning of the present plan period. This research also includes an assessment of planning appeals. These records have been plotted on maps for each district in order to assist with the identification of development pressure areas.

The Settlement Appraisal is the fourth element of the Countryside Assessment which will assist in providing the basis for identification of limits of development and where appropriate land use zonings. An appraisal of the character, facilities, assets and constraints and justification of settlement limit is given for each town, village and small settlement in the Plan Area.

2.0 Environmental Assets Appraisal

2.1 Introduction In accordance with regional policy and Environmental Assets Appraisal seeks to establish and evaluate the environmental resources of the Districts that comprise the Northern Area Plan Area. It also assists in defining specific development plan designations.

The Environmental Assets Appraisal is structured in the following way: • The Natural heritage section provides an overall evaluation of

nature conservation resources; • The Built Heritage Section provides an overall evaluation of historic,

architectural and archaeological resources; and • The Landscape section contains an evaluation of landscape

resources.

Further details of natural and built heritage designations are contained in an appendix 1 and 2 of this document. The landscape resources of each District are contained in Appendix 3 of this document.

2.2 Natural Heritage

2.2.1 Biodiversity Following the recommendations of the Northern Ireland Biodiversity Group (NIBG), set up in 1996 to address development of strategies for biodiversity conservation, the Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy was published in 2002. This Strategy focuses on the importance of conserving biological diversity and conservation in the period up to 2016.

The Environment and Heritage Service (DOE) Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Plan 2002/2005 contains recommendations for the protection and restoration of habitats and species, and the first 12 Northern Ireland Habitat Action Plans were published in March 2003.

The Northern Area Plan area is particularly rich in natural heritage resources and contains important wildlife habitats. The Northern Area Plan area contains examples of 22 of the 40 listed Northern Ireland priority habitats. All of the habitats are of major importance based on individual habitat and species diversity and rarity. These habitats are as follows: • Upland mixed ashwoods; • Upland oakwood; • Wet woodland; • Lowland woodland pasture and parkland; • Lowland meadows; • Purple moor grass and rush pastures; • Upland calcareous grassland; • Lowland heathland; • Coastal and floodplain grazing marsh;

3


• Fens; • Reedbeds; • Lowland raised bog; • Eutrophic standing waters; • Mesotrophic lakes; • Crowfoot rivers; • Upland heathland; • Blanket bog; • Maritime cliff and slopes; • Coastal sand dunes; • Mud flats; • Coastal salt marsh; • Seagrass beds;

2.2.2 Northern Ireland Priority Habitats within the UK context

The principle of targets and action plans is firmly enshrined in the UK approach to biodiversity. In the Biodiversity Steering Group Report (May 1996), a classification into 37 habitat types was adopted to cover all the land surface of the country and surrounding seas. For each of these ‘broad habitats’, there is a statement to guide both local and national policy and action.

Within these broad habitats, 39 more narrowly defined ‘key habitats’ (subsequently retitled ‘priority habitats’) were singled out as requiring costed action plans. The criteria used to select these priority habitats included international obligations, rarity, high rates of decline, and critical roles in supporting mobile or key species. Examples of priority habitats are cereal field margins (within the arable broad habitat) and mesotrophic lakes (within the standing open water broad habitat).

37 of the UK priority habitats are found in Northern Ireland, with a few of them being very well represented, e.g. fens, horse mussel beds. For others, the Northern Ireland representatives are less important in overall UK terms as they comprise only a small proportion of the total resource. Nevertheless when viewed in a local context, their significance may be greater.

Priority Habitats in Northern Ireland

Maintaining both the spatial range and geographical variation of habitats is regarded as two of the fundamental aims of conservation. The relative importance of particular habitats thus depends among other things on their geographical setting. It follows that the conservation priorities for habitats in Northern Ireland are not necessarily the same as those applying to the UK as a whole. There will be habitats, which because of their status in Northern Ireland or in Ireland as a whole, merit particular attention, even though they are not priority habitats in the UK context. UK priority habitats are automatically selected as priority habitats in Northern Ireland. If they

4


are weakly represented here, they are threatened to the same extent in Northern Ireland as in the rest of the UK; if they are well represented here, then Northern Ireland has a major responsibility for the habitat from a UK or international perspective. To select additional priority habitats for Northern Ireland, three criteria have been adopted; any habitat satisfying at least one criterion qualifies as a priority habitat. These criteria are:

• Habitats at risk in either Northern Ireland or Ireland generally, because of either rarity or a high rate of decline,

• Habitats for which Northern Ireland has a large part of either the UK or Irish total (10% of UK; 50% of Irish),

• Habitats of particular importance for priority species.

Applying these criteria has led to three additional Northern Ireland priority habitats being identified, bringing the Northern Ireland total to 40. Marl lakes qualify because Northern Ireland has a high proportion of the UK resource. Crowfoot rivers are particularly important for priority species and montane heath is confined to mountain summits and has been declining.

These 40 priority habitats are crucially important, and among the most special features of biodiversity in Northern Ireland.

2.2.3 UK Priority Species

To select a list of priority species for the UK, the UK Steering Group chose five criteria based on rarity, decline in numbers or range, and uniqueness to the UK. A list was compiled of some 1,250 species satisfying at least one of these criteria. This list was narrowed down to about 400 priority species by confining it to those that were known to be either globally threatened or rapidly declining in the UK.

Priority Species in Northern Ireland

Although the proportion of UK priority species present in Northern Ireland is much smaller than that of UK priority habitats, it does not follow that species are consequently of less overall concern. There are at least two reasons why this is so:

• The presence of a species here contributes to the maintenance of its range;

• It may also play a part in maintaining its internal genetic diversity.

The latter reason applies most obviously to those species where the Irish populations are known to be genetically distinct from the British ones. A further reason is that for some species, Northern Ireland is a stronghold and thus represents an important bulwark against potential or actual threats.

5


To select species of conservation concern in Northern Ireland, a set of six criteria was drawn up; species should either:

• Be listed as priority species in the UK, • Be listed in an Irish Red Data Book or otherwise identified as of

conservation concern in Ireland as a whole, • Be scarce, rare, or declining in Northern Ireland, • Have a large proportion of their International, UK or Irish population

in Northern Ireland, • Be genetically distinct in Ireland (e.g. Irish sub-species), • Be functionally critical to ecosystems.

The list has been further narrowed down by selecting as priority species only those for which there was reliable evidence of vulnerability or decline. Included as appropriate evidence is that species:

• Are UK priority species, • Are listed as endangered in an Irish Red Data Book, • Are rapidly declining in Northern Ireland or Ireland, • Have more than 20% of their total UK population in Northern Ireland

and are rare or declining, • Have more than 50% of their Irish population in Northern Ireland

and are rare or declining.

The selection of Northern Ireland priority species should be seen as provisional and is to be reviewed as part of the proposed review of species of conservation study to be undertaken by the Northern Ireland Biodiversity Group.

2.2.4 Biodiversity within the Northern Area Plan

Priority Habitats The richness of biodiversity within the Plan area is a result of the wealth and variety of landscapes to be found in it. From a range of 40 Northern Ireland priority habitats, the Plan area contains example habitats of 22. These are listed in paragraph 2.2.1. Northern Ireland priority habitats and species are classified for recording purposes as being either, present, significantly present, of N.I. significance or of National significance. The plan area contains 127 sites were priority habitats range from present to nationally significant. There are 13 recorded sites where the particular habitat is of Northern Ireland significance. 14 recorded sites are of National significance for their respective habitats.

The most important Landscape Character Area (LCA) for priority habitats of NI significance is The Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island (ERM Report No 57).

It has 4 habitats recorded. These are: • Lowland heathland

6


• Coastal Sand dunes • Maritime cliffs and slopes • Sub littoral and littoral chalk sites

Elsewhere in the Plan Area, at a NI significance, the remaining Landscape Character Areas record at most 1 priority habitat - see Appendix Map 1.

The most important LCA for priority habitats of national significance in the Plan Area, is the Lower Bann Valley (ERM Report no 52). It has 4 and these are: • Coastal and floodplain grazing marsh • Fens • Lowland raised bog • Eutrophic standing waters

The second most important LCA is the Sperrin Mountains (29) with 2. Roe Valley Basin (37), Binevenagh (36), Cullybackey and Cloghmills Drumlins (59) and the Moyle Moorland and Forest (118) each have 1 priority habitat each. These are indicated on Appendix Map 1 and 2 of this document.

Priority Species

47 UK and Northern Ireland priority species occur within the Plan area, many are present in numbers of N.I and National significance. The most important LCA’s for priority species in the Plan area, using the combined total for both Northern Ireland and National significance, is the Coleraine Farmlands (54) and Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island (57) which both have 22. The Lower Bann Valley (52) has 19, the Moyle Moorlands (118) and the Moyle Glens (121) both have 17 and Fair Head (120) has 16 priority species. These are indicated on Appendix Map 2 of this document.

2.2.5 Main habitat types The Districts within the Northern Area Plan are rich in natural heritage resources. The Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy identifies a range of habitats across Northern Ireland. Those represented in the Plan Area and considered in the Environmental Assets Appraisal include:

• Woodlands including semi natural woodlands; • Grasslands including arable or cultivated lands; • Heathland and Bogs; • Wetlands; • Loughs and Rivers; • Coastal and Marine Habitats.

7


Woodlands Woodland dominated by oak and ash once covered most of the Plan area with hazel on more base-rich soils and alder, willow and birch on wetter ground. The main exceptions would have been wetter areas which have developed extensive lowland bogs, the upland blanket bog and rocky cliffs and summits. Today semi-natural woodlands are mostly restricted to steeper slopes and river valleys especially around the uplands to the west and east of the area. Most of these seminatural woodlands are small but they can be very diverse and include some of the most important examples of woodland in Northern Ireland such as Banagher Glen NNR and Breen NNR.

In most lowland areas only planted woodlands occur although some of these have significant local wildlife value. The majority of woodland in the area is planted coniferous forest in the uplands. Although this generally lacks many native woodland plants and animals it can provide important habitats for some bird species such as hen harrier.

Most of the small semi-natural woodlands have been designated (as Nature Reserves or ASSIs) or are proposed as SLNCI in this plan. However, woodland within the area has been much reduced and fragmented in the past and it is important that all areas which have a large or significant stands of native trees or characteristic woodland plant species are maintained.

Grassland and arable As in most of Northern Ireland improved grassland is the dominant land use in the lowland. Arable farmland is comparatively uncommon overall but significant in places. The biodiversity associated with farmland is generally limited. In some areas, particularly poorly drained-ground and around the upland margins, less improved grasslands are much richer in wildlife. Wet grassland can be rich in wildflowers and important for breeding waders such as snipe and curlew.

The upland margins sometimes contain extensive areas of speciespoor acid grassland but locally species-rich examples of acid, calcareous or neutral grassland occur particularly around the basalt scarp. This includes important sites such as at Binevenagh and Glenariff. General agricultural improvement and, for wet grassland, drainage has had a significant negative impact on grassland habitats in recent decades.

Heathland and Bogs The Plan area contains one the most extensive areas of lowland raised bogs in Northern Ireland along the Main and Bann rivers and across a large area of between the Lower Bann and Ballycastle. These have been extensively drained, cut-over and reclaimed but still contain a number of important sites such as Garry Bog ASSI and Dunloy Bog ASSI. The upland blanket bogs are the main upland habitat and include the Garron Plateau, Cushleake, Carn and Altikeeragh.

8


Heathland is less extensive but some important examples are found near the coast on Rathlin Island and Fair Head. Both blanket bog and upland heath have been heavily affected by high grazing levels.

Wetlands Wetlands are generally scarce in the area. Particular concentrations occur nearby loughs on Rathlin Island, Garron Plateau, Fair Head and the area around Kilrea.

Loughs and Rivers Loughs are not a common feature within the area although there are notable concentrations on Rathlin Island, Garron Plateau and Fair Head.

A number of important rivers occur including the Lower Bann, the Roe, the Bush and the Main. The Lower Bann is the largest river in Northern Ireland, has a wide range of associated habitats and is very important for migratory fish. The area also contains a number of fast-flowing rivers of high wildlife value which are rich with beds of water-crowfoot, associated riparian habitats and contain important salmon populations. The Roe is particularly significant for the latter but the Bush, Main and many smaller rivers are also important. In many cases significant stretches, particularly of the lower reaches of the rivers, are affected by past drainage works, eutrophication and pollution.

Coastal and Marine Habitats The Northern area has a long and varied coastline containing a number of internationally important habitats and species. The long stretches of rocky coastline include important examples of maritime cliff and slopes, most notably at the Giant’s Causeway and Rathlin Island. The latter also has one of the largest breeding seabird colonies in Europe. The sand dunes at Magilligan (SAC/ASSI) and Portstewart (Bann Estuary SAC/ASSI) are internationally important along with several other sites such Whitepark Bay (ASSI). Lough Foyle (ASSI) and the Bann Estuary are important examples of mudflats and sandflats while Lough Foyle is also of international importance for wintering waterfowl.

Marine habitats are well represented with examples of sheltered muddy gravels (Lough Foyle), sub-littoral and littoral chalk (most extensive occurrence in Ireland), Sabellaria spinulosa reefs (off Magilligan) and sub-littoral sands and gravels (off most of the exposed coast). The area around Rathlin Island with its steep submerged cliffs and caves and strong tidal stream is extremely rich in marine life and is of international importance.

2.2.6 Statutory Designations – Sites of International Importance

Ramsar Sites The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, requires Contracting Parties to designate suitable wetlands for inclusion in the Ramsar List. As a Contracting Party to the Convention, the UK is

9


required to designate wetlands in accordance with criteria agreed by these parties for inclusion in a list of “Wetlands of International Importance”. The delegate countries were concerned with wetland and waterfowl conservation and the objectives are to stem the progressive encroachment on and loss of wetlands, both now and in the future, and to encourage a wise use of wetlands. A wetland is defined as being an area of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural, or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt and including areas of intertidal marine water. 3 Ramsar sites have been designated within the Plan area at Garron Plateau, Lough Foyle and Garry Bog. ( See Appendix 1A)

Special Protection Areas (SPA) Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are designated under the European Commission Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds (79/409/EEC) (The Birds Directive). All European Community member States are required to identify internationally important areas for breeding, overwintering and migrating birds and designate them as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The United Kingdom practice is to protect these areas under domestic legislation before classifying them as SPAs. The Birds Directive is implemented in Northern Ireland through the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995. 3 SPAs are within the Plan area – Sheep Island, Rathlin Island and Lough Foyle. (See Appendix 1A)

Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) The EC Council Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and Wild Fauna and Flora (92/43/EEC) (The Habitats Directive) requires member states to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), to protect some of the most rare or seriously threatened habitats and species in a European context and take measures to maintain and restore them. The Directive identifies those habitats and species at greatest risk as priority habitats or species, and member States must provide for their declaration as SACs. The Habitats Directive is implemented in Northern Ireland through the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995. There are currently 11 candidate SACs within the Plan area, Garron Plateau, Magilligan, Rathlin Island, Garry Bog, Breen Wood, Carn / Glenshane Pass, Main Valley Bogs, North Antrim Coast, Banagher Glen, Binevenagh and the Bann Estuary. (See Appendix 1A)

Classified SPAs and candidate SACs together form the European wide network of sites known as Natura 2000.

2.2.7 Statutory Designations – Sites of National Importance

National Nature Reserves A nature reserve is defined as an area of importance for flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest, which are reserved and managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research. Environment and Heritage Service declares National

10


Nature Reserves under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. Sites of national and sometimes international importance are usually managed by the Department’s Environment and Heritage Service or by agreement with a voluntary conservation body. There are 3 National Nature Reserves within the Plan area. These are Giant’s Causeway NNR, Altikeeragh NNR, and Binevenagh NNR. (See Appendix 1B)

Nature Reserves The Environment and Heritage Service also declares Nature Reserves under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. These include additional sites particularly appropriate for educational, research or public information purposes. There are 9 Nature Reserves designated under this legislation within the Plan area at Breen Forest, Slievanorra, Banagher Glen, Roe Estuary, Ballymaclary, Magilligan Point, Glenariff Waterfalls Forest, Keeble, Portrush, Binevenagh. (See Appendix 1B)

Marine Nature Reserves The Department’s Environment and Heritage Service designate Marine Nature Reserves under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands Order 1985. Marine Nature Reserves are inter-tidal or sublittoral areas established for the conservation or study of marine flora, fauna and geological or physiographical features of special interest. There are no Marine Nature Reserves within the Plan area.

Areas of Special Scientific Interest. There are 38 Areas of Special Scientific Interest designated under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands Order 1985 within the Plan area either in whole or part, which are listed as follows. Areas of Special Scientific Interest are areas of land that have been identified by scientific survey as being of the highest degree of conservation value by reason of any of their flora, fauna and geological or physiographical features. They have a well-defined boundary and by and large remain in private ownership. The underlying philosophy is to achieve conservation by co-operation with landowners who receive a list of notifiable operations which the Department considers might harm the nature conservation interest of the site and may therefore require a management agreement.

Areas of Scientific Interest ASIs were declared under Section 15 of the Amenity Lands Act (NI) 1965, which was replaced by the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (NI) Order 1985. The Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (NI) Order 1985 provides that ASIs will be treated as ASSIs in many respects although landowners within ASIs do not have a list of notifiable operations and there is much less control over land use than in an ASSI.

Many of the original Areas of Scientific Interest have now been redesignated as or taken within Areas of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Areas or Special Areas of Conservation. There are 11 ASIs within the Plan area. They are Tievebulliagh ASI, The Skerries ASI, Loughaveema ASI, Carey River ASI, Glenariff Waterfalls ASI, Clontyfinnan ASI, Carrickhugh ASI, North Derry ASI, Movanagher ASI, North Antrim Coast ASI and Rathlin Island ASI. (See Appendix 1B)

12


Local Nature Reserves Local nature reserves can be designated by District Councils under Article 22 of the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (NI) Order 1985 or comprise non-statutory nature reserves managed by voluntary conservation bodies. Benone local nature reserve is the only local nature reserve in the Northern Plan Area and is located within the Limavady Borough. The Benone LNR is owned and managed by Limavady Borough Council and was declared in March 1992. Benone LNR is within Magilligan ASSI. (See Appendix 1C)

The RSPB manages two reserves within the plan area. They are the Rathlin Island Cliffs and the 3,300 acre Lough Foyle reserves. Both these areas are covered by other national and international designations.

The National Trust owns and cares for the following sites within the NAP: the Giant’s Causeway, Dunseverick Castle, White Park Bay, Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Cushendun, Layde, Cushleake Mountain, Rathlin Island (Manor House & Ballycongan), Portstewart Strand and Barmouth, Avish, Downhill / Mussenden Temple, Hezlett House, Rough Fort, Larrybane / Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The majority of these lands that have significance for nature conservation are already contained within national or international designations.

The Ulster Wildlife Trust manages three reserves within the Northern Area Plan. These are at the Umbra near Downhill, Creighton’s Wood near Kilrea and Glendun Hill Farm near Glendun.

Forest Service has designated 4 Forest Nature Reserves on its land within the plan area. These are not as significant as NNR’s in that they consist of habitats that are more common, but they are nonetheless a valuable resource for conservation and education. Garry Bog FNR is in Ballymoney Borough. Glenariff Lakes FNR and Slieveanorra Moor FNR are in Moyle District. Loughan Island FNR is in Coleraine Borough.

2.2.8 Statutory Designations - Sites of Local Nature Conservation Importance As part of the process of Countryside Assessment, the Department, through detailed scientific survey, identifies 209 proposed individual sites of local nature conservation importance, 4 of which overlap District boundaries within the Plan Area. These proposed sites are now formally identified through the Plan and are accompanied by a policy for the control of development affecting them – PPS 2 Planning and Nature Conservation; paragraph 60: Development Affecting Sites of Local Nature Conservation Importance Identified in Development Plans. The sites represent a range of habitat types with the most common being bogs grassland or woodland. Earth Science sites, open water, coastal sites and rivers are also represented. The sites are scattered across the Plan area. A list of SLNCI’s can be found in Appendix 1C.

13


Their distribution and abundance reveals the variety and wealth of biodiversity and habitat types to be found within the Northern Area Plan. At present the Plan contains the highest number of Earth Science and the second highest number of Biological SLNCI’s to be found within a Northern Ireland Plan area.

2.3 Built Heritage

2.3.1 Background The Northern Area districts have an established built heritage containing a considerable number of listed buildings, archaeological sites and monuments, conservation areas and historic parks and gardens. The built heritage forms an integrate part of our environment. Key policies for the control of development which affect these areas are provided within PPS6: Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage.

2.3.2 World Heritage Sites The World Heritage Convention, adopted by UNESCO in 1972, was ratified by the United Kingdom in 1984. It provides the identification, protection, conservation and presentation of cultural and natural sites of outstanding universal value and established a World Heritage List under the management of inter-governmental World Heritage Committee. Individual governments are responsible for nomination of sites and their subsequent protection and monitoring if selected. The official UNESCO title for the site is ‘The Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast’ but it is commonly referred to as ‘The Giant’s Causeway’. The Giant’s Causeway is Northern Irelands only World Heritage Site and was added to the World Heritage List in 1986. It managed by the National Trust.

2.3.3 Archaeological Sites and Monuments State Care Sites Archaeological sites and monuments are taken into the care of the department under the Historic Monuments and Archaeological Objects (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. State care sites and monuments represent all periods of human settlement in Ireland from 8000 BC to the 20th century. They are protected and managed as a public asset by the department’s Environment and heritage service. All are presented for public access, education and enjoyment. Some sites have staffed visitor facilities and may have entrance charges. There are 26 state care sites within the plan area. 8 within Moyle, 10 within Coleraine, 5 within Limavady and 3 within Ballymoney.

Scheduled Monuments The Historic Monuments and Archaeological Objects (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 provides protection for archaeological sites and monuments. There are 210 scheduled monuments within the northern plan area. The 210 sites are distributed over the four districts. 77 within Moyle, 42 within Limavady, 51 within Coleraine and 40 within Ballymoney. (See Appendix 2A)

14


Unscheduled Monuments There are 2458 other recorded archaeological sites and monuments within the Northern Plan Area. The Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record is held and updated by the environment and heritage service and is available to the public.

2.3.4 Listed Buildings Article 42 of the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 requires the department to compile a list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest, important for their value and contribution to the character and quality of settlements and the countryside. The process of listing and reviewing is constantly ongoing. On 13th November 2003, there were approximately 879 listed buildings / structures within the Northern Plan Area. The distribution of this figure is shown as; 345 within Moyle, 84 within Ballymoney, 309 within Coleraine, and 141 within Limavady. Built Heritage section of the Environment and Heritage Service should be contacted for more detailed and up to date information. (See Appendix 2B for list completed on 13 November 2003)

2.3.5 Conservation Areas The Planning (NI) Order 1991 (Article 50) provides the Department with the power to designate an area of special architectural or historic interest as a Conservation Area. Within the Northern Area there are 5 Conservation Areas, Ballymoney, Bushmills, Cushendall, Cushendun and Ballycastle.The boundaries of the Conservation Areas are shown in the the respective Town Maps. (Ballymoney 2/01b, Ballycastle 5/01b, Bushmills 5/03, Cushendall 5/03, Cushendun 5/11) Individual townscape and design advice is given in the relevant designation booklets.

2.3.6 Areas of Townscape or Village Character Areas of Townscape and Areas of Village Character are designated by the Department through the development plans with accompanying local policies for the control of development within these areas. As part of the research for this Plan, Planning Service carried out a series of Towncape and Village Appraisals in order to assess the potential for any new areas of townscape or village character. These appraisals are contained within Technical Supplement 5 Urban Environment. As a result, ATC’s or AVC’c are designated in three districts in the Plan Areas, Limavady, Coleraine and Ballymoney. There are a total of 4 ATCs and AVC’s proposed in the Northern Area Plan 2016.

• 1 ATC in Limavady Town Centre. • 1 ATC in Portrush, Coleraine Borough. • 1 ATC in Coleraine Town Centre, Coleraine. • 1 AVC in Armoy, Ballymoney Borough.

Policy for the control of development in ATC’s and AVC’s is contained in Part 2 of Volume 1 of the Plan.

15


2.3.7 Areas of Archaeological Potential PPS 6 indicates that where it is likely that archaeological remains will be encountered in the course of continuing development and change, such areas will be highlighted in development plans. These areas are referred to as Areas of Archaeological Potential and are identified in the Plan. They indicate to developers those areas, that on the basis of current knowledge, it is likely that archaeological remains will be encountered in the course of future development or change. Planning Policy for the control of development is contained in PPS 6.

There are 20 Areas of Archaeological Potential in the Plan Area, and these are as follows:

• Ballycastle • Ballintoy • Ballykelly • Ballymoney • Bushmills • Cloghmills • Coleraine • Cushendall • Dervock • Drumsurn • Dungiven • Feeny • Garvagh • Kilrea • Limavady • Lisnagunogue • Macosquin • Portrush • Portstewart • Waterfoot

The boundaries of each Area of Archaeological Potential are shown on the associated Town and Village Maps contained in Volume 2, Parts 47.

2.3.8 Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes The Environment and Heritage Service (DOE) has prepared a register of parks, gardens and demesnes of special historic interest in Northern Ireland. There are currently 22 registered historic parks, gardens and demesnes within the plan area and 10 supplementary entries. There are 4 registered historic parks, gardens and demesnes within Limavady, 4 within Coleraine, 4 within Ballymoney and 8 within Moyle and these are as follows:

16


• Anderson Park • Ballydivity • Ballyhibistock House • Ballylough House • Beardiville • Bellarena • Benvarden House • Bovagh House • Downhill • Drenagh • Dundarave • Guy Wilson Daffodil Garden • Knockan and Ash Park • Knocktarna • Leslie Hill • Lisanoure House • Lizard Manor • Magherintemple • Moore Lodge • O’Hara Brook • The Manor House, Rathlin • Walworth

Appendix 2C indicates the above register of Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes and a supplementary list for all four districts. The boundaries of each Historic Park, Garden and Demesne are shown on individual Maps contained in Volume 2, Parts 4-7 of the Plan.

2.3.9 Industrial Heritage The Plan Area contains a wealth of remains of industrial heritage, all of which are reminders of economic development of the area. The Environment and Heritage Service record and update data containing industrial heritage. Industrial heritage sites would include former mills, factories, bridges and railway fixtures. This Plan area is also particularly rich in rural industrial heritage sites, including the Roe Valley Country Park area in Limavady. The Industrial Heritage Record is included in the Department’s Monument’s and Buildings Record (MBR), and this map based archive can be accessed by the public through Built Heritage, (Environment and Heritage Service) 5-33 Hill Street, Belfast BT1 2LA.

2.4 Landscape and Public Access to the Countryside

2.4.1 Background The Plan Area contains a wide variety of Northern Ireland’s special landscapes. A wide range of facilities are provided within these areas as well as various walks that allow the public to gain access to the countryside, and enjoy the different landscapes within the Northern

17


Area Plan area. Out of a total of nine Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Northern Ireland, the Northern Area Plan includes two in their entirety; North Derry AONB and the Causeway Coast AONB, and part of two others, the Antrim Coast and Glens AONB and the north eastern corner of the Sperrin AONB.

2.4.2 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are those areas, which have been recognised as being of distinctive character and special scenic value and embrace a wide variety of landscape types. The Department’s Environment and Heritage Service is responsible for designation but the task of management falls to a wide range of public bodies, community groups and voluntary bodies as well as individual landowners. The primary aim of AONB designation is conservation but AONBs play a very beneficial role in promoting outdoor recreation and enjoyment of the countryside.

The Causeway Coast AONB The Causeway Coast, particularly the Giant’s Causeway itself, must be the Province’s most renowned area internationally and boasts the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. The Causeway Coast was designated in 1989 and covers 4200 ha. It is a place of extraordinary beauty encompassing 18 miles of spectacular coastal scenery of dramatic cliffs and headlands broken by the wide sweep of fresh sandy beaches backed by dunes. Dark volcanic rocks and brilliant white chalk, eroded by the vigorous North Atlantic, form magnificent geological features including the renowned Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-rede.

This natural beauty is made all the more impressive by the small harbours, fisheries and farms delicately poised on the storm-torn coastline. A rich and fascinating wildlife thrives on the offshore islands and rocks, amid the cliffs and sand dunes, and within the farmed countryside.

Above the sea, in abrupt contrast, the land is intensively farmed up to the very cliff top. The few trees which survive the battering by salt winds are huddled in sheltered hollows. Buildings are prominent in this open landscape with good examples of clachans – groups of single storey houses - and isolated nineteenth century farmhouses surrounded by barns and outbuildings.

The North Derry AONB The North Derry AONB was designated in 1966 and covers 12950 ha The Sperrins end in the north with a zone of cliffs overlooking the north Atlantic, serving as a final reminder of the area's turbulent volcanic past. The severe skyline of the cliffs at Binevenagh make a breathtaking contrast with the outstanding expanse of Magilligan Strand. This is one of the finest beaches in the Province and stretches for 8 km, from Downhill to the narrows of Lough Foyle. The steep, round-topped grassland hills and the sandy shoreline are the dominant

18


features, separated from the rocky shore of Donegal by just one kilometre of sea.

The Antrim Coast and Glens AONB The Plan area contains a significant portion of the Antrim Coast & Glens AONB. The coastline of County Antrim from Ballycastle to Larne and the world famous Glens of Antrim contain some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in Northern Ireland.

Designated in 1988, the AONB covers 70600 ha. The area is dominated by a high undulating plateau cut by deep glens, which open north and eastwards to the sea. It is an area of contrasts: gentle bays are separated by blunt headlands; exposed moorland gives way to sheltered valleys; wide open expanses to enclosed farmland.

Slemish Mountain rises abruptly, its wildness in sharp contrast to the neat fields of the Braid Valley below. Rathlin Island, lying offshore to the north, is rich in historical, geological and botanical interest.

The Sperrin AONB Within the Plan area, the Sperrin AONB covers a substantial area to the south within Limavady Borough and the extreme southwest tip of Coleraine Borough. Lying in the heart of Northern Ireland the Sperrin AONB encompasses a largely mountainous area of great geological complexity. Designated in 1968, it covers 101006 ha and stretches from the Strule Valley in the west to the perimeter of the Lough Neagh lowlands in the east. This area presents vast expanses of moorland penetrated by narrow glens and deep valleys. In its south the Burren area is noted for its lakes, sandy eskers and other glacial features. The area is rich in historic and archaeological heritage and folklore.

2.4.3 Earth Science Interests and Assets The term earth science is taken to include both geology and geomorphology, and as the rocks and landforms of Northern Ireland form the surface on which life has developed, they have a major influence in determining the biodiversity of regions and, more directly, the physical character of the landscape.

Locations with geological/earth science interest or assets within the Plan Area include:

• Ballymoney Borough – a designated Lignite Resource Area is located within Ballymoney Borough. Lignite remains Northern Irelands only indigenous source of fuel. The Borough also contains two proposed Areas of Constraint on Mineral Development; the Glarryford Deglacial Complex and the Armoy Moraine pACMD.

• Coleraine Borough – Agivey Bridge, Portrush / Portstewart Cliffs. • Limavady Borough – Ballykelly Moraine, the Dogleap, Fruitfield

delta’s and Tircreven Burn. • Moyle District – The Giants Causeway World Heritage Site is the

single most important geological site within Northern Ireland. It is an

19


outstanding example representing major stages of earth’s history. Other earth science sites within this District are Ballycastle/Ballintoy Coast, Carey Valley, Church Bay and Glenshesk Valley.

The above examples, together with others, are listed in Appendix 1C of the Countryside Assessment, as part of the proposed Sites of local Nature Conservation Importance (SLNCIs) or as Areas of Constraint on Mineral Development.

2.4.4 Public Access – Site Based Facilities Limavady Borough There is one country park within the Borough. Roe Valley Country Park is located just south of Limavady town and runs for approximately 3 miles along both banks of the River Roe to the Carrick Rocks. The park also has a number of industrial relics relating to hydroelectric power and the linen industry. The Dogleap Centre explains the story of the park and much of the natural history and the Green Lane Museum contains many items relating to rural life. The park is managed by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Benone Strand is a multi use recreational site that can cater for a diverse range of activities. Details on permitted activities can be obtained from Council.

The public has full access to the following Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Forest Service sites within the Limavady Borough – Ballykelly Forest, Banagher Dam, Glen and Forest, Benevenagh Forest, Glenshane Forest, Gortnamoyagh Forest, Loughermore Forest. Permits are required for certain recreational activities on Forest Service lands. For full details contact www.forestserviceni.gov.uk Altahullion Wind Farm, the largest wind farm in Ireland, is located south west of Limavady. The site has 20 turbines and is accessible to the public on foot via the car park at Bovevagh Rd.

Angling, sea angling, orienteering, bird watching, gliding, hang gliding and para gliding facilities are all available for enthusiasts at sites across the Borough. Further information on the above activities can be obtained from the Recreation / Tourist Department of Limavady Borough Council.

Coleraine Borough Portrush Countryside Centre contains features of marine and geological interest. This educational facility, run by the Environment and Heritage Service provides information about the surrounding marine life.

Christie Park and Somerset Riverside Park, on the west bank of the Bann in Coleraine, provide a continuous riverside walk of approximately 4km, linking the urban centre to the Cutts weir and Somerset Forest.

20


The main Forest Service properties within Coleraine Borough which are freely accessible to the public are – Bann Woods, Cam Forest, Castleroe Wood, Downhill Forest, Garvagh Forest, Gortnamoyagh Forest, Grange Park Wood, Heagles Wood, Mountsandel Wood, Movanagher Wood, Somerset Forest, Springwell Forest, Knockantern Wood, Colebreene Wood, Loughan Island, Coole Glebe and Gills Upper and Lower.

Ballinrees Reservoir is the main Water Service property in the Borough which permits public access.

Ballymoney Borough Riverside Park is the largest Council owned and maintained public access facility in the Borough. It comprises 30 acres of open parkland and woodland dissected by the Ballymoney River.

Drumaheglis Marina and Caravan Park provides access to the Lower River Bann for water-based recreation and for touring caravan and camping accomodation.

Within Ballymoney Borough, the Forest Service has significant holdings at Craigs Wood, Garry Wood and Slieveanorra Forest. All are freely accessible to the public on foot.

There is limited access to the Water Service site at Altnahinch Dam and at the DARD owned Movanagher Canal and Fish Farm.

Moyle District Moyle includes the internationally famous and popular Giants Causeway, the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland.

Glenariff Forest Park is the only Forest Park within the NAP. This Forest Service facility is situated amid the world famous Glens of Antrim and covers an area of 1185ha of which 900ha have been planted. It has many recreational and camping facilities including a restaurant, visitors centre and craft shop. Forest Service sites with public access are also available at Ballycastle, Ballypatrick, Breen Wood, Clare Woods and Slieveanora.

2.4.5 Public access – access to the open countryside

Limavady Borough No public rights of way have been asserted. 30 alleged or claimed public rights of way are currently being actively investigated. Council has entered into a permissive path agreement to create a riverside walk along the Roe at Burnfoot.

Walkers are well catered for in Limavady Borough. The diverse landscape offers everything from a gentle walk along Benone Strand or

21


Roe Valley Country Park to more demanding walks on Benevenagh, Banagher Glen or further into the Sperrins.

The Ulster Way winds its way through the north and east of the Borough for around 75 kilometres. The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland has produced two sets of route cards – ‘Walk the Sperrins’, which includes a walk at Banagher, and ‘Walk the Bann and Roe Valleys’ which features a number of other walks in the area. The Sperrins Hill Walking Festival takes place in August and the Feeny Spirit of the Mountain Festival at the beginning of October.

Route 93 of the National Cycle Network passes extensively through the Borough. This network offers routes along primarily quiet country roads. Other cycling routes in the area are currently under development. A 6km off road way marked cycling route has been developed from Ballycarton Wood through Binevenagh Forest. This route has been designed for informal cycling, particularly for family groups. Pony trekking routes are also available.

Coleraine Borough Under the Access to the Countryside (NI) Order 1983, Coleraine Borough Council has asserted 9 public rights of way and is investigating the status of a further 8 alleged public rights of way. Council has recently entered into agreements to create 2 waymarked hillwalking routes in the Sperrins.

The Borough possess quality walking routes ranging from coastal routes such as the scenic Port Path and Causeway Coast Way to inland routes such as the Ulster Way and Glenullin Waymarked Trails.

The 22 mile cycle route along the North Atlantic Coast from the Giant’s Causeway via Coleraine to Castlerock forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 93. This is one of the most spectacular sections of NCN route in Northern Ireland, if not in Britain. A 12 mile cycling loop is based in Garvagh. This route is not yet signed. A leaflet ‘Cycling in the Borough of Coleraine’ is available.

There is one asserted bridleway within Coleraine Borough. Old Coach Road bridleway in Portstewart is approximately 1.6 km in length. Horse riding, with time restrictions, is permitted on Borough beaches. Way marked horse and pony trails, requiring Forest Service annual or daily tickets, have been established at Cam and Springwell Forests.

Ballymoney Borough The Metal Bridge Walk in Stranocum is the only recognised and signposted public right of way in the Borough. It is a 3 mile circular route. The ‘Highway to Health’ walking route passes through the Riverside Park in Ballymoney. A 1 km shared use path (pedestrians / cyclists) allows access to local schools and forms the basis of a ‘safe routes to school’ network in the south of the town.

22


Ballymoney Borough Council has developed 2 way marked hill walking routes within the Antrim Coasts and Glens AONB. The Miliburn Walk is 3 miles in length and the Breen Walk is approximately 6 miles. The 2.5 km ‘Roon the Toon’ historical walk comprises a self guided trail and historical tour of buildings of interest within Ballymoney town.

In addition to the shared use path scheme in the Riverside Park, Council are also working in partnership with Sustrans on the development of NCN Route 96 – The Lower Bann Cycleway – connecting Lough Neagh Cycleway and Coleraine via Ballymoney.

Moyle District Moyle District has asserted one public right of way with the landowners agreement. The Causeway Coast Path extends 30km along the North Antrim Coast from Portrush to Ballycastle. This is an on/off road walk with the Moyle section running from Portballintrae to Ballycastle. The entire path lies within the Causeway Coast AONB and a section is within the World Heritage Site.

The Moyle Way is a 30 km linear walk from Ballycastle to Glenariff which has been established by agreements between Moyle District Council and the landowners. The Antrim section of the Ulster Way is approximately 40 km in length. The Moyle section from Layd Church, Cushendall to Ballycastle is proposed but has not been formally agreed. Short circular walks are promoted by the National Trust at the Giants Causeway and on Rathlin Island.

The 22 mile NCN Route 93 takes cyclists along the North Atlantic Coast. Within Moyle District the route runs from Bushmills to Ballycastle.

Horse riding is possible with a permit in most of the Forest Service sites within the Moyle District.

3.0 Landscape Assessment

3.1 Background The Northern Area Plan has an extremely rich diversity of landscape, the result of many millions of years of geological forces, glaciation and more recently, human activity. The landforms range from dramatic and internationally important coastal cliffs, steep sided glens, mountains and foothills, extensive areas of upland plateau, productive farmlands, to sea-level alluvial plains and lowlands. On a local scale, woodlands, wetlands, river corridors, grasslands and bogs add to the scenic beauty, diversity and wildlife interest.

The overview of the types of landscape in the Northern Area Plan is based on the Landscape Character Assessment published by the Environment and Heritage Service. In addition to identifying the key characteristics of each landscape character area, the report also assesses the principal forces for change and issues influencing landscape condition and sensitivity.

The landscape assessment also appraises smaller scale landscapes that are particularly important in a local context, and which may be subject to development pressure because of their location either within or close to population centres. This information is combined with the Environmental Assets Appraisal to identify to identify Local Landscape Policy Areas.

3.2 Landscape Character Areas (Information on LCA’s can be found at www.ehsni.gov.uk/natural/country/country_landscapes.shmtl)

Landscape character areas identify our existing natural landscape. The Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment 2000, separated the countryside into 130 landscape character areas. The separate LCA’s identified aspects such as; geology, ecological features, landform and landuse. Each LCA has a detailed description of these assets, and of where they can be located. The LCA Report indicates for each area, the principal forces for change and the key issues influencing landscape sensitivity. It also suggests specific landscape guidelines for each area based either around landscape management or establishing principles for accommodating development. Natural Heritage section of Environmental and Heritage Service should be contacted for more detailed information. The information contained in each section is used as a way of identifying and protecting these areas, so that our natural environment can be sustained and enhanced. The Northern Area contains twenty-three Landscape Character Areas, some of which are shared with neighbouring districts.

The Landscape Character Assessment confirms that most landscapes within the plan area are in relatively sound order, though a number are beginning to suffer some loss of character. Landscapes also vary in their relative merit and sensitivity to change. In some instances, local landscapes have been degraded and require restoration. A brief outline

24


of the 23 Landscape Character Areas is set out below. Full details can be found in the published LCA report. Refer to Appendix Map 4 and Appendix 3A of this document indicating LCA’s in the Northern Area Plan area.

Sperrin Mountain (Landscape Character Area number: 29) Only the north east portion of this LCA is within the plan area. The Sperrin Mountains form a spine across the North West and a backdrop to views. This open mountain landscape is extremely sensitive to change since even relatively small elements in the landscape are visible over long distances. The most significant pressures for change are from conifer plantations, mineral extraction and windfarms on the upper slopes, and built development on the valley slopes.

Sperrin Foothills (30) Only the extreme eastern tip of this LCA is within the plan area. The quality of this landscape varies. The deeply undulating, varied landform and relatively dense tree cover have helped to accommodate much of the recent development but in places it is visually intrusive and there is little capacity for more.

Lough Foyle Alluvial Plain (33) Only the eastern strip of this LCA, which stretches along the shores of Lough Foyle to the mouth of the River Roe, is within the plan area. The area is extremely accessible and has been under considerable pressure for industrial and residential development. The coastal plain in particular is under intense pressure for built development and is visually sensitive as it is overlooked from the coastal road. At present, this does not extend right along the coast and it will be important to conserve the remaining area of tranquillity to the west of Limavady.

Loughermore Hills (34) Only the eastern portion of this LCA is within the plan area. This is a relatively homogenous landscape, within a simple, large scale pattern of moorland, bog and the conifer plantations on the upper slopes. Much of the landscape is inaccessible and the most important pressure for change is from conifer plantations. Many have hard, angular edges, which can be a distracting, negative visual influence. The open character and scale of the summits makes them sensitive to change. Any form of built development is likely to be visible from the surrounding lowland areas.

Magilligan Lowlands (35) This is a unique landscape in Northern Ireland. It has an engineered, artificial character, with open fields, ditches and roads forming an abstract pattern of straight lines and right angles. The few hedgerows are unmanaged and in poor condition. Panoramic views, from viewpoints along the basalt escarpment to the east, ensure that the landscape is highly sensitive to change.

25


Binevenagh (36) The most significant pressure on this upland moorland is from conifer plantations. The distinctive slope profiles of the escarpment summits are landmarks for miles around and any development or conifer planting in these areas would detract from their scenic quality. The open upland plateau is also an extremely sensitive landscape where any built development would represent an intrusion.

Roe Basin (37) The landscape varies in condition, depending on the quality of the soils and the prosperity of the farms. Sand and gravel quarries are a significant pressure in areas with ridges of glacial moraine towards the outer margins of the vale. The basin as a whole is overlooked by views from the surrounding uplands and the landscape pattern is therefore sensitive to change.

Eastern Binevenagh Slopes (38) This character area is the sloping basalt plateau to the east of Binevenagh. The landscape is generally in poor condition, with incomplete field boundaries and many areas of partially derelict pasture. The area is under pressure for built development. Many examples of new built development have had a detrimental influence, aligned along roads, rather than following the characteristic clustered, scattered settlement pattern.

Glenshane Slopes (39) Only a small western portion of this LCA is within the plan area. This open moorland landscape is extremely sensitive to change since even relatively small elements in the landscape are visible over long distances. Any buildings or infrastructure on the upper slopes would be extremely visually intrusive and would threaten its intrinsic qualities of wild remoteness and isolation. Conifer plantations represent one of the most significant pressures for change.

Garvagh Farmland (51) The northern half of this LCA is within the plan area. The area is dominated by rounded drumlins. Farmland on the drumlins is generally in good condition, although many hedgerows are not maintained. Few of the numerous small woodlands are actively managed and may be in decline. The area is generally under pressure for new built development, particularly close to Garvagh.

Lower Bann Valley (52) Only the northern tip of this LCA is within the plan area. The land is relatively low-lying, with a transition from shallow drumlins on the edges of the floodplains, to extensive flat pastures, bog and wet woodlands. Traditionally, larger properties and villages were sited on higher land, with cottages dispersed in a linear pattern along the embanked floodplain roads. In recent years, this pattern has become increasingly overwhelmed by ribbon development.

26


Lower Bann Floodplain (53) The condition of the landscape varies. There is much evidence of hedgerow removal in areas with good quality farmland. The floodplain is a relatively sensitive landscape, rich in wetland habitats. The immediate margins of the river channels are particularly sensitive for their nature conservation value, and the rivers are important visual features in the landscape.

Coleraine Farmlands (54) The coastline and the Bann estuary are particularly sensitive and the sand dune landscapes at the mouth of the Bann are designated as SPA and ASSI, as they are of particular importance for birds. Exposed caravan parks and recent housing developments are often intrusive, particularly where they are sited on local skylines. There are long, sweeping views to the Causeway Coast from the lowlands to the east of Coleraine and the farmland in these areas is particularly vulnerable to the impact of rural development.

Garry Bog (55) The landscape comprises contrasting elements. The remaining raised bog and willow carr of Garry Bog is in good condition, but would be sensitive to drainage or change to forestry or farmland. The flat open nature of the surrounding farmland has a somewhat degraded feel owing to the presence of wire fences which are in poor condition. There are few existing settlements, creating a rural, open character which would be sensitive to development.

Dervock Farmlands (56) Farmland is generally in good condition. Hedgerows are well clipped but in places are being replaced with wire fences or are becoming thin due to harsh trimming. The area is quite sensitive to change due to the long views which are available across the landscape. However its already varied land use and the presence of vegetation means that change could be accommodated within the more enclosed areas.

Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island (57) The Causeway Coast is designated as an AONB reflecting its nationally important landscape status and pristine condition. It is world famous for its spectacular and pristine coastal scenery of dramatic cliffs and sandy bays. The wild, open character of the coast would benefit from minimal intervention or disturbance in order to conserve the dramatic undisturbed character and long coastal views. Rathlin Island is also part of the Antrim Coast and Glens AONB.

On the high basalt plateau, the prominence of wires and poles on skylines, the poor repair of walls and banks, and the presence of derelict stone buildings gives the landscape a slightly degraded appearance. This small-scale farmed area would accommodate sensitive development in the form of cottage repair and conversion, provided that it is carefully designed.

27


Long Mountain Ridge (58) Only the northern tip of this LCA is within the plan area. This landscape is intensively used as an agricultural resource, for housing and for roads. Proliferation of housing could threaten landscape character. Conservation of the moorland is paramount to local landscape character on the upland ridge top. Peat cutting, windfarms, pylons and telecommunication masts are pressures for change in this moorland area. The estate woodlands on the eastern slopes of the ridge are particularly prominent and are relatively sensitive to change.

Cullybackey & Clogh Mills Drumlins (59) Only the northern tip of this LCA is within the plan area. This landscape is able to accommodate a degree of change owing to its undulating landform and tree cover which reduces opportunities for long views. However, the area’s distinctive character is vulnerable to activities which may disguise this asset such as quarrying, large scale development, road straightening or excessive housing in the countryside.

Moyle Moorland & Forest (118) All apart from the south western tip is within the plan area. The scenic quality of the landscape is reflected by its designation as part of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape is highly sensitive to change due to its open exposed character and the fragile upland ecosystem which prevails. Commercial forestry and peat cutting have eroded the otherwise pristine landscape. Further drainage of peat bogs for forestry and changes in grazing would cause notable damage to moorland vegetation. The open skylines are extremely visible and very sensitive to change.

Ballycastle Glens (119) The high quality of the landscape is reflected by its status as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Steep slopes, long views and attractive wooded river corridors with low lying wetland areas of sedge and alder make the area very vulnerable to change. New farm buildings are prominent elements in this landscape, and do not integrate well with the traditional small-scale farms. On upper slopes, drystone walls are in a poor state of repair. Some forestry plantations have very harsh straight edges which fit poorly with the character of the landscape.

Fair Head (120) The coastal fringe is in natural pristine condition, with its attractive combination of cliffs of varying geological strata, native woodlands, flowery pastures, headlands and secluded bays. It would be very sensitive to change of any sort. The plateau above the cliffs is more degraded with exposed pastures, broken walls and derelict stone farms. Again the area would be sensitive to change owing to its open, exposed character, and the large number of historic features present.

28


Moyle Glens (121) The entire landscape of the Glens is extremely sensitive to change and their scenic quality is recognised in their designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The steep upper slopes have a wild, remote character and any form of landscape change would be prominent against the backdrop of the high, open moorlands. At lower elevations, the landscape structure is more robust, although the long open seaward views would result in any significant change being highly visible. The landscape is generally in excellent condition, although stone wall boundaries are suffering degradation. Towards the coast, some new development occupies insensitive sites and lacks continuity with traditional design. Caravan sites are often prominent.

Garron Plateau (122) Only the north eastern section of this LCA is within the plan area. The condition of this landscape, which falls within the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, contributes to its scenic value. Open moorland is grazed to sustain a diverse vegetation structure and the presence of peat bog is a valuable asset to the habitat of this area. The most sensitive peatland habitats have been designated as ASSI. The variety of upland habitats is sensitive to largescale changes in land use, such as commercial forestry. The open and elevated nature of the landform, which allows long views and exposed skylines, renders it sensitive to any vertical infrastructure, which would be highly visible.

3.3 The Coast The Plan area contains what is arguably one of the world’s most scenic coastlines. Coleraine, Limavady and Moyle Council Areas share over 130 kilometres of uniquely distinctive coastline. These incredibly varied coastal sections complement and contrast, each forming the setting for another.

The Plan area coastline sweeps from Greysteel in Limavady Borough to Garron Point in Moyle District and in doing so passes through 9 Landscape Character Areas as defined in the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment 2000. The key characteristics relevant to the coastal settings of these Landscape Character Areas are as follows:

Lough Foyle Alluvial Plain • Flat, alluvial plain backed by a low bench of more resistant rocks. • Parts of the coastal plain are reclaimed land, drained by straight

drainage channels and enclosed by coastal embankments.

Magilligan Lowlands • Completely flat alluvial plain, dominated by the Binevenagh cliffs. • Rugged sand dunes shelter Magilligan Strand. • Homogenous landscape of rectangular fields subdivided by a grid of

drainage ditches.

29


Binevenagh • Sloping upland basalt plateau ending at a dramatic, cliff–like

escarpment. • Escarpment summits have a distinctive profile and form a sequence

of local landmarks.

Eastern Binevenagh Slopes • Low rolling plateau, falling gradually eastwards from the basalt

uplands towards the River Bann.

Coleraine Farmland • Dramatic rocky coastline with indented broken cliffs of basalt to

north of Coleraine. • Rugged sand dune ridges create a distinctive wild landscape at the

mouth of the Bann. • Long strands with open coastal views to the Causeway Coast and

the Bann Estuary.

Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island • High plateau landscape with a distinctive rugged coast, stepped

profile and rocky knolls. This section of coastline contains the unique geological formation of Northern Ireland’s only World Heritage Site – The Giants Causeway.

• The coastline of Rathlin Island is typified by spectacular high basalt cliffs.

• Long views are available from elevated areas across the coast.

Ballycastle Glens • Coastal town of Ballycastle occupies the mouth of the glens, within

a sheltered bay.

Fair Head • Dramatic cliffs with igneous intrusions give rise to prominent

headlands and sheltered bays such as Murlough Bay. • The coastal road winds precariously along the cliff edge with

dramatic seaward views.

The Moyle Glens • Sweeping u-shaped profiles with dramatic basalt cliffs. • Extremely scenic and distinctive valleys, with long coastal views.

Landscape Character within the Causeway Coast Area of Outstanding National AONB. The EHS Causeway Coast AONB Summary Management Plan, published in April 2003 further identified six local Landscape Character Areas (LCA’s) within the AONB.

Whereas the Landscape Character Assessment undertaken for the whole of Northern Ireland is broad and is useful at a regional level, it

30


does not however demonstrate the variety of local character within the AONB. Consequently it does not enable the identification of more specific management objectives and the protection of local distinctiveness which is the concern to the Management Plan.

The six LCA’s and their key characteristics specific to the Causeway Coast AONB are:

The Skerries Coast • Located at the western end of the AONB • Complex and distinctive coastline, including beach, sand dunes,

contrasting black and white cliffs (due to the combination of basalt and chalk geology), arches, stacks and other formations.

Bush Valley • Located towards the west of the AONB • Varied coastal character, including the distinctive rounded bay of

Portballintrae, Bushfoot Strand Beach, sand dunes and cliffs.

The Causeway Plateau • Located in the middle of the Causeway Coast AONB and contains

the World Heritage Site. • The famous basaltic columns of the Giant’s Causeway. • Distinctive crenulated coastline, with numerous small rocky bays

and small islands. • An elevated and open plateau, rising gently up to the coast , with

dramatic cliffs plunging down to sea level.

The Magpie Coast • Located to the east of the Causeway plateau • Contrasting black basalt and white chalk rock formations along the

coast • Broad sandy beaches, including White Park Bay • Sheep Island dominates views out to sea, with Rathlin Island in the

distance.

The Kinbane Plateau • Located towards the eastern end of the AONB • High, steep basalt cliffs with no beaches. • Very limited access to coast • Views to Rathlin Island across Rathlin Sound.

The Ballycastle Valley • The underlying geology of limestone gives rise to white cliffs at the

coast. • Coastline is gently crenulated, with several small bays and a wave

cut platform. • Caves are a common feature in the cliffs.

31


• Views out to sea are dominated by Rathlin Island and Fair Head, with distant views to the Scottish Islands and Campbelltown Peninsular on clear days.

3.4 Local Landscape Policy Areas With an increased emphasis on the quality of new development and greater environmental awareness care must be taken to ensure that new development does not dominate the townscape/landscape characteristics of settlements. Environmental assets, identified as part of the process of Countryside Assessment, will normally form the basis for the designation of local landscape policy areas. These consist of those features and areas within and adjoining settlements considered to be of greatest amenity value, landscape quality or local significance and therefore worthy of protection from undesirable or damaging development. They may include:

• Archaeological sites and monuments and their surroundings; • Listed and other locally important buildings and their surroundings; • River banks and shore lines and associated public access; • Attractive vistas, localised hills and other areas of local amenity

importance; • Areas of local nature conservation interest, including areas of

woodland and important tree groups

This initial sieve was supplemented by site visits involving representatives from the Department’s Planning Service and Construction Service. This allowed refinement of the areas originally identified and the exploration of additional areas as necessary.

LLPAs will help to ensure that new development does not dominate a settlement’s distinctive landscape and townscape characteristics. They may also function as buffer zones between different uses and help to reduce the likelihood of over intensive development. LLPAs located outside settlement limits will help to protect those features considered of greatest importance to the local landscape setting.

A complete list of LLPA’s for the Plan Area are contained in Appendix 3B of this document and boundaries are indicated on individual settlement maps contained in Volume 2 Parts 4- 7.

4.0 Development Pressure Analysis

4.1 Context All rural residential planning applications except minor alterations and extensions from 1992 to 2002 have been identified through the 20/20 Planner system and results are compiled on tables with relevant percentages calculated. Applications on the same site will show themselves as one dot only at the scale displayed but are included in the statistical analysis as indicative of development pressures in the countryside. Data relating to the number of withdrawn applications and applications by type was also extricated from 20/20 Planner. The number of appeals with the subsequent PAC decisions was also extracted from the Appeals Register and 20/20 Planner in order to analyse trends and potential pressure areas. Each district has been analysed in terms of the above data and summarised below, followed by a summary and comparison of each district for the whole Plan Area.

4.2 Limavady Borough A total number of 1273 planning application were determined from 1992 to 2002 in Limavady Borough Council Area of which only 16% were located within the Green Belts and CPA. The number of applications being processed has risen steadily within this period from 105 applications to 158 in 2002, apart from a slight drop in the late 1990’s to 97 applications. The overall approval rate for the Borough averages at 73% within this period, although this dipped in the mid 1990’s to 65%, it has risen again to 75% in 2002. On average, 13 applications per year have been withdrawn in this Borough. There appears to be a pattern of this number rising slightly in the last 4 years to a maximum of 22 in the year 2000.

APPROVAL REFUSAL WITHDRAWN

In the present Limavady Area Plan 1984-1999, there are two Green Belts surrounding Limavady and Dungiven and two CPA’s (previously known as Areas of Special Control) within the North Derry AONB and Sperrins AONB. A total number of 204 applications were determined between 1992 and 2002 in the green belts and CPA’s with an average

34


of 18 applications per year. There has been a recent drop to 11 and 12 applications in 2001 and 2002 respectively. The rate of approval in the green belts and CPA’s rose steadily from 61 % in 1993 to 80% in 1999. After which the approval rate took a steep decline to 41% in 2002. Consequently, the refusal rate had fallen to as low as 20% in 1999, which rose again to 59% in 2002. It could be argued that the high refusal rate from 2000 may have deterred applicants from making planning applications in the Green belts and CPA’s thereafter. Although, it should be added that overall the percentage of applications made in green belts and CPA’s compared to the rural remainder is relatively low averaging at 16% and dropping to as low as 6% in 2001.

This constitutes the area of countryside remaining outside the green belts and CPA’s. The number of applications in the rural remainder in Limavady Borough has doubled from 70 in 1992 to 146 in 2002. The highest number of applications, 149, were determined in 2001.The approval rate in the rural remainder gradually decreased from 88 % in 1993 to 63% in 1997. This figure appears to be rising again from early 2000 to 77% when 113 applications were approved in 2002. The refusal rate in Limavady ranges from as low as 12% in 1993 to as high as 37% in 1997. In terms of application type, 63% of applications determined were outline, 30% were full and only 7 % were reserved matters. In relation to the refusal rate, 17 applications or 6% of refusals were full applications, 1 or 1% were reserved matters and 93% were outline applications.

There was a total of 84 planning appeals considered by the Planning Appeals Commission from 1992 until 2002 for new dwellings in the countryside inside and outside the policy areas of Limavady Borough. The majority of planning appeals were outline applications 87%, 12% were full applications and only 1% were reserved matters. Ninety four percent, (94%) of this total were located outside the green belts and CPA’s. Of the 79 appeals taken within this time period in the rural remainder, 36 or 45% of appeals were allowed and only 43 or 54% were dismissed. Graph 6 illustrates the significant increase in the number of appeals from as little as 2 or none in the early 1990’s to 16 per year in 2001 and 2002 respectively. It also indicates the gradual

In terms of the appeals for proposed dwellings inside policy areas, there were very few appeals lodged. Only 5 appeals or 6% of the total for the Borough were taken to the PAC within this 11 year period. Forty per cent (40%) of which were allowed and 3 (60%) were dismissed. Given the limited numbers of appeals within the policy areas it is difficult to identify any trends within this time period other than the fact that applicants rarely pursued the appeal process within existing restricted policy areas in Limavady Borough.

From 1992 to 2002, a total of 1500 applications were determined in the rural area of Ballymoney Borough. The majority of applications, 1391 or 93%, were proposals for dwellings outside the Green Belt surrounding Ballymoney Town. The number of applications being processed has approximately doubled in this period from 102 in 1992 to 210 in 2002. This increase has been more pronounced in the year 2000 to 2002. The approval rate in the Borough as a whole has been high and relatively steady between 90% and 96% in this time period except for a slight drop in the mid 1990’s to 83% in 1996. There has been a sharp increase in the number of applications being withdrawn in the Borough, from as low as 5 in 1995 to reaching a peak in 2002 of 69 applications.

There is one green belt surrounding Ballymoney Town and no CPA’s in the Borough of Ballymoney. Only 7% or 109 applications in total were determined within this area in the period of 1992 to 2002. As a result, the number of refusals for each year is very low ranging from 0 to 3 decisions and consequently the approval rate is high reaching 100% in four of the years, 1992, 1995, 1998 and 2002. In relation to the planning application type, as expected the majority are outline, 47%, 37% were full and 16% were reserved matters.

A total of 1391 applications were determined in the rest of the rural area outside the Ballymoney green belt in the period 1992 to 2002. The number of applications in this area has risen steadily and more than doubled from 93 in 1992 to 200 in 2002. The approval rate has remained relatively high ranging from 92% to 96% apart from a drop in the mid 1990s to 83 % in 1995. Accordingly, the refusal rate in the rural remainder is fairly low, averaging at 9% over the period of 1992 to 2002. In terms of application type, 824 or 59% of applications were outline, 23% were full and only 18% were reserved matters.

In Coleraine Borough, a total of 1812 planning applications were determined between 1992 and 2002. Eighty per cent (1433) of these applications were located in the rural remainder of the Borough and 20% (379) were within the green belt and CPA. The number of applications grew steadily throughout the 1990’s with a sharp rise in 2000 to 251 applications, double the 1992 figure of 124. The overall approval rate in Coleraine ranged between 82% and 91% within this time period, although from 1995 the approval rate has been fairly consistent at around 85%. Like other Boroughs the number of applications withdrawn from the system in Coleraine Borough has risen steadily throughout this period but peaked to as high as 46 in 2000, which compares to 10 in 1992.

Out of a total of 379 applications inside the Coleraine green belt and Causeway Coast CPA, 298 (79%) were approved and 81(21%) were refused between 1992 and 2002. The total number of applications has fluctuated within this period, peaking at 41 in 1992 and 1998 and remaining steady at high 20’s in the last three years of this period. The approval rate within this time period ranges from 70% to 84% generally although it peaked in 1994 at 90%. More recently the approval rate has steadied at 75% in 2001 and 2002. Consequently, the refusal rate has varied from 10% in 1994 to 30% in 1996 and 2000. In relation to application type, nearly half (49%) of all applications inside the green belt and CPA were outline, 42% were full and only 9% were reserved matters.

4.4.2 Outside Green Belt and CPA

In the rural area remaining outside the Coleraine green belt and Causeway Coast CPA, a total of 1433 applications were determined from 1992 to 2002, nearly tripling in number from 83 in 1992 to 231 in 2002. Eighty six per cent (1238) were approved and only 14% were refused within this period. The approval rate appeared to be relatively higher in the mid 1990’s reaching 91% in 1995 and 1996 dropping to between 84% and 87% in the rest of the period. The majority of applications, 58%, determined outside the green belt and CPA were for outline applications, 31% were full and only 11% were reserved matters.

Of those, 639 or 57% were related to the sites located outside the Antrim Coast and Glens CPA. The district total of applications for dwellings outside the development limits of settlements in Moyle, has almost tripled from 49 in 1992 to 150 in 2001. The overall approval rate has been relatively high and steady, ranging from 87% to 94% from 1992 to 2002, apart from a steep drop to 78% in 1999. The number of applications withdrawn from the system in Moyle District has risen considerably from as low as 2 in the early 1990’s to as high as 37 in 2001.

4.6 Summary of rural pressure analysis with district comparison

• The number of applications being determined in each district in the Northern Area Plan has risen considerably between the period of 1992 to 2002. This is particularly apparent in Moyle, as the figure has approximately tripled from 49 in 1992 to 145 in 2002 and doubled in Ballymoney and Coleraine. Graph 25 also illustrates a steep rise in the number of applications from 2000 to 2002, particularly in Coleraine and Moyle Districts.

• The number of applications being withdrawn from the system in the whole Plan Area has risen substantially, from 1992 to 2002 but has been rising particularly steeply in the latter years. Ballymoney Borough has a considerably higher withdrawal rate, totalling 296 within this time period with an average of 27 per year. This compares to Limavady Borough which totalled 151 with an average of 13 applications per year. This pattern correlates to the difference in refusal rates between the two districts.

• There are three Green Belts and four CPA policy areas presently located within the Northern Area Plan 2016. As each district has a different extent of policy area coverage, it is difficult to compare districts in terms of trends. In general, though, analysis has indicated that there is no significant rise in the number of applications being determined in policy areas apart from a slight rise in Moyle District. Therefore even though the overall district numbers have risen considerably, the policy areas appear to be deterring the submission of applications. Also, it can be deduced that the approval rate has been generally high, particularly in Ballymoney, dropping more recently in Limavady and Coleraine but rising in Moyle.

• Outside the Green Belts/CPA policy areas, analysis has indicated in all districts that the number of applications has either doubled (Limavady, Ballymoney) or tripled (Coleraine, Moyle) in the period between 1992 to 2002. There are a number of reasons likely for this pressure, including the increasing trend of people desiring to live in the countryside and the recent economic pressures on the farming

55


community resulting in the desire to sell off land for individual houses. In most districts the approval rate has been steady but rising more recently, Ballymoney with a particularly high approval rate and Limavady with a particularly high refusal rate.

• In relation to application type, overall outline applications predominate averaging from approximately 48% to 63%, with a pattern of slightly more outline applications determined outside policy areas in all districts. Full applications determined averaged between 30% and 40% with a higher percentage within the policy areas in all districts. The number of reserved matters applications was fairly low averaging between 7% and 18%.

• In terms of planning appeals, there is a considerable variation in the number between districts, as Limavady has the highest number at 84 within this time period compared to Ballymoney which totalled only 12. In general, there is a rise in the number of appeals, particularly from 2000.

• There are generally less appeals being considered by the PAC inside the policy areas which is particularly prevalent in the Limavady Borough at only 6% and only 1 appeal considered for Ballymoney and Moyle respectively within this 10 year period. Therefore the existence of policy areas would appear to deter the number of appeals being made within this period. Graph 28 illustrates this relatively low number of appeals across the districts within policy areas. Also, the rise in the number of planning appeals since 2000 would appear to be applications located outside policy areas in most districts.

5.0 Development Pressure Areas

5.1 Existing Rural Stock Maps 4,6,8 and 10 indicate the existing rural housing stock for each district within the Plan area at 2003. In general, the existing rural stock coincides with the pattern of the existing road network across the four districts. A concentration of the existing rural stock is evident in several areas across the district including;

• The Seacoast Road, Clooney Road (A2) east, west and south of Greysteel, the Windyhill Road and the Baranilt Road in Limavady Borough.

• The Ballywoolan Road and the road network southwest of Castlerock, the Atlantic Road between Coleraine and Portrush, the Loughan Road south of Coleraine Town in the Coleraine Borough.

• The Lisboy Road and the Finvoy Road in the Ballymoney Borough. • Along the main Antrim Glens roads including Glendun Road,

Knocknacarry Road, Glenaan Road, Glenariff Road and the Glen Road in the Moyle District.

5.2 Development Pressure Areas Maps 5,7,9 and 11 indicate the location of planning decisions and appeals for rural dwellings within each district from the period 1992 to 2002. Each district map shows approvals, refusals and applications which were withdrawn in this period. Appeal sites for each district within the period of 1998 to 2002 are also incorporated within the map. Pressure for rural dwellings throughout the Plan area was generally high, although specific development pressure areas can be identified in several areas within each district.

5.3 Limavady Borough • The map clearly identifies an area of development pressure to the

west, east and south of Greysteel. The pattern of development is concentrated along the road network with pressure points particularly along areas with a view of Lough Foyle adjacent to Greysteel and to the south where the contours rise above the settlement. Pressure points include Clooney Road, Craigbrack Road, Dungullion Road, Sheskin Road, Vale Road, Dunlade Road and Lime Road.

• An area of development pressure is also clearly identifiable to the south and south west of Limavady Town on the edges of the existing Green Belt. Again the pressure for development is visible along the main road network and pressure points include Loughermore Road, Sistrakeel Road, Tartnakelly Road, Larch Road, Baranilt Road, Glenhead Road, Ballydarrog Road, New Line Road and Pollys Brae Road.

• To the north of the Borough along the Seacoast Road to the north and south of Bellerena can be identified.

57


• An area of pressure can also be identified to the north east of Limavady along the road network connecting with Coleraine. In particular pressure ares include Windyhill Road, Stradreagh Road, Drumalief Road and Bolea Road.

• An area of pressure can be identified to the south of Feeny along the Umrycam, Glenadra and Altinure Roads.

5.4 Coleraine Borough • An area of pressure can be identified to the south west of

Castlerock and Articlave on the edges of the existing Green Belt. Pressure points can be seen along the road network including Ballymadigan Road, Glebe Road, Altikeeragh Road, Ballyhacket Road and Ballyhackett Lane.

• A second area of development pressure can be identified along the Bann River at Drumiel Road and Agivey Road.

5.5 Ballymoney Borough • An area of pressure can be identified to the south of Ballymoney

Town along the edges of the existing Green Belt. Particular pressure points include the Finvoy Road, Burnquarter Road, Mullans Road, and Bravallen Road.

• A second area of pressure can be identified to the east of Ballymoney Town along the Lisboy Road, Boylan Road, Glenlough Road and Tummock Road.

• An area of development pressure can also be identified along the Bann River at Tamlaght Road.

6.0 Definition of Green Belt/CPA’s

6.1 A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland states under Policy SP12 Rural Landscapes that Countryside Assessments will identify development pressure and consider its impact on the landscape and local rural character. Where it is considered necessary to protect landscapes from excessive or inappropriate development, Green Belts will be designated around cities and towns and Countryside Policy Areas (CPAs) elsewhere. Countryside Policy Areas can include the following;

• important river corridors; • pockets of countryside beyond the Green Belt, affected by

commuter pressures associated with the Belfast Urban Area, where their rural character is threatened by suburban development;

• such parts of AONB’s where the quality of landscape is identified as under threat from development pressure; and

• the undeveloped coast in order to preserve its natural character and landscape.

6.2 The pressure for development in the countryside is therefore not the sole determinant when considering the extent of Green Belts and

58


Countryside Policy Areas. The pressure for development must be balanced with other factors including:

• The capacity of the landscape to accommodate development without loss of rural character;

• The existing pattern of development and its appearance and effect on the landscape; and

• The character of the landscape and rural area, which may come under threat as a result of additional development.

6.3 The boundaries to the outer edge of Green Belt extensions and new CPA for all districts are drawn to coincide with physical features on the ground or follow the line of a road with a 100 metre buffer when necessary.

7.0 Justification of Green Belt/CPA’s

7.1 Existing Green Belts/Countryside Policy Areas

Taking into account the information collated above in terms of existing rural stock, the pressure for new dwellings and prevailing planning policy including the Rural Planning Strategy, RDS and the NI Character Assessment 2000 and Biodiversity, the Northern Area Plan proposes to retain the existing policy areas in order to manage change and maintain an attractive and prosperous rural area. The Green Belt and CPA policies have provided effective control over development in these areas and the Department considers it necessary to continue to maintain strict planning control in these areas. The existing policy areas designated in previous Plans are;

• Limavady Green Belt • Dungiven Green Belt • North Derry Area of Special Control (minor part of AONB within

Limavady Borough) • The Sperrins Area of Special Control (minor part of AONB within

Limavady Borough) • Coleraine/Ballymoney Green Belt • The Causeway Coast CPA • The Antrim Glens and Coast CPA

7.2 Justification of Extensions to Green Belts As indicated above the Department has analysed the planning decisions and appeal figures for the period 1992-2002 with associated maps, combined with existing rural stock maps for 2003 in order to consider development pressure areas within or on the edges of Green Belts. In the context of the RDS, the Rural Strategy, the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment 2000 and the analysis of existing and potential development pressure, the Department considers extensions to Green Belt designations around the relevant settlements to be justified. This justification arises from the need for the Department

59


to exercise control over new development to meet the objectives of regional planning and specifically the strategic objectives of Green Belts, as set out in Policy GB/CPA 1 of the Rural Strategy.

7.3 Limavady Green Belt The Department considers that the existing Green Belt around Limavady has provided an effective control over development within this rural area. It is now considered necessary not only to maintain strict planning control in this area but, also, to introduce a number of extensions where development pressure is greatest. Accordingly, two major extensions and one minor extension are detailed below.

• Extension west of Ballykelly surrounding Greysteel Village The previous Green Belt has been significantly extended to the west of Ballykelly to encompass the village of Greysteel and link with the adjoining Green Belt surrounding Londonderry as designated in the Derry Area Plan 2011. The rural housing analysis indicates that this area is experiencing ongoing pressure for development. This is particularly evident along the road network to the west and south of Greysteel in elevated areas overlooking the Foyle Estuary. The existing rural housing stock map for 2003 also indicates a particularly high concentration of built form in this vicinity. The Landscape Character Assessment highlights the effects of pressure within the Lough Foyle Alluvial Plain Landscape Character area (LCA) and recommends protection of the distinctive settings of Ballykelly and Greysteel. It is anticipated that this pressure is likely to increase over the Plan period given the area’s strategic location along the northern corridor, its good accessibility to Londonderry - the regional city of the North West, and the main hub of Limavady. The area is also in close proximity to the City of Derry Airport which anticipates continued expansion and potential strategic employment locations. Accordingly, it is considered necessary to extend the Green Belt in this area to protect the setting of settlements and to safeguard the surrounding countryside and prevent coalescence of Ballykelly and Greysteel.

• Extension south west of Limavady Town The second area of major extension is located to the south west of Limavady Town. The rural housing analysis indicated that this area has been experiencing ongoing pressure for development. The rural housing existing stock map also indicates a high concentration of built development within this area by 2003. It is anticipated that this pressure is likely to increase given the area’s proximity to the main hub of Limavady and accessibility to the northern corridor. This extension is therefore considered necessary to protect the setting of Limavady Town and to safeguard the surrounding countryside.

60


• Extension north east of Limavady Town adjoining the North DerryAONB It is considered that a minor extension to the Green Belt to the north east of Limavady Town and adjoining the North Derry AONB is necessary. The North Derry AONB has now been designated a Countryside Policy Area and this area of land falls between the Green Belt and CPA designations. The existing housing stock map indicates a particularly high concentration of built development in this vicinity by 2003. Accordingly, in the context of the development pressure in this area as indicated by the rural housing analysis and the potential pressure likely to be exerted on this area due to the adjoining designations, it is considered necessary to extend the Green Belt. This will protect the setting of Limavady and safeguard the surrounding countryside.

The north east boundary of the outer edge of the Limavady Green Belt now coincides with the boundary of the North Derry Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

7.4 Dungiven Green Belt The Department considers that the existing Green Belt around Dungiven has provided an effective control over development within this rural area. It is considered appropriate and necessary to maintain strict planning control in this area where development pressure is likely to be greatest. Accordingly, apart from the minor exception detailed below, the Green Belt has been designated to accord with the previous boundary.

• Extension east of Dungiven to adjoin the Sperrins AONB The Department considers that a minor extension of the Green Belt to the east of Dungiven Town adjoining the Sperrins Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is necessary. That part of the Sperrins AONB within the Plan area is now designated as a Countryside Policy Area and this area is between the previous Green Belt and the new CPA designation. Accordingly, given the potential pressure likely to be exerted on this area due to the surrounding designations, it is considered appropriate to designate an extended Green Belt. This is necessary to protect the setting of Dungiven and to safeguard the surrounding countryside.

The outer boundary of the Dungiven Green Belt has now been defined to coincide with the Sperrin AONB boundary to the east and south of Dungiven.

7.5 Coleraine/Ballymoney Green Belt The Department considers that the existing Green Belt around Coleraine/Ballymoney has provided an effective control over development within this rural area. It is considered appropriate and necessary to maintain strict planning control in this area where development pressure is likely to be greatest. The designation includes three areas of significant extension which are detailed below.

61


• Extension to the south of Castlerock Village. The previous Green Belt is extended south of Castlerock and west of Coleraine Town to adjoin the North Derry Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The North Derry AONB has now been designated as a Countryside Policy Area. The rural housing analysis indicates that this area has come under increasing pressure for development, and its rural character is increasingly being compromised. The existing rural housing stock map further indicates a particularly high concentration of built development in this vicinity at 2003. Situated within easy access of Coleraine town and with its proximity to the North Coast and prime coastal views, it is likely that development pressure will continue to intensify. Accordingly, it is considered necessary to extend the Green Belt in this area, to protect the setting of Coleraine and safeguard the remaining rural character of the countryside.

• Extension to the east of Ballymoney Town. The previous Green Belt designation is also significantly extended to the east of Ballymoney Town. The rural housing analysis indicates that this area is experiencing ongoing pressure for development. The existing rural housing stock map for 2003 also indicates a particularly high concentration of built development in this vicinity. This area has good accessibility to the North Coast and the Antrim Coast and Glens as well as being in close proximity to Ballymoney Town. This is considered necessary to protect the setting of Ballymoney and to safeguard the surrounding countryside.

• Extension to the south of Ballymoney Town. The previous Green Belt designation is also significantly extended to the south of Ballymoney Town. The rural housing analysis indicates that this area is experiencing ongoing pressure for development. This area has good accessibility to Ballymoney Town along with direct links to Belfast along the northern corridor. This extension is considered necessary to protect the setting of Ballymoney and to safeguard the surrounding countryside.

7.6 Countryside Policy Areas (CPAs) In the context of the RDS, the Rural Strategy, the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment 2000 and analysis of existing and potential development pressure, the Department considers three new Countryside Policy Area designations and four existing to be justified. This justification arises from the need for the Department to exercise control over new development to meet the objectives of regional planning and specifically the strategic objectives of Countryside Policy Areas, as set out in Policy GB/CPA 1 of the Rural Strategy. In this context the Department has also considered the information relating to Biodiversity as contained in section 2.2.1 and in particular, section 2.2.1.4 of this document. This is also referred to in relevant appendix maps 1 and 2 of this document.

62


7.7 Antrim Coast and Glens Countryside Policy Area The designation of that part of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the North East Area Plan area as a Countryside Policy Area (CPA) has been largely effective in protecting the unique landscape character, from damaging development pressure. Since 1990 there has been a trend towards demand for increased development, therefore it is considered essential to retain the CPA designation.

The CPA boundary coincides with the designated AONB boundary.

7.8 Causeway Coast Countryside Policy Area The designation of the Causeway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the North East Area Plan area as a Countryside Policy Area (CPA) has been largely effective in protecting the unique landscape character, from damaging development pressure. Since 1990 there has been a trend towards demand for increased development, therefore it is considered essential to retain the CPA designation. The existing CPA however has been extended to include an area to the east, south and west of Bushmills. The Biodiversity information also indicates that the LCA Causeway Coast has the highest number of priority habitats in the Plan area of Northern Ireland significance, with a total of 4.

Planning Policy Statement 6 ‘Planning, Archaeology and the Built Heritage’ gave a commitment that a ‘new development plan’ would define more precisely the setting of the Region’s only World Heritage Site. This has been done and it is concluded that all that area with significant views to and from the World Heritage Site should be included within a CPA. Its setting would thereby be protected from development of a scale and prominence, which would diminish public enjoyment of the World Heritage Site, that is largely dependent on the grandeur of its natural features and the adjoining coastal area for its positive impact. As a result an area to the east, south and west of Bushmills has been included within the CPA, which now extends beyond the AONB boundary in the western part of Moyle District and the north eastern part of Coleraine Borough.

7.9 North Derry Countryside Policy Area This Countryside Policy Area encompasses the complete North Derry Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which stretches across the northern section of Limavady Borough and the north eastern edge of Coleraine Borough. It incorporates the existing CPAs as designated in the Limavady Area Plan 1984-1999 but now extends significantly to include the rest of the AONB.

North Derry AONB is a unique landscape comprising two main character areas, the Magilligan Lowlands, found on the eastern shores of Lough Foyle and Binevenagh, the basalt escarpment which forms a dramatic backdrop to this flat coastal plain. The lowlands are characterised by a geometric pattern of rectangular fields, subdivided

63


by a grid of drainage ditches. Apart from the sand dune ridges of Magilligan Strand to the west and the dramatic cliffs of Binevenagh to the east, most of the landscape within the AONB is characterised by this abstract pattern of straight roads and right angles with an open and windswept character devoid of trees and hedgerows. As such, the area is sensitive to new development and changes in the field pattern, which is already evident as the rural housing analysis indicates particularly along the main coast road. The historic field pattern of the marginal upland pastures of Binevenagh ridge gradually merging into distinctive moorland characterises the eastern edge of the AONB. Although the rural housing analysis indicates comparatively low pressure, this area is particularly sensitive along the highly visible slopes, as well as the open upland plateau where new development or structures are likely to have a detrimental impact on the character and quality of this landscape.

In the context of this CPA’s unique landscape attraction, the Magilligan Ferry, Benone complex and its proximity to other tourist attractions such as the Giants Causeway, it is likely that the area will come under future pressure for development from the growth in the tourist industry within the Plan period. Appropriate tourist development will be acceptable within Benone, provided satisfactory infrastructure for the treatment of waste water is in place, and any development would integrate into the landscape in a compact form.

The Biodiversity Study has indicated that the these two Landscape Character Areas encompass two priority habitats of National Importance and nineteen priority species of Northern Ireland or national significance.

A Countryside Policy Area is designated to protect the visual amenity of this area of acknowledged landscape quality, to maintain the rural character of the countryside, to afford protection from those parts of the area under pressure for development and to protect areas rich in priority habitats and species of Northern Ireland and national significance.

The boundaries to the outer edge of this CPA are drawn to coincide with the existing AONB.

7.10 The Sperrins Countryside Policy Area The Sperrins Countryside Policy Area encompasses that part of the Sperrins Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty located within the Plan Area, which stretches across the southern section of Limavady Borough Council Area. This connects with that part of the Sperrins AONB located within Magherafelt District, which was recently designated as a CPA by the Draft Magherafelt Area Plan 2015. It incorporates the existing CPA as designated in the Limavady Area Plan 1984-1999 but now extends significantly to include the rest of the AONB.

64


This is an extensive upland area, important not only for its scenic quality, but also for its nature conservation and archaeological interests. The rural character of the area remains relatively intact although the rural housing analysis reveals pressure is building up to the south east of Feeny and along the main A2 corridor to Belfast.

Relatively small elements in the landscape, such as electricity lines or single dwellings, are often visible over long distances. Consequently, although there is comparatively low pressure for development within much of the CPA, the impact of buildings and other structures can have disproportionate effects on the character and visual quality of the landscape and detract from the sense of wilderness.

The Biodiversity Study highlights that two priority habitats of national significance and six to ten priority species of Northern Ireland and national significance are present within the Sperrin Mountains landscape character area.

A Countryside Policy Area is designated to protect the visual amenity of this area of acknowledged landscape quality, to maintain the rural character of the countryside, and to protect areas rich in priority habitats and species of Northern Ireland or national significance.

The boundaries to the outer edge of this CPA are defined to coincide with the existing AONB.

7.11 The River Bann Countryside Policy Area This Countryside Policy Area extends along the Lower Bann corridor within the Plan area traversing two landscape character areas, the Lower Bann Valley and the Lower Bann Floodplain. It stretches along the western fringe of Ballymoney Borough and the eastern fringe of Coleraine generally extending to about 1 kilometre on either side of the River Bann.

The Lower Bann River runs through a variety of contrasting river corridor landscapes. Its upper reaches are characterised by steep sided, well-wooded sand and gravel hills and ridges. The valley floor then widens and flattens into extensive open flat pastures, which contrast markedly against the narrow well-wooded valley sides of its lower reaches. This area is important not only for its scenic quality but also its biodiversity, and historical and industrial archaeology. Given the location along a river corridor, the area is vulnerable to development pressure, which is particularly noticeable along Vow Road in Ballymoney Borough.

The Biodiversity Study indicates that four priority habitats of national significance and sixteen to twenty priority species of Northern Ireland and national significance are present within the Lower Bann Valley landscape character area.

65


A Countryside Policy Area is designated to protect the visual amenity of this area of acknowledged landscape quality, to maintain the rural character of the countryside, to afford protection from those parts of the area under pressure for development and to protect areas rich in priority habitats and species of Northern Ireland and of national significance.

The boundaries to the outer edge of this CPA are drawn to coincide with physical features on the ground or follow the line of a road with a 100 metre buffer when necessary.

8.0 Settlement Appraisal

8.1 Introduction The following appraisals of the towns, villages and small settlements within the Northern Area Plan area have provided the basis for identifying Settlement Development Limits and other Plan Proposals including policies, zonings and designations. They identify features worthy of protection and retention, and contribute to local design requirements for individual sites. Each appraisal is structured into, where applicable, a short description of character, availability, availability of facilities, assets and constraints on future development and a justification of identified Settlement Development Limits, that takes into account relevant factors. The settlements are considered on a district basis following the settlement hierarchy.


Ballymoney

1.0 Character

1.1 Little is known of the origins of Ballymoney, other than the original settlement developed around two Celtic Forts, one at the western end of Castle Street, the other at the eastern end of Meeting House Street.

1.2 The name of Ballymoney is thought to originate from Baile – Mona, or town of the bog, a reflection of its location close to extensive area of lowland bog.

1.3 Ballymoney is a market town sited at the former crossing point on the Ballymoney River. Its landscape setting is characterised by the green corridor along the Ballymoney River floodplain, to the south of the present town centre, and the wooded estate at Leslie Hill Estate. The quality of the urban environment in the town centre is recognised by its designation as a Conservation Area in November 1994. This includes a substantial part of the four streets in the historic core of the town radiating from the Diamond.

1.4 There are thirty one Listed Buildings in the town. These are distributed throughout, and mainly relate to religious buildings, or are concentrated in Charlotte Street, a predominantly residential street of early 19th

century Irish Georgian dwellings. There are also four scheduled Monuments in the town, all within the Town Parks townland. A further fifteen scheduled monuments lie outside, but close to the present extent of the town.

1.5 Ballymoney is a typical Northern Ireland market town which acts as an important local service centre providing retail, health, educational and community facilities for the town’s population and the significant rural

67


hinterland. Ballymoney has a relatively steady manufacturing base. However, similar to other market towns, its retail function has been subjected to increased competition from the neighbouring towns of Coleraine and Ballymena.

1.6 The town has experienced a recent upsurge in the housing market rate of growth, this coupled with the recent successful town centre regeneration and given its strategic location, have made Ballymoney an increasingly attractive and popular place to live.

2.0 Location and Connections

2.1 Ballymoney is located well strategically in Northern Ireland along a key transport corridor running from Belfast to Londonderry and is served well by good rail and road links. Due to its location the town has good access to all parts of the region including the North, the North West, the gateways of Belfast, Larne and the International Airport.

2.2 In terms of public transport, Ballymoney, given its size relative to other towns in Northern Ireland, is well served due to its railway service.

3.0 Facilities and Services

3.1 The town provides a full range of facilities and services. The majority of retail units are located within the core of the town centre. The table below provides an overview of the range of main uses in the town centre at May 2004:

3.2 A small portion of industry exists in the town centre, however industrial land is distributed mainly in the southern part of the town in the four main locations, including Garryduff Road and Ballybrakes Road.

68


3.3 These sites provide a range of local employment opportunity, including light and general industry. Retail and other, non-industrial, uses are also located on some of these sites.

3.4 Other facilities in the town include 1 nursery school, 1 preparatory school, 3 primary schools, 3 post primary schools; churches encompassing a wide range of religious denominations; a leisure centre including a swimming pool; a town hall, to be refurbished and extended; a library; and local health facilities.

4.0 Assets and Constraints

4.1 The following assets and constraints to development have been identified: 1. the potential for further development within the existing built form; 2. strategically located next to the key Belfast to Londonderry

transport corridor; 3. range of local services and facilities; 4. variety of local employment opportunities; 5. public transport – bus and rail services; and 6. Built heritage features including listed buildings, conservation area

and historic parks, gardens and demesnes.

5.0 Justification of Settlement Development Limit

5.1 A settlement development limit is designated to: 1. recognise the town’s potential for further growth, in line with its

character and function as identified in the RDS; 2. respect its strong and independent identity as a market town; 3. protect the quality of its urban form in the historic town centre; 4. recognise its outward expansion is constrained in several directions

by physical, topographical and environmental factors; 5. protect its landscape setting and location on the Ballymoney River,

and its historic setting limiting scope for development; and 6. Maximise the use of existing land within the present extent of urban

form, taking into account any land with extant planning permission.

Coleraine

1.0 Character

1.1 Coleraine is the largest settlement in the Plan Area and has a long history of settlement. The Mountsandel Mesolithic site has yielded among the earliest evidence of man in Ireland. The town has associations with Saint Patrick from the 5th Century, followed by a monastic site close to what was the lowest fording point on the Bann at Coleraine Bridge. The town was one of the two urban communities developed by the London Companies in County Londonderry in the Plantation at the beginning of the 17th Century. The town centre’s slightly skewed rectilinear street pattern is a continued legacy of that early exercise in town planning, along with traces of the lines of the earthen ramparts that provided the Plantation town with its defences. With some industrialisation, the expansion of the river port, and the coming of the railway, the town expanded significantly throughout the 19th Century and into the early part of the 20th Century. There are over 70 Listed Buildings throughout Coleraine town with a large percentage of them concentrated in the town centre area. These incorporate a wide range of uses, reflecting the town’s importance in previous centuries. The town also exhibits part of its former walls from the Plantation period, known as The Ramparts.

1.2 Coleraine steadily expanded throughout the Post War period, with the population doubling, due to major industrial development, the establishment of the University of Ulster, the expansion of commerce and the development of sport and recreational facilities. The harbour formerly functioned as a major port for the receipt and distribution of a range of goods, however, whilst still a working harbour, its role is now diminished.

1.3 Coleraine has an attractive location on the River Bann convenient to the North Antrim Coast. The topography affords long distance views from within the settlement. As the River Bann is navigable, this provides, along with the railway network, alternative public view points. The town is encompassed by a Green Belt.

1.4 It is the main retail and service centre in the Plan area fulfilling important commercial, health, educational, employment and administrative functions.


2.1 Coleraine is 90 kilometres north west of Belfast and 50 kilometres east of Londonderry, both of which are linked by the trunk roads and the railway of the Northern Corridor. This corridor also links the town with Belfast and Londonderry ports. Belfast City Airport, City of Derry Airport (35 kilometres to the west), and the main regional airport,

84


Belfast International Airport, 70 kilometres to the south are all relatively accessible along the Northern Corridor. Bus services serving the outlying parts of the town and other settlements terminate in the recently built rail and bus terminus on the edge of the town centre.

2.2 The town is connected to other parts of the Plan area and province by rail. Route 93 of the National Cycleway Network runs through Coleraine and connects it with a significant part of the Borough and Plan area generally. There are several attractive pedestrian routes in the town including walks in the forests and wooded areas in the town and along part of the west bank of the Bann.


3.1 The range of facilities and services in Coleraine is extensive, as befits its role and function. These are located in the town centre, and also distributed throughout the town. The town centre presently provides a wide range of retailing and ancillary services, however, the evening economy is weak. Whilst some convenience retailing occurs in the town centre, the presence of major national supermarkets on the edge of the town centre, and beyond in out of centre locations limits the opportunity for linked trips.

3.2 In addition to the town centre and university, employment opportunities are provided by a range of industrial sites distributed throughout the town. Some of these sites also incorporate non-industrial uses, for example retail activity. The Borough Council offices are located at Cloonavin, and further employment is provided by the Government’s County Hall complex, and by the Causeway Hospital.

3.3 The range of other facilities is, in part, affected by the town’s proximity to the coastal towns of Portrush and Portstewart, in particular its evening economy. Coleraine leisure centre is within the town and

85


includes a swimming pool. Other sports and leisure facilities are provided by a wide range of local clubs. The town has thirteen churches embracing a wide variety of denominations, and numerous related halls. In addition to the university campus, Coleraine has a college of further education, eight primary schools, and six post primary schools.


4.1 The following assets and constraints to development have been identified: 1. Identified role as a Main Hub in the Regional Development

Strategy; 2. Strategically located on the key Belfast to Londonderry transport

corridor; 3. Extensive range of services and facilities serving a wide

townscape, and historic parks, gardens and demesnes; and 9. Attractive landscape setting.


5.1 A settlement development limit is designated to: 1. Recognise the town’s potential for further growth, and strength

its role as a Main Hub as identified in the RDS; 2. Respect its strong identity as a major town serving a wide sub

regional catchment; 3. Protect the quality of its urban form in the historic town centre; 4. Recognise its outward expansion is constrained in several

directions by physical, topographical and environmental factors; 5. Protect its landscape setting and location on the River Bann

whilst recognising this as a key asset; and 6. Maximise the use of existing land within the present extent of

built form, taking into account any land with extant planning permission.

Garvagh

1.0 Character

1.2 The town is based around a crossroads with a central square containing a memorial at its centre. It is located on higher ground to the west of the Bann within an attractive, well wooded, rolling countryside with streams, small loughs and damp hollows.

1.3 Kilrea has a number of listed buildings dispersed mainly throughout the historic core of the town. These include churches, war memorials and telephone kiosks.

1.4 There are a number of unscheduled archaeological monuments within and adjacent to Kilrea.

1.5 Kilrea has developed into an important service centre for the south eastern part of Coleraine Borough and has seen a steady rise in population over the last decade.

1.6 The last decade has also seen extensive private housing, commercial and small business enterprise development.


2.1 Kilrea is located to the south east of Coleraine and is situated on the A54 route to Castledawson. Roads from Garvagh, Maghera and Limavady also converge on the town.

2.2 There are only a limited number of daily bus services from Kilrea to Coleraine and Maghera, and Limavady via Garvagh.

Portrush

1.0 Character

1.1 Originally a modest sized fishing village, Portrush developed into a fashionable seaside resort following the arrival of the railway from Belfast in 1855. Visitors in the Victorian era were attracted by the resort’s dramatic peninsula setting flanked by two major beaches and proximity to the Giant’s Causeway, with a direct connection after 1883 by an electric powered tram, and superb golf links. By the Edwardian era, the town had all the trappings of a well appointed holiday resort - fine hotels, bath houses, gardens with bandstands, promenades, a large and fashionable department store, and a rebuilt, enlarged, railway station in Stockbroker Tudor style. Portrush still remains a popular visitor destination although, day-trippers, caravanners and the occupiers of second homes now dominate the local tourist market.

1.2 Many of the streets and terraces within the Peninsula still bear witness to the former style and elegance of the resort during the golden years of the Victorian and Edwardian periods when Portrush was the playground of the rich and famous. This dense urban form displays a uniformity and attractive townscape, worthy of protection.

1.3 The town has a highly attractive and dramatic landscape setting, situated on the coast.


2.1 Portrush is 8 kilometres north of Coleraine, 95 kilometres north west of Belfast and 55 kilometres north east of Londonderry with links by the trunk roads and the railway of the Northern Corridor.


3.1 The range of leisure and entertainment facilities in Portrush reflects its role as a visitor/tourist destination. The inter-relationship between Coleraine, Portrush, and Portstewart (known locally as The Triangle) is reflected in the location of some facilities. Portrush has a number of facilities that may appear to be more appropriate to Coleraine, as the major settlement in the locality, including the town cinema and children’s indoor play venues. Likewise, whilst the town has a reasonable range of services and facilities to meet the everyday needs of its residents, its proximity to Coleraine has an effect in certain respects, for example, its limited convenience retail provision within the town centre.

3.2 The majority of the retail units are located within the Peninsula.. The following table provides an overview of the range of main uses in the centre as at May 2004:

Portstewart

1.0 Character

1.1 Portstewart developed from a small fishing village to a modest size seaside resort in the mid 19th Century under the influence of a local landlord, John Cromie. Its development and character was, however, profoundly influenced by the Cromies and their resistance to a railway connection in the mid 19th Century. As a result, the scale of development for the next century was more modest than that of Portrush, and the town developed with a more genteel character. In the second half of the 20th century, Portstewart developed a wider role as a popular holiday and recreational destination, along with a significant dormitory function due to its proximity to Coleraine.


2.1 Portstewart is 7 kilometres north west of Coleraine, 95 kilometres north west of Belfast and 55 kilometres north east of Londonderry with good road links to the Northern Corridor.


3.1 Portstewart performs the function of a local service centre, providing for the day to day needs of its residents. The range of services and facilities is supplemented by its role as a tourist and second homes destination. There is a large student population in the town also, which also influences the range of services available.

Dungiven

1.0 Character

1.1 The present town of Dungiven formed part of the estates of The Skinners' Company, another of the London Companies granted lands in County Londonderry at the time of the Plantation. It dates from the latter part of the 19th Century when a new town plan was prepared. This showed a long main street extending from the River Roe southwards to the Castle and parish church. Every effort was made to produce a coherent plan for redevelopment. Plans and elevations of all new buildings had to be submitted for approval well ahead of development taking place to ensure they conformed to the intended pattern. The streetscape in the centre of Dungiven exhibits all the characteristics of a typical Ulster market town.

1.2 The town centre today still consists of a main thoroughfare stretching from the river Roe to Magheraboy Terrace. Due to the location of the River Roe and the proposed by-pass the majority of residential developments can be found to the east and north of the settlement. There are 9 Listed Buildings in the town, and the monuments of Dungiven Castle (part of walls), Village: Old Dungiven and the Mill.

Ballycastle

1.0 Character

1.1 The first historical references to a settlement at Ballycastle occur during the 16th Century. A settlement variously known as Market-town, Margietown and Marketown is described as a landing place during the Elizabethan Wars.

1.2 The settlement that developed in association with the erection of a castle between 1603 and 1625 became known as Ballycashlein. This is thought to be the origins of the town’s present name.

1.3 The settlement has been linked since antiquity with fairs. Marketown is Gaelic for mart or fair. This tradition has survived in a much reduced form down to the present day.

1.4 Ballycastle lies in a sheltered bay, protected by hills from the worst of the onshore winds, which would otherwise inhibit tree and plant growth. This has created an attractive landscape setting, which is noticeably well wooded, especially on the valley sides of the Tow River. Many fine individual trees and groups of deciduous trees flourish inside the grounds of larger houses.

1.5 A Conservation Area was designated in the historic town centre and environs of Ballycastle in 1990. This reflects not only the conservation of an area of historic buildings, but the conservation of a complex of historic elements, such as archaeological features, trees and parkland that collectively have determined the special character of Ballycastle and provide a basis for maintaining its individual identity.

1.6 Ballycastle has over 50 Listed Buildings in the town centre alone, many centred upon the Diamond, Castle Street and Ann Street. Almost all of these buildings have retained their original commercial frontages and have been listed for their architectural or historic interest. The town and the surrounding landscape are rich in archaeological and industrial monuments.

1.7 Ballycastle is a gateway to two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Antrim Coast and Glens AONB includes the town, while the Causeway Coast AONB adjoins the town’s western boundary.

1.8 Ballycastle is a modest sized market town, providing a good range of services for its own population. It retains the atmosphere of a small Irish market town with a remarkably well preserved historic town centre. It has an extensive rural hinterland and has retained a remarkably robust retail and commercial centre. It is also the administrative centre for the District and its schools serve the greater

126


part of the area. In the summer the population is swelled by a considerable number of tourists underlining the important AONB gateway role of the town and as a desirable tourist destination in its own right.

1.9 The resident population of Ballycastle has increased by 50% in the last 20 years. This has been mirrored by a rapid increase in the holiday

population and the number of second homes over the last 10 years.


2.1 Ballycastle lies at the northern end of the A44 trunk road, which is part of the Regional Strategic Transport Network. The town is situated on the A2 from Portrush and is linked to Coleraine via the B17 and to Ballymena via the A44. Bus services are available to some of the nearby surrounding settlements and, further afield, by a Goldliner Express Service to Coleraine, Ballymena and Belfast.

2.2 A daily ferry service operates, weather permitting, between Ballycastle and Rathlin Island. During the summer months, there are four crossings per day, reducing to two during the rest of the year.

2.3 Ballycastle lies along part of the Ulster Way and the Moyle Way.

2.4 The town lies along Route 93 of the National Cycle Network.


3.1 The town provides a full range of facilities and services. The majority of retail units are located within the core of the town centre.

Bushmills

1.0 Character

1.1 Bushmills is world famous due to the presence of the Old Bushmills Distillery. The village’s early history is obscure, however, it is known that there were five licensed distilleries in the village in 1782, which suggests a significant settlement was in existence at that time. Much of the present historic form of Bushmills originated in the early 19th

century when it was rebuilt and expanded by the Macnaghten’s of Bushmills House. The early growth of Bushmills is attributed to its unusual number and variety of watermills, the extraordinary success of the Old Bushmills Distillery and the development of the Giant’s Causeway as a major tourist attraction.

1.2 Today, Bushmills functions as a gateway to the Causeway Coast as well as a service centre for the surrounding rural area. The distillery provides considerable employment as well as being a tourist attraction in its own right. The recently opened narrow gauge Heritage Railway emulates the pioneering tramway of the 19th century, carrying visitors between the village and the Giant’s Causeway.

1.3 Whilst Bushmills was not a Plantation town, the village incorporates formal 19th century expressions of townscape such as the enhanced width and straight alignment of the central portion of Main Street, the partial symmetry of Market Square and the use of the replica round tower as a focal point to Dunluce Road. The quality of townscape is recognised with the designation of nearly 90 Listed Buildings in the centre, and its designation as a Conservation Area in 1992. There are also a small number of known archaeological sites within or close to the village.


2.1 Bushmills is situated on the A2 route between Portrush and Ballycastle and is linked to Coleraine via the B17. It is located 11 kilometres to the north-east of Coleraine and 3 kilometres from the Giants’ Causeway. Ballycastle lies 18 kilometres to the east, Portrush 11 kilometres to the west.

129



3.1 The village centre provides a range of services and facilities to meet the everyday needs of its residents and those of its rural hinterland. These are supplemented by a range of additional facilities, mainly centred on the hospitality industry, to serve the needs of visitors and tourists, reflecting its role as the main settlement by the Giant’s Causeway and a destination in its own right.

3.2 Employment opportunity is centred on the distillery and the village centre including the local primary and post primary schools.

3.3 Other facilities include churches encompassing the main religious denominations, a library, local health facilities, and a range of formal and informal public open space.

Cushendall

1.0 Character

1.1 Cushendall has a history of human settlement that stretches back at least since the Iron Age, with the fort, Lurigethan, looking down upon Cushendall. The present form of town owes much to the endeavours of Francis Turnly, who owned the area from the early 1800s. By the time of his death in 1845, the present historic core and character of the village was largely established, and the village continued to grow during the remainder of the 19th century. The most prominent building in the centre, the Curfew Tower, was conceived as ‘a place of confinement for idlers and rioters’. Other public buildings erected included a court, market house, schools and churches. Cushendall has limited industry, however, was a popular tourist destination. The quality of the built environment was recognised with the designation of a Conservation Area in 1975. Many of the buildings in the historic centre are also Listed Buildings. Cushendall lies within the Glens AONB.

Church Bay

1.0 Character

1.1 Rathlin is Northern Ireland’s only inhabited off-shore island. The hamlet of Church Bay has developed around the harbour, which is at the heart of the Rathlin community.

1.2 The island is approximately eight kilometres long and less than one kilometre wide. The landscape surrounding Church Bay is dramatic. High basalt cliffs plunge vertically into the sea. The coastline is indented with many spectacular formations of stacks and needles. The surface of the island is dotted with many small loughs.

1.3 Rathlin lies within the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The island is also rich in national and international nature conservation designations and archaeological features.

1.4 There are several Listed Buildings in the vicinity of the harbour, including a kelpstore and the boathouse, which played significant roles in the development of Church Bay. The Manor House, operated by the National Trust and its associated Historic Park, Garden and Demesne dates from the late Georgian period. There is also a scheduled archaeological monument in the form of a standing stone.

1.5 Rathlin has a small population of approximately 100. Most residents live either within Church Bay or in close proximity.

1.6 The population swells seasonally as tourists visit the island, many to watch the nesting sea birds on the cliffs and coastal stacks.

137



2.1 Church Bay is approximately 10 kilometres by ferry from Ballycastle. A daily ferry service operates, weather permitting, between Ballycastle and Church Bay. During the summer months, there are four crossings per day, reducing to two during the rest of the year. The crossing takes about 45 minutes.

Cushendun

1.0 Character

1.1 Archaeological evidence indicates there has been some form of settlement at Cushendun since the 14th or 15th century. Historically, the location had two way trade between it and Kintyre in Scotland. The

139


distinctive and picturesque appearance of the hamlet today is a result of the endeavours of a former owner of Glenmona Lodge, to the north of the hamlet, Mr Ronald John McNeill, later to become Lord Cushendun. He commissioned architect Clough Williams Ellis (one of the leading architects of his day responsible for Portmeirion in North Wales) to design the historic core of Cushendun in the early 1900s. The hamlet was a popular destination for leading Irish artists later in the century. Cushendun’s historic core contains over thirty Listed Buildings and has been owned by the National Trust since 1954. The Trust has preserved the visual legacy and vernacular buildings that remain. Cushendun was designated a Conservation Area in 1980.


2.1 Cushendun is located on the eastern side of the Antrim Coast. Whilst only 21 kilometres away from Ballycastle, the quality of the local road network and its the presence of the Glens between, emphasise the perception of isolation. Its location is reflected in the fact that is in the nearest harbour in Ireland to mainland Britain.


3.1 Cushendun provides a limited range of facilities to meet the everyday needs of its residents, but also to accommodate tourists. These include a shop/post office, public house, tea room, church, harbour and formal and informal public open space.

APPENDICES

Appendix 1 Natural Environment

Appendix 1A

Statutory Designation – Sites of International Nature Conservation Importance

Ramsar Sites Lough Foyle Ramsar Site – Designated 02 / 02 / 1999 Lough Foyle Ramsar site is situated on the north coast of Northern Ireland in County Londonderry. The area of the Ramsar site is 2160 ha and includes the whole of the Lough Foyle Area of Special Scientific Interest and the intertidal area of the Magilligan Area of Special Scientific Interest in Lough Foyle extending south of Magilligan Point. The area includes all of Lough Foyle Special Protection Area. The site is comprised of a large shallow sea lough, which include the estuaries of the rivers Foyle, Faughan and Roe. The site contains extensive intertidal mudflats and sandflats, and associated brackish ditches.

The site qualifies under the Ramsar Convention by being a particularly good representative example of a wetland complex including intertidal sand and mudflats with extensive seagrass beds, saltmarsh, estuaries and associated brackish ditches.

The site further qualifies by being a particularly good representative example of a wetland, which plays a substantial hydrological, biological and ecological system role in the natural functioning of a major river basin which is located in a trans-border position.

A range of notable fish species have been recorded for the Lough Foyle estuary and the lower reaches of some of its tributary rivers. These include Allis Shad, Twaite Shad, Smelt and Sea Lamprey, all of which are Irish Red Data Book species. In addition, important populations of Atlantic salmon migrate through the system to and from their spawning grounds.

The site regularly supports substantial numbers of individuals from particular groups of waterfowl, which are indicative of wetland values, productivity and diversity. These include internationally important populations of Whooper Swan, Light-bellied Brent Geese and Bar-tailed Godwit, in addition to wildfowl species, which are nationally important in an All-Ireland context.

Garry Bog Ramsar Site – Designated 04 / 06 / 1999 The raised bog which covers most of the site exhibits the full range of characteristic vegetation and structural features associated with this type of habitat and is surrounded by cut-over bog with poor fen. The area of the Ramsar site is 154.76 ha.

145


The site qualifies under the Ramsar Convention by being a particularly good representative example of lowland raised bog. In western Europe most of the relatively intact raised bogs occur in the UK and Ireland. This site is one of the largest intact active bogs in Northern Ireland with hummock and hollow pool complexes and represents one of the best examples of this habitat type in the UK.

Garron Plateau Ramsar Site – Designated 31 / 12 / 1998 The Garron Plateau is the largest area of intact blanket bog in Northern Ireland. The peatland complex is comprised of a series of raised and flushed peat bog units, and a number of oligotrophic water bodies, all within the enveloping blanket bog peat mantle. The peatland supports an array of associated floral and faunal communities, including a number of rare and notable plant and animal species, and a diverse upland breeding bird population.

The area of the proposed Ramsar site is 4650 ha and the Ramsar site boundary is entirely coincident with both that of the Garron Plateau Area of Special Scientific Interest and the Garron Plateau candidate Special Area of Conservation.

The site qualifies under the Ramsar Convention by being a particularly good representative example of a wetland complex including blanket bog base-rich flushes and upland lakes. Blanket bog is a globally restricted biotope which is largely restricted to the UK and Ireland within Europe. The site is the most extensive area of intact upland blanket bog in Northern Ireland and represents one of the best examples of this habitat in the UK.

Special Protection Areas (SPA)

Lough Foyle Special Protection Area

Area: 2204.36 hectares

Grid Reference: C621273

Date Classified: 02/02/99

The site is comprised of a large shallow sea lough which includes the estuaries of the rivers Foyle, Faughan and Roe. The site contains extensive intertidal areas of mudflats and sandflats, saltmarsh and associated brackish ditches.

The Special Protection Area includes the whole of Lough Foyle Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) and the intertidal area of Magilligan ASSI in Lough Foyle extending south of Magilligan Point. The boundary of the Special Protection Area is entirely coincident with that of the Lough Foyle Ramsar site and it overlaps with Magilligan candidate Special Area of Conservation.

146


The site qualifies by regularly supporting, in winter, internationally important numbers of the following 3 species: Whooper Swan, Light-bellied Brent Goose and Bar-tailed Godwit. The site further qualifies by supporting over 20,000 migratory waterfowl. Peak numbers averaged 36,600 for the years 1991 – 1996. This total includes the internationally important species listed above and other waterfowl species, which are nationally important in an all-Ireland context.

Sheep Island Special Protection Area

Area: 3.5 hectares

Grid Reference: D 049459


Sheep Island Special Protection Area incorporates and coincides with the Sheep Island Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) boundary. The 3.5 ha island is located 0.5 km off the North Antrim Coast. The island is almost circular, with a lower promontory to the north west, a near vertical cliff face rising between 20m to 30m above the High Water Mark Mean Tide and a domed top overlaid with a thin layer of soil.

Sheep Island qualifies by regularly supporting, in summer, a nationally important breeding population of the Northern European Sub-species of Cormorant. In addition, the population is the largest in the North of Ireland and thus makes an important contribution to the range of the sub-species.

Rathlin Island Special Protection Area

Area: 3344.62 hectares

Grid Reference: D 127507


The Rathlin Island Special Protection Area (SPA) is classified as an extension to, and renaming of, a previously classified SPA i.e. Rathlin Island Cliffs SPA.

The new site includes the area of coast previously covered by the Rathlin Island Cliffs SPA plus an area of sea around the island. The new site boundary is now entirely coincident with the boundary of the Rathlin Island Special Area of Conservation. The extension is to include an area of sea around the island, which is used by many seabirds. Rathlin Island is a large inhabited marine island situated some 4km from the north Antrim coast of Northern Ireland. There are basalt and chalk cliffs, some as high as 100 metres, as well as several sea stacks on the north and west shores of the island. The south and east shores are more gently sloping with areas of maritime grassland and rocky shore. The length of the coastline is approximately 30 km.

147


Rathlin Island Special Protection Area qualifies by supporting nationally important numbers of Peregrine Falcon. The site further qualifies by supporting internationally important breeding numbers of the following migratory species: Razorbill, Guillemot and Kittiwake.

Special Areas of Conservation (SAC)

Banagher Glen cSAC The site consists of a complex system of river valleys with wooded areas surrounding the main Owenrigh River valley and its three tributary valleys all to the south. The site has a history of continuous woodland cover, with the present woodland being over 200 years old. Due to the underlying geology the site supports examples of both acid Oak woodland and a smaller component of base-rich Ash woodland. The site hosts examples of the metamorphic Dart Formation, principally schists, and metamorphic basic intrusive igneous rocks. It also hosts an internationally important exposure of the Dungiven metamorphic limestones in Banagher Glen Quarry.

European priority interest(s): 1. Tilio-Acerion forests of slopes, screes and ravines • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Mixed woodland on base-rich soils associated with rocky slopes. These are mixed woods on base-rich soils in moist shady conditions associated with ravines or rocky slopes. Ash Fraxinus excelsior tends to dominate but wych elm Ulmus glabra and lime Tilia species are also usually present. In UK examples lime is usually sparse and may be absent from northern woods which otherwise fit this woodland type. These woodlands are rich in plant species and often have a lush ground flora in which ferns, particularly hart’stongue Phyllitis scolopendrium, are common.

European interest(s): 2. Old sessile oak woods with Ilex and Blechnum in the British Isles • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Western acidic oak woodland. The western oak woods in the UK include a range of woodland types, some with much heather Calluna vulgaris and bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus, others more grassy. They typically have rich assemblages of Atlantic mosses and liverworts, distinctive birds, lichen communities, and ferns such as hard fern Blechnum spicant, lemon-scented fern Oreopteris limbosperma and various species of male- and buckler-fern Dryopteris species. Holly Ilex aquifolium is common in the understorey. Such woodland is most abundant in the western parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

148


Bann Estuary cSAC Centred on the mouth of the River Bann, the site is dominated by the major beach and dune system at Portstewart, with smaller dunes at Grangemore and Castlerock, the latter also has a beach. The site is of earth science importance with contemporary coastal processes and associated dune forms, together with features important to understanding post-glacial sea-level history. The dune systems have notable archaeological records. Apart from the dune habitats, the site hosts significant saltmarsh, wet grassland and fen communities, with natural transitions present between many of these – a rare occurrence for Northern Ireland. Notable species of both higher and lower plants occur.

European priority interest(s): 1. Fixed dunes with herbaceous vegetation (“grey dunes”) • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Dune grassland. This species-rich habitat includes a broad range of dune grasslands where the dunes are stable. The exact nature of the vegetation depends on grazing, the degree of stability, and the amount of lime in the sand. Species commonly found include sand sedge Carex arenaria, red fescue Festuca rubra, and lady’s bedstraw Galium verum.

European interest(s): 2. Atlantic salt meadows (Glauco-Puccinellietalia maritimae) • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Atlantic salt meadows. This habitat encompasses saltmarsh vegetation containing perennial flowering plants that are regularly inundated by the sea. The species found in these saltmarshes vary according to the duration and frequency of flooding with seawater, geographical location and grazing intensity. Salt-tolerant species, such as common saltmarsh-grass Puccinellia maritima, sea aster Aster tripolium and sea arrowgrass Triglochin maritima, are particularly characteristic of the habitat.

3. Embryonic shifting dunes • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Shifting dunes. These are low dunes that develop along the upper shore above the high tide line. Only a few plant species are able to survive in these conditions, such as sand couch Elymus farctus, lyme-grass Leymus arenarius, sea sandwort Honckenya peploides and sea rocket Cakile maritima.

149


4. Shifting dunes along the shoreline with Ammophila arenaria (“white dunes”)

• For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Shifting dunes with marram. These are actively-building or growing dunes, found in areas receiving large quantities of blown sand. Continual burying by sand restricts the number of plants that can survive but provides ideal conditions for the growth of sand-binding marram Ammophila arenaria. A small number of other specialised dune plants can also tolerate these conditions.

Binevenagh cSAC This area has been recommended as an SAC because of its geological and geomorphological features, its cliff vegetation, grasslands (in particular herbrich calcicolous grassland), bryophyte-rich scree, rare plants, bryophytes and fungi. Binevenagh is an important outcrop of basalt, providing a fuller understanding of the development and age of the Antrim Lava Group as a whole. The well-defined flow units and pahoehoe surfaces are among the best examples seen anywhere within the basalt plateau. Mass movement during late- or post-glacial times has resulted in large slipped masses of basalt. The cliffs at Binevenagh have a unique assemblage of arctic-alpine plants and bryophytes. The grassland are nationally important for fungi, particularly waxcaps (Hygrocybe). Dry, calcareous grassland also occurs with fine-leaved grasses, sedges and herbs dominating the sward. European priority interest(s): 1. Species-rich Nardus grassland, on siliceous substrates in mountain

areas (and submountain areas in continental Europe) • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Species-rich grassland with mat-grass in upland areas. Swards of mat-grass Nardus stricta are frequently found in upland areas on acid soils, but on mildly base-rich soils the sward can be particularly species-rich with mixtures of grasses, small herbs, mosses and liverworts. At high altitude, arctic-alpine species are frequently found, and alpine lady’s-mantle Alchemilla alpina and thyme Thymus praecox may be abundant. Within the European Union species-rich Nardus grasslands are rare outside the UK and Ireland.

European interest(s): 2. Calcareous and calcshist screes of the montane to alpine levels

(Thlaspietea rotundifolii) • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Base-rich scree. These are steep scree slopes in the uplands, largely derived from base-rich rock including limestone, calcareous schists and basalt. The vegetation is usually characterised by various lime-loving species commonly including the ferns green spleenwort Asplenium trichomanes-ramosum,

150


limestone fern Gymnocarpium robertianum, and holly fern Polystichum lonchitis. Many examples contain rare arctic-alpine plant species.

3. Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Plants in crevices in base-rich rocks. These are plant communities growing in the crevices or fissures of calcareous rocks such as limestone, calcareous schists and basalt. The vegetation may include the ferns maidenhair spleenwort Asplenium trichomanes, green spleenwort Asplenium trichomanes-ramosum and brittle bladder-fern Cystopteris fragilis, and various mosses. This type of crevice vegetation at high altitude often contains rare arctic-alpine plant species.

Breen Wood cSAC Breen Wood is a semi-natural, acid woodland dominated by mature Oak and Downy Birch. As a consequence of glaciation, a series of dry ridges and narrow valleys provides different environmental conditions across the site. These conditions are reflected in the character of the wood, which ranges from mature stands with a well-developed structure on the ridges, to low, scrubby stands in the valley bottoms. Species composition reflects the acid conditions. These include Holly and Rowan in the understorey, Bilberry in the field layer with Great Wood-rush frequently dominating the ground flora. The rare moss Hylocomium umbratum has been recorded, its only known location in Northern Ireland. There is a natural transition from woodland to heath to the west of the site. Breeding birds include the rare Wood Warbler and notable Pied Flycatcher as well as a rich mixture of other passerines and raptors. Mammals include Red Squirrel and Otter.

European priority interest(s): 1. Bog woodland • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Bog woodland. Areas of pine or birch on bogs or acid, peaty hollows, where the trees are evidently a long-established and stable part of the bog vegetation. These trees may be of considerable age, are usually stunted and twisted, and often support a diverse lichen flora. Woodland encroachment resulting from falling water tables is not true ‘bog woodland’.

151


European interest(s): 2. Old sessile oak woods with Ilex and Blechnum in the British Isles • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Western acidic oak woodland. The western oak woods in the UK include a range of woodland types, some with much heather Calluna vulgaris and bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus, others more grassy. They typically have rich assemblages of Atlantic mosses and liverworts, distinctive birds, lichen communities, and ferns such as hard fern Blechnum spicant, lemon-scented fern Oreopteris limbosperma and various species of male- and buckler-fern Dryopteris species. Holly Ilex aquifolium is common in the understorey. Such woodland is most abundant in the western parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Carn/Glenshane Pass cSAC Carn/Glenshane Pass represents a very large area of upland blanket bog, much of which remains intact. Located within the Sperrin Mountains, it is one of the few remaining areas of extensive intact blanket bog within this region of Northern Ireland. The area is characterised by undulating topography and exhibits a number of notable structural features. These include a large, welldeveloped hummock and pool system and extensive eroding hagg complexes within a thick mantle of blanket peat. The site includes rare and unusual plant species. On steeper slopes, where peat deposits are thinner, blanket bog forms a mosaic with wet heath. These slopes frequently give way to flushed grassland with poor-fen vegetation developing at their base. Dry heath dominated by Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) occurs on the driest slopes forming a mosaic with scattered stands of upland grassland. These habitats add diversity to this large, upland area, which supports an array of associated plant and animal communities including Breeding Red Grouse.

European priority interest(s): 1. Blanket bogs • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Blanket bog. This occurs in the wettest parts of the UK as a mantle of peat which often clothes extensive areas of the landscape. Blanket bogs are characteristically wet underfoot, and are usually dominated by carpets of bogmoss Sphagnum species, cotton-grasses and heathers. Active blanket bogs are those in which the peat is still able to accumulate because of the growth of the surface vegetation. In the far north and west of the UK, the surface often displays areas of dramatic patterning, consisting of variously-shaped bog pools sometimes separated by quaking peat ridges. The UK and Ireland hold the largest areas of blanket bog in Europe.

Garron Plateau cSAC This is the most extensive area of intact upland blanket bog in Northern Ireland. The peatland complex is composed of a series of raised and flushed

152


peat bog units and a number of oligotrophic lakes. There are large areas of well-developed bog microtopography, with a mixture of cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix, deer-grass Trichophorum cespitosum and hare`s-tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum, with a generally high cover of dwarfshrubs and Sphagnum papillosum, S. fuscum and S. imbricatum. It is the main Irish location for both the few-flowered sedge Carex pauciflora and tall bog-sedge C. magellanica. The areas of flushed peat are extremely rich floristically, with black bog-rush Schoenus nigricans and brown mosses. The site contains the only Northern Ireland populations of marsh saxifrage Saxifraga hirculus and bog orchid Hammarbya paludosa.

European interest(s): 2. Saxifraga hirculus • Which is known from 15 or fewer 10 x 10 km grid squares in the

United Kingdom. • For which this is one of only four known outstanding localities in the

United Kingdom. Marsh saxifrage. This is an attractive, yellow-flowered plant growing in upland flushes in a few sites in northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It has suffered from over-grazing and drainage. The UK is now a stronghold for this rare plant as many sites throughout Europe have been destroyed.

3. Alkaline fens • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Calcium-rich springwater-fed fens. These are wetland areas that are supplied with base-rich ground water. The water level is permanently high. The vegetation of these fens varies but is usually composed of low-growing sedges, rushes, herbs and mosses, which may include black bog-rush Schoenus nigricans, dioecious sedge Carex dioica and common butterwort Pinguicula vulgaris. Many plants that are rare or scarce in the UK occur in base-rich fens.

153


4. Natural dystrophic lakes and ponds • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Acid peat-stained lakes and ponds. Dystrophic lakes and ponds are highly acidic and characteristically stained brown from contact with surrounding peat. A limited range of plant and invertebrate species are able to tolerate these acid waters, and fish are usually absent. Such habitats are now extremely rare in southern parts of the UK but are a characteristic feature of Scottish peatlands.

5. Northern Atlantic wet heaths with Erica tetralix • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Wet heathland with cross-leaved heath. These are heathlands of cool oceanic regions on mainly acidic, nutrient-poor, shallow peat or sandy soils with impeded drainage. They are often dominated by mixtures of cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix, grasses, sedges and Sphagnum bog-mosses. These heathlands are found in both lowland and upland parts of the UK although they are more extensive in the wetter north and west. The UK hosts the majority of this habitat in the European Union.

6. Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the Littorelletea uniflorae and/or of the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea

• For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Clear-water lakes or lochs with aquatic vegetation and poor to moderate nutrient levels. In the UK this freshwater habitat is represented in the north and west by lakes with low to moderate nutrient levels. These waters are often vulnerable to acid deposition and nutrient enrichment. Shoreweed Littorella uniflora and water lobelia Lobelia dortmanna are characteristic of shallow lake areas. In deeper water alternate water-milfoil Myriophyllum alterniflorum, and quillworts Isoetes species are found. These lakes usually have healthy salmonid fish populations. Brown trout Salmo trutta are common, although in some lakes species such as arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus, whitefish Coregonus lavaretus or vendace Coregonus albula also occur.

7. Transition mires and quaking bogs • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Very wet mires often identified by an unstable ‘quaking’ surface. These are mires or fens which occur in waterlogged situations where they receive nutrients from the surrounding catchment as well as from rainfall. The vegetation is typically dominated by tall sedges Carex species and rushes Juncus species mixed with herbs, over a ground layer of bog-mosses Sphagnum species or feather-mosses such as Calliergon species.

Garry Bog cSAC This is a large active bog, to the west of the Bush River anddirectly north of Ballymoney. It represents one of the largest remaining areas of uncut lowland raised bog in County Antrim. The bog lies within the broad river valley and possesses an exceptionally extensive and well developed pool complex and partially intact lagg. Sphagnum fuscum and S. imbricatum occur on the site and S. pulchrum is found in abundance in the pool system.

European priority interest(s):

Active raised bogs

• For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United Kingdom.

Active raised bogs: These bogs generally have the appearance of a gently sloping raised mound within the landscape. They consist of a deep accumulation of waterlogged peat and a surface covered by a living layer of plants and mosses. As the surface of the bog is raised above the local water table the only source of water and nutrient feeding the bog is rainwater. The plants, mainly heaths, sedges, cotton grasses and bog mosses, are all specially adapted to live in waterlogged, nutrient poor conditions. Subtle variation of these conditions controls the distribution of the species and this creates the distinctively undulating and often colourful pattern characteristic of the bog surface. The UK and Ireland hold the greatest percentage of active raised bog in the European Union.

Magilligan cSAC Magilligan is one of the best examples of a sand dune system in Northern Ireland and is notable for several reasons, including its extent and largely unmodified nature, the wide range of plant and animal communities present, and the number of rare vascular and bryophyte species, including the Variegated Horsetail (Equisetum variegatum). No other Northern Ireland site has as great a number of dune grassland and dune slack plant communities. Several notable invertebrate species and communities also occur here, particularly in the dune slacks.

The system extends along a substantial portion of the north coast of Northern Ireland, and is an internationally recognised classical beach-ridge cuspate foreland with active prograding dunes (which also presents a detailed record of Holocene sea-level changes). It is the largest and most intensively studied coastal accumulation site in Ireland and amongst the top such localities in Europe.

European priority interest(s): 1. Fixed dunes with herbaceous vegetation (“grey dunes”) • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Dune grassland. This species-rich habitat includes a broad range of dune grasslands where the dunes are stable. The exact nature of the vegetation depends on grazing, the degree of stability, and the amount of lime in the sand. Species commonly found include sand sedge Carex arenaria, red fescue Festuca rubra, and lady’s bedstraw Galium verum.

European interest(s): 2. Dunes with Salix repens ssp. argentea (Salicion arenariae) • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Dunes with creeping willow. Seasonally wet hollows in dune systems, known as slacks, in which creeping willow Salix repens ssp. argentea is abundant. On some drier dune slacks creeping willow occurs with many grasses and herbs growing beneath it, such as Yorkshire fog Holcus lanatus, common bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus, red fescue Festuca rubra and glaucous sedge Carex flacca.

3. Humid dune slacks • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Humid dune slacks. These are seasonally wet hollows in dune systems. The vegetation forms a short turf in which mosses and liverworts are often abundant, with small grasses, herbs and sedges. This habitat can also include some more permanently wet areas that support wet heath and swamp vegetation. Dune slacks are a rare habitat and may support rare species, such as variegated horsetail Equisetum variegatum and fen orchid Liparis loeselii. Humid dune slacks are found more frequently in northern and western parts of the UK.

4. Embryonic shifting dunes • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 1000 hectares. • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Shifting dunes. These are low dunes that develop along the upper shore above the high tide line. Only a few plant species are able to survive in these conditions, such as sand couch Elymus farctus, lyme-grass Leymus arenarius, sea sandwort Honckenya peploides and sea rocket Cakile maritima.

156


5. Euphydryas (Eurodryas, Hypodryas) aurinia • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Marsh fritillary butterfly. The marsh fritillary butterfly frequents damp meadows and, more rarely, chalk grassland, where its larvae feed on devil’s-bit scabious Succisa pratensis. It has declined and is now extinct from the eastern half of its former range in the UK (except where it has been reintroduced) and has shown a similar decline throughout Europe. The UK, Ireland and the Iberian peninsula are now its most important strongholds.

6. Petalophyllum ralfsii • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Petalwort. A rare liverwort of short, compacted turf in damp coastal dune slacks which has a scattered distribution around the UK coast. Although it occurs throughout Mediterranean and western Europe, it is rare and declining everywhere and the UK may now be its stronghold. Some sites are known to support hundreds or even many thousands of plants.



Main Valley Bogs cSAC The Main Valley Bogs include three active raised bogs that occur as part of a complex along the valley of the River Main. Although pool development on each of the component bogs is limited, they all display the classic dome formation with hummocks and hollows. The hummock-forming bog-mosses Sphagnum fuscum and S. imbricatum occur on each of the bogs and the nationally rare S. pulchrum is abundant in places. One of the most important features of the central bog is the unbroken bog-to-lagg transition, which is the most extensive and least-disturbed in Northern Ireland.

European priority interest(s): 1. Active raised bogs • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Active raised bogs. These bogs generally have the appearance of a gentlysloping raised mound within the landscape. They consist of a deep accumulation of waterlogged peat and a surface covered by a living layer of plants. As the surface of the bog is raised above the local water table the only

Subtle variation of these conditions controls the distribution of the species and this creates the distinctively undulating and often colourful pattern characteristic of the bog surface. The UK and Ireland hold a large proportion of the total extent of active raised bog in the European Union.

North Antrim Coast cSAC The site is centred on the Giant’s Causeway but extends from near Runkerry Strand in the west to White Park Bay in the east. The dominant features are the high basalt cliffs and associated habitat that extend from the west of the site to beyond Dunseverick Castle and the high chalk cliffs that back White Park Bay. The latter supports a range of dune and grassland communities, while a variety of grasslands are found along the active cliff series and areas of abandoned sea-stacks and cliffs. Heath communities are found along the cliff top in places while deeper peats and associated habitats are found inland.

2. Species-rich Nardus grassland, on siliceous substrates in mountain areas (and submountain areas in continental Europe)

• For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Species-rich grassland with mat-grass in upland areas. Swards of mat-grass Nardus stricta are frequently found in upland areas on acid soils, but on mildly base-rich soils the sward can be particularly species-rich with mixtures of grasses, small herbs, mosses and liverworts. At high altitude, arctic-alpine species are frequently found, and alpine lady’s-mantle Alchemilla alpina and thyme Thymus praecox may be abundant. Within the European Union species-rich Nardus grasslands are rare outside the UK and Ireland.

European interest(s): 3. Annual vegetation of drift lines • Which is considered to be rare as its total extent in the United

Kingdom is estimated to be less than 100 hectares. • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Annual vegetation of drift lines. This habitat occurs along the strandlines of shingle beaches. It consists of a small number of highly specialised plants that

4. Atlantic salt meadows (Glauco-Puccinellietalia maritimae) • For which the area is considered to support a significant presence. Atlantic salt meadows. This habitat encompasses saltmarsh vegetation containing perennial flowering plants that are regularly inundated by the sea. The species found in these saltmarshes vary according to the duration and frequency of flooding with seawater, geographical location and grazing intensity. Salt-tolerant species, such as common saltmarsh-grass Puccinellia maritima, sea aster Aster tripolium and sea arrowgrass Triglochin maritima, are particularly characteristic of the habitat.



6. Vegetated sea cliffs of the Atlantic and Baltic coasts • For which this is considered to be one of the best areas in the United

Kingdom. Vegetated sea cliffs. These are sea cliffs that are at least partially covered by vegetation, the nature of which varies considerably depending on cliff geology, erosion, geographical location, and the degree of exposure to wind and salt spray. Plant species may include rock sea-spurrey Spergularia rupicola, thrift Armeria maritima, and rock samphire Crithmum maritimum (in the south and west), or Scots lovage Ligusticum scoticum (in the north). Many cliff sites support a number of rare or uncommon plant species. In some exposed areas the vegetation on the cliff-tops grades into maritime heathland, grassland and scrub which form an integral part of the cliff habitat.

Rathlin Island cSAC This site, situated off the north coast of Northern Ireland, includes well developed examples of both partly submerged and submerged caves and overhangs in limestone and basalt in a strong tidal stream. Submerged caves occur mainly at depths ranging from 20 to over 100 m. The site has a rich assemblage of sponges and hydroids. Species found include sponges such as Syrphnus ponderosus and Dericitus bucklandi and the anemones Sagartia elegans, Parazoanthus axinellae and P. anguicomus, which are frequent. The site is used by cave-breeding grey seals Halichoerus grypus.

Sites of National Nature Conservation Importance

Areas of Special Scientific Interest

Aghanloo Wood ASSI Declared Date 19/3/2004 Confirmed Date Not yet confirmed Council Area Limavady Borough Council Area 91.35ha

Aghanloo is important because it is one of the largest continuous blocks of ancient woodland in Northern Ireland and boasts an extremely wide range of plant species. Although the canopy is relatively low there is a long history of woodland cover in the area; this is indicated by the presence of such rare plants as the birds nest orchid.

In the northern half of the wood where conditions are dryer, Hazel dominates, with Ash as the main standard. Willow is dominant in the stream gullies and on the lower slopes. Downy Birch, Common Cherry, and Sessile Oak are also present with Hawthorn and Blackthorn forming the majority of the shrub layer. On the ground, a wide variety of flowering plants are present along with grasses, sedges, ferns and mosses.

Altikeeragh ASSI Declared Date 18/3/99 Confirmed Date 27/10/99 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 180.5ha

An area of intact blanket bog within a large expanse of modified peatland.The site comprises an area of typical blanket bog vegetation, with an extensive upland raised dome. The well developed pool and hummock complex associated with the dome is the main feature of the site. Areas of cutover bog

161


provide habitat diversity. Notable species include the hummock-forming Sphagnum imbricatum. The bog also provides habitat for upland birds.

Altmover Glen ASSI Declared Date 22/11/93 Confirmed Date 27/4/94 Council Area Limavady DC Area 31ha

The Altmover Glen was formed by the Wood Burn River. Both sides of the Glen are covered by a band of mature acid Oak woodland, which merge with a more base-rich Ash/Hazel woodland on the lower flushed slopes which in turn merges wet Alder/Willow woodland of the waterlogged valley bottom . The mature canopy is dominated by sessile oak Quercus petraea, while Downey Birch Betula pubescens and Rowan Sorbus aucuparia are the main associates. The understorey is dominated by Hazel Corylus avellana and Holly Ilex aquifolium. The ground flora is dominated by Greater Wood-rush Luzula Sylavatica, Bilbury Vaccinium myrtillus, Wood Sorrel Oxalis acetosella and Bryophytes.

Ballycastle Coalfield ASSI Declared Date 16/12/97 Confirmed Date 30/7/98 Council Area Moyle DC Area 68.4ha

Ballycastle Coalfield is the best exposure of a coalfield sequence in Ireland. It contains a series of Carboniferous sedimentary rocks (335-330 million years old) with contemporary lavas and younger Tertiary igneous rocks (60 M.y.). The sedimentary rocks were deposited in a shallow marine bay which gradually developed into a vegetated coastal swamp subject to periodic flooding by the sea. The vegetation was preserved as seams of coal. Fossils that have been found include goniatites (shellfish), fish remains, giant clubmosses and arthropod insects. The Tertiary dykes have metamorphosed the carboniferous shales to produce porcellanite and a range of minerals.The site also contains evidence of early industrial activity: the coals and iron ores were mined between the 16th and 19th centuries.The underlying geology and the spoil heaps give rise to both base rich and acidic habitats, including wet grassland, base-rich flushes and maritime heath. Limited saltmarsh occurs on some of the beaches.

Banagher Glen ASSI Declared Date 7/3/97 Confirmed Date 28/9/98 Council Area Limavady DC Area 94ha

Banagher Glen is the largest intact block of semi-natural woodland in Northern Ireland, as well as being the finest example of calcifuge oak woodland. The site has a history of continuous woodland cover, with the

162


present woodland being over 200 years old; having being extensively cleared in the 1770s. A complex underlying geology has resulted in a notable diversity of plant community types that form this wood. The woodland communities range from strongly calcifuge types characterised by Sessile Oak Quercus petraea canopy and a ground flora of bryophytes and grasses; through to a flushed or calcicolous types dominated by Ash Fraxinus excelsior and a lush ground cover of Wood Anemone Anemone nemorosa, Opposite Leaved golden Saxifrage Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, Lesser Celandine Ranunculus ficaria and Bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta. The woodland also supports some faunal interest with notable breeding birds such as peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus, Wood Warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix and Redstart Phoenicurus phoenicurus as well as badgers Meles meles and Red Squirrel Sciurus vulgaris.

Bann Estuary ASSI Declared Date 12/10/00 Confirmed Date 14/2/01 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 347.9ha

Bann Estuary incorporates a series of sand dune systems which together with the lowest section of the River Bann, are part of the same physiological unit that has evolved over the last 6,000 years.

The study of the dune sediments provides information critical to understanding sea-level history in the area and the development stages and processes in the evolution of temperate dune soils. Biological interest relates to the complex mosaic of habitat types associated with the diverse morphology and soils of the dune systems. These include embryo dunes bound together by Sand Couch Elytrigia juncea and extensive areas of white dune, which are dominated by Marram Ammophila arenaria. The grey dune complex includes a number of damp hollows and blow-outs and supports an array of plant and animal communities including rare and unusual species. The oldest dunes consist of a short-grazed sward, which supports the rare Shepherd’s Cress Teesdalia nudicaulis. Saltmarsh associated with the river estuary and rich fen communities to the east of the Pottagh River support an array of plant species. In addition, the woodland at Kilcranny provides additional habitat diversity. Bann Estuary is used by significant numbers of passage and wintering waders and wildfowl and is also important for breeding species including Shelduck, Redshank, Snipe and Lapwing.

Binevenagh ASSI Declared Date 24/7/00 Confirmed Date 4/1/01 Council Area Limavady DC Area 90.8ha

The area is of special scientific interest because of its geological and geomorphological features, its cliff vegetation, grasslands (in particular herbrich calcicolous grassland), bryophyte-rich scree, rare plants, bryophytes and

163


fungi. Binevenagh is an important outcrop of basalt, providing a fuller understanding of the development and age of the Antrim Lava Group as a whole. The well-defined flow units and pahoehoe surfaces are among the best examples seen anywhere within the basalt plateau. Mass movement during late- or post-glacial times has resulted in large slipped masses of basalt. The cliffs at Binevenagh have a unique assemblage of arctic-alpine plants and bryophytes, including Mountain Avens Dryas octopetala, Purple Saxifrage Saxifraga oppositifolia and Tortula princeps, a vulnerable moss typical of slightly base-rich conditions on friable basalt. The grassland below the cliff is typically dominated by Festuca spp., and Common Bent Agrostis capillaris with herbs such as Heath Bedstraw Galium saxatile and Tormentil Potentilla erecta. These grasslands are nationally important for fungi, particularly waxcaps (Hygrocybe). Hygrocybe punicea, H. pratensis, and H. coccinea regularly fruit in large numbers during late autumn. Dry, calcareous grassland also occurs with fine-leaved grasses, sedges and herbs dominating the sward. Wild Thyme Thymus polytrichus, Eyebright Euphrasia officinalis agg. and Harebell Campanula rotundifolia are all frequent, with species such as Field Gentian Gentianella campestris and Thyme Broomrape Orobanche alba more notable.

Bovevagh ASSI Declared Date 27/6/95 Confirmed Date 20/12/95 Council Area Limavady DC Area 5.7ha

Bovevagh is an early Midlandian prograded glaciomarine delta including a fossiliferous sediment sequence. It is unique in Ireland and has important palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic implications for Quaternary research in northwestern Europe.

Breen Wood ASSI Declared Date 13/2/97 Confirmed Date 31/7/97 Council Area Moyle DC Area 36ha

Breen Wood is a semi-natural, acid woodland dominated by mature Oak and Downy Birch. As a consequence of glaciation, a series of dry ridges and narrow valleys provides different environmental conditions across the site. These conditions are reflected in the character of the wood which ranges from mature stands with a well-developed structure on the ridges, to low, scrubby stands in the valley bottoms. Species composition reflects the acid conditions. These include Holly and Rowan in the understorey, Bilberry in the field layer with Great Wood-rush frequently dominating the ground flora. The rare moss Hylocomium umbratum has been recorded, its only known location in Northern Ireland. There is a natural transition from woodland to heath to the west of the site. Breeding birds include the rare Wood Warbler and notable Pied Flycatcher as well as a rich mixture of other passerines and raptors. Mammals include Red Squirrel and Otter.

Caldanagh Bog ASSI Declared Date 16/10/96 Confirmed Date 6/3/97 Council Area Ballymoney DC Area 35.5ha

A compact lowland raised bog within the River Main series displaying a classic domed profile with minimal turf cutting around the periphery. An area of intact lagg along the north-eastern edge of the bog represents one of the most important features of the site. The intact surface supports a moderately well developed hummock/hollow complex and the surface of the bog is exceptionally wet supporting a dense and diverse cover of Sphagnum mosses. Of particular note, the nationally rare Sphagnum pulchrum is abundant in the hollows and the notable hummock-forming mosses S. imbricatum and S fuscum both occur.

Some of the peripheral peats have been cut for turf in the past with vegetation communities ranging from deep artificial pools to Molinia caerulea dominated grassland. The overall diversity of Caldanagh Bog is enhanced by a small esker ridge to the south-west, where the vegitation is dominated by a heath and grassland mosaic. The notable Burnet-saxifrage Pimpinella saxifraga grows on this esker ridge.

Carn/Glenshane Pass ASSI Declared Date 29/3/00 Confirmed Date 21/9/00 Council Area Coleraine BC & Limavady DC Area 1938.8ha

Carn/Glenshane Pass represents a very large area of upland blanket bog, much of which remains intact. Located within the Sperrin Mountains, it is one of the few remaining areas of extensive intact blanket bog within this region of Northern Ireland. The area is characterised by undulating topography and exhibits a number of notable structural features. These include a large, welldeveloped hummock and pool system and extensive eroding hagg complexes within a thick mantle of blanket peat. Ericoid dwarfshrubs and sedges dominate the blanket bog vegetation over a carpet of Sphagnum bog mosses. The site includes rare and unusual plant species. On steeper slopes, where peat deposits are thinner, blanket bog forms a mosaic with wet heath. These slopes frequently give way to flushed grassland with poor-fen vegetation developing at their base. Bog-sedge (Carex limosa) and the notable Dioecious Sedge (C. dioica) is found in the most species rich flushes. Dry heath dominated by Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) occurs on the driest slopes forming a mosaic with scattered stands of upland grassland. These habitats add diversity to this large, upland area which supports an array of associated plant and animal communities including Breeding Red Grouse.

165


Carrick-a-Rede ASSI Declared Date 30/10/96 Confirmed Date 13/3/97 Council Area Moyle DC Area 17.9ha

The island of Carrick-a-rede and the adjoining mainland represent a section through a volcano which exploded during the Tertiary period 60 million years ago. Volcanic ash and rock debris fill the vent. Later, during a quieter period of volcanic activity, veins of dolerite were intruded into the rocks. The limestone cliffs contain one exceptional raised sea cave which has the only known example of speleotherm development within the Ulster white limestone. The cliff tops habitats include maritime grassland, acid heath and chalk grassland. The site is home to two rare snails, the wrinkled snail and the heath snail, and breeding birds including twites, kittiwakes, guillemots and razorbills.

Craigahulliar ASSI Declared Date 10/3/98 Confirmed Date 6/11/98 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 2.7ha

The features of geological interest in Craigahulliar are a result of the volcanic activity experienced by this region during the Tertiary period, some 60 million years ago. The site is particularly important for the diversity of basaltic and related rock type and include the lower of the Interbasaltic 'red beds' and the first flows of the Causeway Basalts. The former has associated lignite beds with preserved macrofossils, while the latter occurs in a number of textures representing diverse cooling environments both on land and in or close to water. A range of unusual minerals are present together with notable lava cooling features such as columnar basalts, chisel marks and blister surfaces.

Dunloy Bog ASSI Declared Date 29/12/88 Confirmed Date 19/7/89 Council Area Ballymoney DC Area 108ha

Dunloy Bog contains one of the largest remaining areas of undamaged lowland raised bog in Northern Ireland. Despite turf cutting around the margins and recent burning the bog still retains a large intact dome, with a well developed hummock / hollow complex. In unburned areas extensive Sphagnum lawns are found. The rare mosses Sphagnum fuscum and S. imbricatum occur in the hummocks. The most important feature of Dunloy bog is the unbroken transition from bog to lagg, the most extensive and least disturbed bog-to-lagg transition in Northern Ireland. Also of interest is the esker along the western edge, which is of geomorphological and botanical interest. It contains a contrasting area of unimproved grassland and heath. Several notable plant species occur. These include Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) and Cowberry ( Vaccinium Vitus –idaea ).

Garron Plateau ASSI Declared Date 31/5/94 Confirmed Date 21/11/94 Council Area Moyle DC (part of) Area 4650ha

The Garron Plateau is the largest area of blanket bog in Northern Ireland. The peatland complex is comprised of a series of raised and flushed peat bog units, and a number of oligotrophic water bodies, all within the enveloping blanket bog peat mantle.

The peatland supports an array of associated floral and faunal communities, including a number of rare and notable plant and animal species, and a diverse upland breeding bird population. The blanket bog exhibits a number of notable features such as large well developed hummock and lawn complexes, pool complexes and eroding hagg complexes, in addition to quaking bogs and saddle mires

The site is rich in rare and notable plants including; Narrow-leaved Marshorchid (Dactylorhiza traunsteineri), Bog Orchid (Hammarbya paludosa), Marsh Saxifrage (Saxifraga hirculus), Few-flowered Sedge (Carex pauciflora) and Alpine Clubmoss (Diphasiastrum alpinum). Several types of upland and base poor lakes occur on the plateau. The marginal lake vegetation around most of the lakes tends to be sparse, consisting of a scattered swamp and poor acid fen fringe. The site supports a wide variety of insects including the rare ground beetle Bembidion geniculatum, which is recorded for only one other location in Ireland.

A large breeding population of Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus) is found on the plateau, along with a few pairs of Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) and Dunlin (Calidris alpina), while Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) are frequently found on the site in the summer. The plateau also provides good hunting ground for Merlin (Falco columbarius), Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) and to a lesser degree Buzzard (Buteo buteo) and Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus), while Ravens (Corvus corax) are frequently found scavenging on carrion.

Garry Bog ASSI Declared Date 20/3/87 Confirmed Date 14/10/87 Council Area Ballymoney DC Area 121ha

This site is important as it contains one of the largest remaining areas of undamaged lowland raised bog in Northern Ireland. The site is especially important for its partially intact lagg, its extensive well-patterned pool system, and its high cover of Sphagnum species, including abundant hummocks of Sphagnum imbricatum and S. fuscum. The nationally rare S. pulchrum is a prominent 'pool edge' species, and is thought to occur here in greater abundance than on any other site in Northern Ireland.

167


Garry Bog Part 2 ASSI Declared Date 10/7/96 Confirmed Date 20/12/96 Council Area Ballymoney DC Area 32.5ha

This site lies adjacent to Garry Bog ASSI . The intact surface displays a small pool complex with moderate hummock and hollow development supporting a number of rare species.

The Garry Bog system is internationally significant for peat stratigraphy which displays a classic sucession from clay and lake muds , through reed swamp and wood peats to raised bog peats . Recently volcanic glass shards (tephra) have been identified in the peat column, permitting more reliable correlation of the peat stratigraphy.

Giants Causeway and Dunseverick ASSI Declared Date 25/2/00 Confirmed Date 11/7/00 Council Area Moyle DC Area 226.3ha

The Giant’s Causeway is the most renowned geological site in Northern Ireland and has a truly international reputation. It is particularly important for its role in early debates on the origin of igneous rocks and is famous for its columnar basalts and associated materials. In addition, the Causeway Coast has representative Lower, Interbasaltic and Upper Basalt Formations relating to the three main eruption series in the Atlantic Ocean between 53-65 million years ago. The area is also important for its Zeolite mineralogy. The Causeway area is notable for its maritime cliff communities and also includes wet and dry heath, and species-rich grasslands. Closer to the shore, plant communities include saltmarsh and fen. The coast is also important for intertidal communities. A number of notable plant species have been recorded. These include Oysterplant Mertensia maritima, a notable shoreline species and Saltmarsh Flat-sedge Blysmus rufus. This diverse site supports a rich invertebrate assemblage with a number of notable species, including snails, craneflies and weevils. Both breeding and wintering birds are also important for the site, with significant populations of breeding Fulmar and Black Guillemot and most notably, breeding Chough.

Glenariff ASSI Declared Date 15/4/87 Confirmed Date 26/10/87 Council Area Moyle DC Area 66ha

This is the largest area of undisturbed semi-natural woodland on a basalt escarpment in Co. Antrim. It also contains streams, waterfalls, scree slopes and cliffs with associated scarce plant species. The site extends along part of steep basalt escarpment of Glenarriff Glen below Crochalough. It includes a

168


length of cliff and adjoining pockets of scree, some calcareous grassland on the upper slopes and the largest remaining undisturbed stand of ash/hazel woodland in Co. Antrim.

Lough Foyle ASSI Declared Date 20/7/98 Confirmed Date 22/1/99 Council Area Limavady DC (part of) Area 2005ha

Lough Foyle is of particular interest because of its physiography, flora and fauna. The site includes the whole of the intertidal area, the area above HWM (upper beach area), some sections of the backshore and the mouths of a number of tributary rivers. The physiographical interest relates to various active coastal processes which occur on both the intertidal and upper beach areas of the shore, in the river and in the saltmarsh environments. These processes include the development of shell and gravel ridges, saltmarsh pans, drainage creeks and sand spits.

The fauna of Lough Foyle includes a large and diverse population of waders and other bird species and regularly supports a wintering bird assemblage of over 5,000 waterfowl. A five year mean of 38,878 waterfowl has recently been recorded. Four over wintering species of bird occur in sufficient numbers within the ASSI, which qualifies them as internationally important. They are Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus), Light-bellied Brent Goose (Branta bernicla hrota), Wigeon (Anas penelope) and Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) Three other species which have been recorded in numbers large enough to qualify them as significant in an all-Ireland context are Eider (Somateria mollissima), Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) and Pintail (Anas acuta). Along the shore there are large stands of saltmarsh vegetation which display a sequence of community types. Brackish dikes behind the shore support a community of maritime aquatic and swamp vegetation which includes the rare Reflexed Saltmarsh Grass (Puccinellia distans) and the Spiral Tasselweed (Ruppia cirrhosa). The intertidal area comprises extensive mudflats supporting a large community of Common Mussel (Mytilus edulis) and Eelgrass (Zostera spp) beds. Both Zostera angustifolia and Zostera noltii are found here making the beds the fourth largest colony of Zostera spp. in Ireland.

Atlantic Salmon use the estuary as a migratory route to and from their spawning grounds. The estuary regularly sustains a small breeding colony of Common Seals (Phoca vitulina), while Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus) will occasionally haul out along the shore.

Magilligan ASSI Declared Date 28/11/94 Confirmed Date 31/5/95 Council Area Coleraine BC, Limavady DC Area 1069ha

169


Magilligan is one of the best examples of a sand dune system in Northern Ireland and is notable for several reasons, including its extent and largely unmodified nature, the wide range of plant and animal communities present, and the number of rare vascular and bryophyte species, including the Variegated Horsetail (Equisetum variegatum). No other Northern Ireland site has as great a number of dune grassland and dune slack plant communities. Several notable invertebrate species and communities also occur here, particularly in the dune slacks. The system extends along a substantial portion of the north coast of Northern Ireland, and is an internationally recognised classical beach-ridge cuspate foreland with active prograding dunes (which also presents a detailed record of Holocene sea-level changes). It is the largest and most intensively studied coastal accumulation site in Ireland and amongst the top such localities in Europe. Ornithological interest includes Great Northern Diver (Gavia immer), Red-throated Diver (G. stellata), Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle) and Sanderling (Calidris alba). Little Tern (Sterna albifrons) have previously bred at Magilligan Point and it is hoped that they will return.

Portballintrae ASSI Declared Date 24/7/95 Confirmed Date 20/12/95 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 1.4ha

This is a coastal site of geological interest. The cliff exposure of glaciomarine, nearshore and raised beach deposits reflects an isostatically controlled, emergent shoreline.

Ramore Head and the Skerries ASSI Declared Date 27/11/96 Confirmed Date 29/5/97 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 22.7ha

An intrusion of Tertiary dolerite has pushed into shales of Jurassic (Lower Lias) age, producing a fine grained, dark rock known as hornfels, which contains abundant fossils, particularly ammonities. This is the site of an historic geological argument about the origin of basaltic rocks. Evidence from this site supported the theory that basalt is formed from cooled volcanic lava. In addition, Portrush sill is an unusually complex layered intrusion. Locally important breeding populations of Kittiwake, Black Guillemot and Eider.

Rathlin Island – Ballycarry ASSI Declared Date 16/9/91 Confirmed Date 26/3/92 Council Area Moyle DC Area 43ha

The area is of special scientific interest because of its heath and wetland vegetation. The site occupies a relatively flat plateau on the Lower Basalt rock

170


to the north-east of the island. A series of depressions and troughs form a number of small wetlands, interconnected by low-lying channels and flushes. Exposure to wind and salt have produced a characteristic assemblage of plants. The vegetation over much of the area is dominated by the sub-shrubs Heather Calluna vulgaris, Bell Heather Erica cinerea and Western Gorse Ulex gallii, which together form a distinctive dwarf-heath community. This vegetation type is restricted in its distribution within the British Isles, and Rathlin represents its most northerly known location. Maritime species such as Sea Pink Armeria maritima, Sea Plantain Plantago maritima and Sea Campion Silene maritima become more frequent in the vicinity of the cliff edge, where the peat soils are very thin and exposure reduces the vigor of the main heath species. Moss and lichen cover is high in this area. Small depressions are poorly drained and contain wet heath vegetation. The site also supports a large number of large and small flooded hollows form peatbottomed lakes and ponds.

Rathlin Island – Ballygill North ASSI Declared Date 16/9/91 Confirmed Date 26/3/92 Council Area Moyle DC Area 78ha

The area is of special scientific interest because of the complex pattern of heath and associated habitats, which form a mosaic of vegetation within a varied topography of plateaux and valleys. The plateaux contain a dry dwarfheath community on shallow peat soils and are dominated by Heather Calluna vulgaris, Bell Heather Erica cinerea and Western Gorse Ulex gallii. This distinctive type of heath is restricted in its distribution within the British Isles, with Rathlin being the most northerly site known.

Surface depressions have impeded drainage and are covered by a mixture of wet heath and acid grassland. Many of the slopes are flushed by mineral rich waters and are dominated by sedges. Troughs and valley bottoms contain a range of wetland communities with a large number of wetland species.

Rathlin Island – Kinramer South ASSI Declared Date 16/9/91 Confirmed Date 26/3/92 Council Area Moyle DC Area 25ha

This area of rathlin Island was declared an ASSI for the population of Pyramidal Bugal (Ajuga pyramidalis) which is very rare in the British Isles. This is the only population in Northern Ireland, and there are only a few other populations in Ireland. The species is associated with the unimproved acid grassland pasture which occurs at the base of the basalt rock outcrops.

171


Rathlin Island Coast ASSI Declared Date 16/9/91 Confirmed Date 26/3/92 Council Area Moyle DC Area 257ha

The coastal ASSI is of particular interest because of the wide variety of habitats and associated flora and fauna. These habitats include features such as high isolated sea cliffs and sea stacks, maritime grassland, saltmarsh areas and a wide range of intertidal features. These formations include vertical cliffs and shores of both boulder and shingle. There are also wave cut platforms on both chalk and basalt. The geological exposures of columnar basalt rock and other physical formations associated with such coastal conditions are also of importance.

In summer, the sea cliffs and sea stacks provide nesting sites for a variety of species of seabirds. There are three species of breeding seabird whose numbers reach internationally important numbers. These are Guillemots (Uria aalge), Razorbills (Alca torda) and Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla). Northern Ireland’s largest population of Puffin (Fratercula arctica) breed among the grassy slopes of the cliff ledges. Other species that are important in an all-Ireland context include an unusually high density of raptors. The raptors use the cliffs as nesting sites and species present include the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) with 6 breeding pairs and the Buzzard (Buteo buteo) 8 breeding pairs. The Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) used to breed within the ASSI boundary.

The caves and rocks around the shoreline of the ASSI are used by Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus) as haul out and resting sites. Some uncommon and rare plant species occur in the coastal strip including Scots Lovage (Ligusticum scoticum), Juniper (Junipenus communis), Roseroot (Rhodiola rosea) and Oyster Plant (Mertensia maritima).

Towards the south and the east, the coastline is much more gently sloping. This has given rise to areas of maritime grassland and flushes. Small developing saltmarshes are widespread here and the rare Saltmarsh Flatsedge (Blysmus rufus) is found.

Runkerry ASSI Declared Date 20/1/99 Confirmed Date 19/8/99 Council Area Coleraine BC & Moyle DC Area 24.1ha

A beach system of international importance demonstrating beach states from dissipative to reflective. A wide range of rhythmic morphological features are present including beach cusps, rip current channels, longshore rip feeder channels, giant cusps and migratory transverse and crescentic nearshore bars.

172


Sheep Island ASSI Declared Date 27/2/92 Confirmed Date 8/7/92 Council Area Moyle DC Area 3.5ha

The area is of special scientific interest because of the nationally important numbers of breeding Cormorant, belonging to the Northern European Subspecies (Phalacrocorax carbo carbo). In addition, the site regularly supports other breeding sea bird species, including Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis), Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis), Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), Greater Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus), Razorbill (Alca torda), Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle) and Guillemot (Uria aalge).

Tievebulliagh ASSI Declared Date 24/7/95 Confirmed Date 20/12/95 Council Area Moyle DC Area 84.2ha

Tievebulliagh ASSI is a geological site with biological interest. It is internationally important for the interpretation of the mineralogies associated with the thermomorphic conversion of laterite and lithomarge to porcellanite. The ASSI contains a range of upland vegetation communities that are representative of those which are widespread throughout northwest Antrim. These include a range of dry heath, shallow peat and flushed acid grassland habitats. Notable wet grassland species present are Pale Butterwort and Lesser Clubmoss. Breeding peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus have been recorded.

Torr Head ASSI Declared Date 17/10/03 Confirmed Date 14/05/04 Council Area Moyle DC Area 2.8ha

The outcrop at Torr Head includes the best exposure of metamorphosed limestones in Northern Ireland of Dalradian age. Torr head is also the type locality for the Torr Head (Limestone) Formation. The site is of international importance because it is crucial to understanding the correlation with sequences elsewhere in Northern Ireland and in Scotland.

Some 600 million years ago, sediment accumulating within an ancient ocean basin formed rocks, which were incorporated into an enormous mountain chain. The residual core of this range forms the uplands of north east Antrim, as well as the Sperrin Mountains. The burial and deformation of these rocks altered them through the action of both temperature and pressure. In the case of the sequence at Torr Head, both limestone, sandstone and volcanic rocks, the latter formed from cooling magma injected from depth, were metamorphosed and literally turned upside down.

173


Given an absence of fossils in these ancient and deformed rocks, the existence of distinctive units, such as the Torr Head Limestones, permits relationships between associated rocks found here to be compared with those elsewhere.

Tow River Wood ASSI Declared Date 7/8/97 Confirmed Date 26/1/98 Council Area Moyle DC Area 11.7ha

Tow River Wood is one of the best examples of a base-rich woodland in Antrim. It has a well developed, mature structure and is highly variable with a range of woodland plant communities and a rich assemblage of woodland species. The wood lies in the secluded valley of the Tow River. In the lower half, the wood exhibits an unbroken transition from marshl and and wet woodland on the valley floor, through a series of intermediate and flushed woodland types to mature, dry woodland on the upper slopes. This mature woodland consists of a high Oak canopy with occasional Ash and Birch over a well developed understorey and a typically base-rich ground flora. To the south-east of the site, the slopes above the woodland are wet, with speciesrich, acidic marshy grassland. The rare Rough Horsetail (Equisetum hyemale) was recorded for the site.

Tully Hill ASSI Declared Date 27/3/02 Confirmed Date 12/8/02 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 86.7ha

The last Ice Age, 24,000 to 13,000 years ago, changed much of the landscape in Northern Ireland. Landforms and features from this era are important in understanding our glacial history and the events surrounding it. They were created by processes no longer active and so cannot be replaced once destroyed. Along with information from features and landforms in a greater area, Tully Hill near Kilrea helps to explain the nature of ice withdrawal within the Bann valley. Tully Hill is important because it comprises an outstanding example of an undisturbed deglacial landform - a major flattopped delta with associated sand and gravel ridges to the south. These sediment deltas record temporary halts in glacial retreat, whilst the ridge alignment give clues to the direction of ice movement.

West Strand Portrush ASSI Declared Date 17/10/03 Confirmed Date 14/05/04 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 6.22ha

174


A bed of peat containing large fragments of wood, including the stumps and trunks of trees, is infrequently exposed on the West Strand beach at Portrush. The site is important in understanding and dating sea level changes on the north coast in the period since the last Ice age. The lowest buried blown sands are potentially some of the earliest known Holocene (post – glacial) dunes in the British Isles.

The peat developed on earlier (older than 7310 years before present) low sand dunes as a rising sea-level led to restricted drainage and waterlogging. Post 5900 years BP, a beach developed on the peat.

The peat has been shown to change upwards from fen peat into Common Reed peat containing abundant fossil material, especially wood of Alder and Birch.

A borehole put down through the beach near Castle Erin has shown that an even older peat is present some 4.5 m below the beach. The evidence from the borehole confirms that this site can contribute further to our understanding of environmental change since the last Ice Age.

White Park Bay ASSI Declared Date 22/7/96 Confirmed Date 26/2/97 Council Area Moyle DC Area 87.7ha

Situated on the north coast of Co. Antrim, White Park Bay faces north and lies between Port Braddan about 2 km east of Dunseverick Castle, and Dundriff a further 2 km to the east. The area covers 87.74 ha and extends some 400m inland, and has the mean low tide mark as its seaward boundary. The bay comprises a massive land-slipped area backed by high chalk cliffs. Several exposures are well represented, with sea-stacks and natural arches present. White Park Bay is notable for its diverse plant and animal communities, its largely, unmodified nature and the number of rare plants and animals recorded. Common Lizard Lacerta vivipara and Pygmy Shrew Sorex minutus are recorded from the site. Birds using the cliffs for nesting include Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis, House Martin Delichon urbica and Swift Apus apus. Sand Martin Riparia riparia nest in stream banks. Scrub areas are important for breeding passerines.

White Park Bay is notable for its orchids. Eight species have been recorded. The moss Rhodobryum roseum, which is rare in Ireland, is also of interest. Thirteen butterfly species have been recorded.

White Rocks ASSI Declared Date 20/11/97 Confirmed Date 12/5/98 Council Area Coleraine BC Area 16.7ha

175


White Rocks contains the type sections for the Portrush, Ballymagarry and Tanderagee Chalk Members of the Cretaceous Ulster White Limestone Formation. Evidence of Tertiary explosive vent activity with associated agglomerate infill is present. The cliffs themselves are the best example in Ireland of coastal landforms developed in the Ulster White Limestone and include cliff, shore platforms, caves, arches, and sea stacks. A range of typical seacliff plant communities are present while the cliffs also support breeding Black Guillemot and Peregrine Falcon.

Areas of Scientific Interest (ASI )

Loughaveema ASI A number of exposures along the steep sides of the Loughareema glacial overflow channel that include quartz-albite schist, psammite and biotite and hornblende ‘green beds’.

Clontyfinnan ASI Clontyfinnan ASI is an earth science site that is located within the Armoy Moraine. This is a major deglacial complex that is that marks the southern extent of an advance of Scottish ice, which pushed sediments that had previously been deposited by an ice mass centred on Lough Neagh. The moraine is of great importance in reconstructing the chronology of ice front oscillations towards the end of the deglacial cycle and understanding the complexity of deglacial processes.

Glenariff Waterfalls ASI An area of semi-natural woodland along the deep gorge cut through by the Glenariff River with many waterfalls and rapids. The humid conditions of which have resulted in the production of luxuriant bryophyte growth.

Appendix 3B

Landscape Character Areas

29. Sperrin Mountains

Key Characteristics • Broad, rounded ridges with rocky outcrops leading to steep, pointed

summits. • Deep, branching gullies and open, fast-flowing moorland streams. • Carpet of open moorland pasture and heather with extensive bog and

areas of damp grassland on flatter land and lower slopes. • Earthbanks and stone walls follow historic townland boundaries on

lower slopes; some pastures are derelict and infested by scrub and rushes.

• Winding moorland roads and straight tracks leading across contours. • Broadleaf woodland concentrated within lower valleys; some conifer

woodland on mountain slopes. • Isolated barns on upper slopes: clachans and farmsteads in valleys.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Any form of built development would be extremely visually intrusive and

would threaten the intrinsic qualities of this landscape, in particular, its valued sense of wild remoteness.

• The wider landscape setting of archaeological sites is especially sensitive to the impact of built development and should be conserved.

• The use of local stone for new buildings, or for the restoration of older properties is essential to help integrate new development, particularly where it is prominent on lower mountain slopes.

30. Sperrin Foothills

Key Characteristics • Varied landform; typically rounded, dome-shaped hills and deeply

dissected valleys, with a complex, undulating landform. • Steep winding valleys, with waterfalls and dense woodland beside

river. • Diverse landscape pattern with transition from steep wooded valley

sides to brown moorland summits or extensive moss within short distances.

• Hedgerows enclose all fields, becoming gappy with wire fencing on higher land; stone walls in areas of higher land close to the Sperrins.

• Relatively dense tree cover with numerous hedgerow trees and small copses; landscape becomes more open on elevated slopes.

• Dense network of roads and small settlements, with pressures for more development.

263


Principles for Accommodating New Development • The most appropriate location for built development is within existing

settlements, which generally have robust landscape settings; ribbon development is often visually intrusive and may block valley views.

• If new development is carefully sited so that it is sheltered by the natural landform, hedgerow patterns and woodlands, it may be successfully integrated within the complex valley landscapes.

• All potential building sites should be carefully analysed from the opposite side of the valley so that decisions about siting and design take account of the close views from one side of the valley to the other.

33. Lough Foyle Alluvial Plain

Key Characteristics • Flat, alluvial plain backed by a low bench of more resistant rocks. • Parts of coastal plain are reclaimed land, drained by straight drainage

channels and enclosed by coastal embankments. • Farmland patchwork with geometric, structured character. • Large arable fields on coastal margins of reclaimed land; elsewhere

smaller pastures enclosed by low hedgerows. • Few scattered hedgerow trees; most mature trees are clustered around

farms for shelter. • Narrow straight roads on alluvial plain; principal routes are on the

elevated bench backing the alluvial plain. • Evenly spaced farms and linear suburban development; extensive

industrial development on the eastern fringes of Londonderry.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Industrial development which is designed to be relatively low, with

horizontal forms, is best accommodated in the open plain. • The Lough shores should remain open and free from development to

allow views to the water’s edge. • There is a risk that continued ribbon development along the A2 might

form a continuous band, linking the separate settlements of Eglinton, Greysteel and Ballykelly and blurring their distinctive identities.

34. Loughermore Hills

Key Characteristics • Broad ridges with rounded summits and wide, relatively shallow

valleys. • Homogeneous, large-scale mosaic of open moorland and conifer

plantations on upper slopes and summits. • More finely grained mosaic of scrubby woodland, rough pasture and

peaty marsh within larger valleys. • No buildings on upper ridges; a few scattered farms and cottages on

the lower slopes bordering the valley pastures. • Broken stone walls form a partial network on lower slopes. • Derelict buildings. • Peat cutting.

264


Principles for Accommodating New Development • The rural character of the prominent southern slopes of the hills

overlooking the Foreglen River could easily be disrupted by extensive built development; any new buildings should be carefully sited and integrated into the landscape using native trees and existing hedgerows.

• There may be scope for the restoration of derelict buildings and for the re-use of local building materials to convert existing farmsteads into modern dwellings.

35. Magilligan Lowlands

Key Characteristics • Completely flat alluvial plain, dominated by the Binevenagh cliffs. • Rugged sand dune ridges shelter Magilligan Strand. • Homogeneous landscape of rectangular fields subdivided by a grid of

drainage ditches. • Isolated farm buildings reached by straight, embanked tracks branching

at right angles from the main road. • Principal settlements form linear development along main road. • Open, with occasional isolated hedgerows and groups of trees; some

small shelterbelts near farm buildings. • Geometric pattern gives landscape an artificial, engineered character.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • New development, or changes to the landscape pattern, such as the

subdivision of farmland into smaller units, may lead to the erosion of its distinctive landscape character.

• The materials, massing and colour of new farm buildings are visually significant since these elements are so prominent in the wider landscape.

36. Binevenagh

Key Characteristics • Sloping upland basalt plateau ending at a dramatic, cliff-like

escarpment. • Escarpment summits have a distinctive profile and form a sequence of

local landmarks. • Large-scale mosaic of upland moor and extensive conifer plantations. • Open, exposed upland moors, with few native trees or field boundaries. • Rocky outcrops and scree slopes reveal grey basalt rock. • Patchy, textured pattern of moorland grass, heather, rushes and

stunted scrubby bushes.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • New built development requires careful siting and design to integrate

with the historic settlement pattern on lower slopes; it cannot be

265


accommodated on upper slopes, where it might be visible on local skylines.

• The use of local stone will ensure that new buildings are in harmony with the existing historic farmsteads and cottages on the fringes of the ridge.

• There may be scope for conversion of derelict cottages on the eastern slopes of the basalt plateau and for more planting to integrate recent development on prominent slopes in this area.

37. Roe Basin

Key Characteristics • Broad, saucer-shaped valley dominated by basalt escarpment to the

east and the Sperrin Mountains to the south; • River meanders between open, grassy embankments in centre of the

basin, with numerous small, branching tributary streams and small marshy oxbows.

• Small, rounded ridges of glacial moraine. Landform becomes undulating, with deep wooded glens, on margins of the basin.

• Regular, geometric patchwork of medium-sized pastures, with some larger arable fields on well-drained glacial till.

• Fields within basin enclosed by dense, hawthorn hedgerows with numerous, well-spaced hedgerow trees; hedgerows on margins are predominantly gorse.

• Fairly open farmland, with only small blocks of deciduous woodland. • Scattered white-washed farms spaced at regular intervals throughout

the basin; small villages and stone bridges at river crossing points.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Throughout the basin, native tree planting should be used to integrate

new buildings into the surrounding landscape pattern; more extensive woodland planting, linked visually to the Loughermore forests, would be an appropriate means for integrating new development on the relatively open landscapes towards the margins of the basin.

38. Eastern Binevenagh Slopes

Key Characteristics • Low rolling plateau, falling gradually from basalt uplands eastwards

towards the River Bann. • Fairly steep, narrow glens; gullies on higher land to west. • Poor quality pastures with patches of gleyed soils, partially infested

with scrub and rushes. • Gappy hedgerows and broken stone walls. • Fields have angular geometric shapes; size varies with terrain and

elevation. • Numerous scattered dwellings and farms; many derelict buildings. • Few woodlands; mostly in steep valleys on higher land on margins of

basalt upland. • Dense network of straight, narrow lanes and tracks.

266


Principles for Accommodating New Development • There is much scope to restore many existing traditional buildings and

for more widespread use of the local grey basalt as a building material.

• The rolling landform and scattered tree cover allow scope for accommodating development provided it is carefully sited and associated with mass planting of native trees.

39. Glenshane Slopes

Key Characteristics • Broad, rounded ridges with sweeping slopes and rocky outcrops

leading to steep, pointed summits. • Deep, branching gullies and open, fast-flowing moorland streams. • Open moorland wilderness, exposed to the elements, with a gradual

transition to scrub and pasture on the lower eastern slopes. • Carpet of open moorland pasture and heather with extensive bog and

areas of damp grassland on flatter land and lower slopes. • Prominent townland boundaries are visible as earthbanks and stone

walls and form a striking landscape pattern on some slopes. • Winding moorland roads and straight tracks leading across contours. • Scattered buildings on lower moorland slopes; occasional isolated

farms or barns.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • New built development is not appropriate in the remote upland

landscapes of the Glenshane Slopes. However, the transition to the uplands influences the quality of the upland landscape and the scattered, modern bungalows on the lower slopes may detract from the sense of wilderness.

• New development on lower slopes may be integrated by using local stone as the principal building material and by selecting a sheltered site; extensive earth modelling is not appropriate and any new planting should use native species.

• The view from the A6 is particularly important and any new development involving infrastructure, mineral extraction or buildings, should be sited and designed so that it is not visible from this major gateway route.

51. Garvagh Farmland

Key Characteristics • Lowland drumlin landscape with drumlins which are consistently

aligned along a SW-NE axis; land rises and becomes more undulating to the west.

• Drumlins are evenly-sized and create deeply undulating terrain with rounded slopes and a diverse landscape character.

• Winding rivers and numerous streams, with peaty marsh on the floodplain of some smaller rivers.

267


• Fields form an even, geometric patchwork over the drumlins, becoming irregular in shape on the flatter land in between.

• Dense hedgerows, many hedgerow trees and small deciduous woodlands form a diverse pattern; often wire fencing on marginal farmland.

• Numerous scattered farms, typically sited half-way up drumlin slopes; many small settlements concentrated at road junctions.

• Principal routes are straight and deeply undulating, minor roads are tortuous.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Development can be accommodated within this undulating, well treed

landscape although there is a need for sensitive design, appropriate to a rural situation.

• Linear developments, closely spaced along the roads are not characteristic of the area and should be avoided.

• Sites for new development should be subjected to a careful visual analysis, taking account of the wide range of possible views, from different angles, which are typical of this drumlin landscape.

52. Lower Bann Valley

Key Characteristics • Relatively flat, expansive landscape on the lower reaches of large

rivers and fringes of Lough Neagh and Lough Beg. • Shallow drumlins form ‘islands’ surrounded by flat, open pastures; they

have a diverse landscape pattern, with farmsteads and mature trees. • Large open fields on floodplain, often surrounded by straight drainage

ditches. • Some poorly-drained areas within the farmland; large wet woodlands

and bog on more extensive low-lying land. • Extensive ribbon development along straight roads, which often end at

farms towards the fringes of Lough Neagh and Lough Beg. • Mature hedgerow oak trees are prominent features in a well-connected

network of hedgerows. • Belts of mixed woodland are features of the Bann Valley near

Portglenone.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Hedgerow trees, shelterbelts or woodlands may help to integrate new

development, especially large-scale industrial development on flat land. • Red-painted barn roofs are characteristic of the area and may be used

to ensure new farm buildings ‘fit’ with local landscape character. • Siting new development away from the road will ensure that dense

ribbon development does not obscure views across the floodplain.

268


53. Lower Bann Floodplain

Key Characteristics • Flat floodplain of the Lower River Bann; undulating landform towards

outer margins of floodplain. • Numerous winding rivers, with the wide channel of the River Bann at

the centre of the floodplain; • Extensive blocks of wet woodland on the margins of some rivers;

smaller birch woodland on higher land. • Pastures vary in size; some small-scale, linear fields beside rivers. • Large farms with prominent buildings. • Straight roads on embankments across the floodplain.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • New development may be accommodated easily in the landscape if it is

linked to existing clustered settlements at road junctions. • Further ribbon development along roads will block views across the

floodplain and to the rivers.

54. Coleraine Farmland

Key Characteristics • Dramatic rocky coastline with indented broken cliffs of basalt to north of

Coleraine. • Rugged sand dune ridges create a distinctive wild landscape at the

mouth of the Bann. • Linear ridges and valleys, with rocky outcrops and gorse on elevated

land; broader, open lowlands to east of Coleraine. • The River Bann flows in a narrow, wooded valley to the south of

Coleraine. • Long coastal views to the Causeway Coast and to the Bann Estuary. • Long strands.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Small-scale landscape elements, such as an area of undulating

landform, a network of field stone walls and a group of traditional buildings beside a church are important in this relatively large scale landscape and should be carefully conserved, together with their wider landscape setting.

• Woodland planting will create stronger landscape structure and identity in areas where housing is anticipated, particularly in relatively elevated areas, where planting will provide a backdrop to new development.

• The use of local grey basalt for new buildings would reflect tradition and provide a sense of unity.

55. Garry Bog

Key Characteristics • Flat expanse of farmland, carr, heath and conifer plantation.

269


• Medium sized fields used for improved and rough grazing are divided by straight, wet ditches and post and wire fences.

• The area is crossed by the dyked Burn Gushet River and a few straight, embanked and fenced rural roads.

• Sparse grey and white pebbledash houses and bungalows, and large modern farm buildings with big barns; few older cottages.

• Open landscape, long, flat views to surrounding rolling farmland and hills beyond.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • The sensitive location of any new development on higher ground and in

association with woodland or existing buildings will conserve the unsettled character of the area.

• Development in this area would be less intrusive if it is small in scale and associated with woodland or existing buildings and if the traditional white washed or pebbledash finish if used.

• The majority of this wet, low-lying land is unsuitable for development, which must continue to be concentrated on its margins; continuous ribbon development in this area would be detrimental to landscape character and would dominate local views.

56. Dervlock Farmlands

Key Characteristics • Open, rolling intensive farmland crossed by numerous shallow valleys.

Mixed land uses dominated by improved pastures and some arable fields.

• Medium sized regularly shaped fields separated by neatly trimmed hedgerows, fences and some trees. Large area of plantation woodland.

• Scattered small settlements and individual houses, bungalows and farm buildings along edges of straight lanes and up short access tracks.

• White painted two storey traditional buildings, and large new farms with associated long horizontal barns.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Detailed visual analysis would be beneficial before constructing new

large farm buildings, which should be screened by planting. • The retention of the older two storey traditional stone and white painted

dwellings, red roofs and round stone gate posts will help conserve the character of the area.

• Tall and upstanding development would be intrusive in this very open horizontal landscape; wires and poles are already prominent, and more would be visually distracting.

• The use of a variety of different building materials in new developments should be avoided; planting of broadleaved native species would help to integrate them within the landscape.

270


57. Causeway Coast and Rathlin Island

Key Characteristics • High plateau landscape with distinctive rugged coast, stepped profile

and rocky knolls. Coast includes unique formation of the Giant’s Causeway.

• Exposed sheep grazed landscape of windswept trees and broken walls; gorse on rocky knolls separates small fields of rough grazing.

• Rural landscape with villages associated with coastal bays; large, white hotels on cliff tops; modern bungalows; old derelict cottages on knolls.

• Ruined castles on cliff top locations along the coast. Long views are available from elevated areas across the coast and inland.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • The impact of tourists could be minimised through the sensitive design

and location of visitor facilities such as signage, car parks, toilets and visitor centres. The location of hotels and caravan sites, as well as new housing, in less visually prominent positions, set amongst trees or in hollows rather than on exposed cliff-tops is advisable. Such development would be particularly intrusive and should be kept to a minimum.

• Continued expansion of towns and villages focused around coastal bays requires careful visual analysis and planning in order to conserve the . character of existing views. The use of traditional materials - white painted stone or stucco with grey roofs would be least intrusive.

• The conservation and repair of ruined castles would ensure that these distinctive landmarks are retained.

58. Long Mountain Ridge

Key Characteristics • Distinct rounded ridge orientated north-south with undulating side

slopes and a broad rounded crest. • Pastoral farmland with strong hedgeline geometry and numerous trees;

patches of moss on the exposed ridge top, especially towards the north.

• Wooded estates, with distinctive buildings, designed landscapes and avenues of beech on lower slopes overlooking the River Main valley.

• Settlements and houses frequent and regularly distributed, often on raised areas; more numerous on ridge sides, but rarely a dominant feature.

• Scale varies considerably; large at bottom in flat, open terrain, medium to small on intricate, undulating sides and vast at the top.

• Distant elevated views into lowlands and across to other ridges.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Houses in promontory locations may provide a focus for views but

should be carefully designed; sheltered locations are more appropriate.

271


• Development should be concentrated in small clusters on the ridge top to establish a community identity and retain its open, undeveloped character.

• Use of tree shelter will help to blend houses with the landscape and enhance the woodland structure of the landscape.

• Large windfarms are inappropriate in this landscape, but small groups of turbines may create visual interest on the ridge tops. Occasional telecommunication masts may also be accommodated.

59. Cullybackey and Clogh Mills Drumlins

Key Characteristics • Distinctive rounded drumlins on the valley floor and surrounding low

ridges, aligned in a north west to south east direction. • Hedgerows and open stone walls along field boundaries emphasise the

undulating landform. Mature hedgerow trees stand out as silhouettes on top of the mounds.

• Small-scale field pattern varies according to the scale of the local landform; the scale generally increases to the edges of the valley.

• Farms display a variety of building styles and are scattered randomly across the hills.

• Roads follow landform, rising smoothly over and winding around the drumlins.

• Archaeological remains, including raths and mottes.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Control of multiple building styles will avoid the proliferation of buildings

which are out of character or scale with the landscape. • The undulating landform may provide opportunities to accommodate

new development, particularly in areas with a robust network of hedgegrows.

• Avoidance of sensitive historic and riverside locations will ensure that the setting of the Clogh River and its landscape features are conserved.

118. Moyle Moorlands And Forests

Key Characteristics • Open upland reaching 550m at Trostan. Large scale, smooth moorland

landscape dissected by small rocky burns. • Rough grazing of unimproved grassland and heather; extensive areas

of blanket bog. • Extensive and prominent conifer plantations on lower hillslopes. • Exposed landscape with few roads or settlements; scattered farms on

edges of the uplands. • Archaeological features are a characteristic of the summits. Extensive

views are available across open moorland and to coast.

272


Principles for Accommodating New Development • Wind farms, radio-masts and reservoirs are the main types of

development likely to affect these upland areas. Careful siting and design would be required to ensure that the resulting visual and noise impacts do not damage the character of the area, or the landscapes of the Antrim Glens, for which they are a backdrop.

• New buildings in this upland landscape would be out of character and difficult to conceal, except within or at the fringes of forestry areas. The retention of trees around developments when the forests are felled would ensure their continued assimilation into the landscape.

• The restoration of some of the derelict traditional farm houses on the fringes of the area would be preferable to new development.

119. Ballycastle Glens

Key Characteristics • Scenic river valleys and attractive rocky rivers enclosed by smooth,

rounded hills. • Undulating glen slopes support rough and improved pastures bounded

by hedgerows which include gorse. • Roads follow glen sides linking traditional white farmsteads and newer

large farm buildings. • Coastal town of Ballycastle occupies the mouth of the glens, within a

sheltered bay. • Historic remains including mottes, crosses, raths and standing stones

are features.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • The use of traditional materials and styles in new buildings is

recommended: small scale stone or white painted stucco with painted red or slate roofs are characteristic. Visual analysis should be carried out before the construction of large new barns, which should always be sheltered by trees. There is minimal scope for new development without altering the landscape character.

• The restoration of old buildings is preferable to the construction of new. Round gate posts are special distinctive features which should be conserved and reflected in new buildings.

120. Fair Head

Key Characteristics • Narrow coastal strip on the northern slopes of the Antrim Plateau. • Dramatic cliffs with igneous intrusions giving rise to prominent

headlands and sheltered bays. • Small scale rough pastures and rocky moorland cling to the steep

coastal edge. • Degraded round stoned walls and derelict stone farmhouses. • Historic features are important on Fair Head. • Coastal road winds precariously along the cliff edge linking, small stone

cottages with dramatic seaward views.

273


Principles for Accommodating New Development • The management of tourism related pressure such as the erosion of

roadsides and paths, and the demand for car parking is important to ensure that it does not detract from the quality of the area. Local stone or chippings should be used for construction and surfacing and the character of development should be rough and naturalistic rather than suburban.

• The widening or lining of local roads would seriously damage the character of the area.

• The restoration of stone farmhouses would be preferable to new development. New development would be very out of character and highly visible in this landscape, although there may be some opportunities in more sheltered hollows or within the trees along the winding coastal road so long as the traditional white and grey materials are used.

121. Moyle Glens

Key Characteristics • Dramatic steep glacial valleys within the Antrim Plateau. • The northern glens (Glendun, Glenaan) have a v-shaped form with

undulating sides, whereas those further south (Glenballyemon and Glenariff) have sweeping u-shaped profiles with dramatic basalt cliffs.

• Prominent hedgerows and trees in field boundaries, and ancient broadleaf woodlands give the glens a well wooded appearance.

• Long straight gorse hedgerows and degraded stone walls run perpendicular to the slopes along historic townland boundaries.

• Roads follow the contours along valley sides, linking distinctive whitewashed stone cottages; settlement concentrated at bays.

• Extremely scenic and distinctive valleys, with long coastal views and a backdrop of wild moorland.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • Careful visual analysis is required to ensure that new development in

coastal villages does not block dramatic views to the sea. The sensitive use of traditional materials is recommended (white two storey houses with grey roofs are characteristic) and the restoration of derelict houses and farms of traditional stone construction would help retain historic interest.

• The location of campsites and car parks in places where they are not visually prominent, such as behind coastal bluffs and within trees is preferable. Planting of deciduous trees around existing tourist developments may be beneficial.

• Scattered new development in the glens should avoid the floodplains and steep slopes, be in character with the existing white cottages, and be carried out in association with planting. Large scale development would be inappropriate in this scenic and sensitive landscape.

274


122. Garron Plateau

Key Characteristics

• Open, uneven moorland plateau reaching 438m at Mid Hill. • Distinctive stepped slope profile with rocky outcrops, steep descents

and deeply incised streams. • Moorland grasses predominate with sheep grazing as the major land

use.

• Wind-blown beech trees and stone walls stand silhouetted against the moorland backdrop.

• Heather cover occurs on the summits covering extensive tracts of peat bog.

• Derelict stone cottages. • Small scale peat cutting.

Principles for Accommodating New Development • This exposed and wild landscape is unsuitable for new built

development; the restoration of existing small stone dwellings would help conserve these as built features of the landscape.

• Careful consideration should be given to the siting of vertical elements such as radio masts and wind farms.
