Retail Hierarchy and Town Centres
The Council has identified a retail hierarchy comprising five town centres (Antrim, Ballyclare, Crumlin, Randalstown, and Glengormley) and two district centres (Northcott and Whiteabbey Village) across the Borough.
Based on the Retail and Commercial Leisure Study undertaken in support of the Plan Strategy, the Council has identified a retail hierarchy that recognises the traditional town centres of Antrim, Ballyclare, Crumlin and Randalstown, with a town centre also identified at Glengormley in Metropolitan Newtownabbey. These are complemented by district centres at Northcott and Whiteabbey Village.
