Policy Objectives

The objectives of this PPS are:
• to manage housing growth in response to changing housing need;
• to direct and manage future housing growth to achieve more sustainable patterns of residential development;
• to promote a drive to provide more housing within existing urban areas;
• to encourage an increase in the density of urban housing appropriate to the scale and design to the cities and towns of Northern Ireland; and
• to encourage the development of balanced local communities.
