Listed Buildings - Designation and Context

Listed Buildings: These are designated by the Department as being of 'special architectural or historic interest' under Section 80 of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. Whilst it may be impractical for a LDP to identify all current listed buildings throughout the plan area, it may be appropriate to highlight particular listed buildings and their settings which are integral to the character and inform broader heritage designations. These could include areas of townscape/village character or Local Landscape Policy Areas (LLPAs) within and adjoining settlements.
