Housing supply strategy and sequential approach
The LDP identifies sufficient housing land to meet population growth projections for Belfast district, focusing new development on Belfast city centre and existing urban areas with modest provision in rural small settlements.
The LDP is required to identify and zone a supply of housing land that is sufficient to meet the population growth projections for the Belfast district. The housing supply adopts a sequential approach to new development, where the focus of new growth will be on the principal city of Belfast, particularly Belfast city centre and the existing urban footprint. The three rural small settlements therefore have a very modest provision.
