Healthy City Planning Framework

The LDP is a mechanism through which healthy social and physical environments can be encouraged by protecting existing and identifying new sites for the leisure, health, education and social care facilities required to serve the city and cross-boundary populations and support Belfast as a 'healthy city'. Having regard to the need to plan for a growing population, adequate community infrastructure is essential as part of the planning process and new developments should contribute towards consequential new community infrastructure requirements. The LDP will also seek to ensure good accessibility to existing and new facilities for current and future residents.
