Decide which designated centres should be assessed

Having established a catchment area, use it to determine which centres should be assessed for sequentially preferable sites. Consider city centre, district and local centres within Belfast City Council boundary, and other centres within the catchment if it extends beyond the council boundary.

Having established an appropriate catchment, this can then be used to help determine the centres which should be assessed for sequentially preferable sites, in conjunction with details of the type and size of proposed development. The centres to be considered are city centre, district and local centres within the Belfast City Council boundary in the first instance and if the catchment area extends beyond the council boundary, other centres within that catchment.
