The Department expressed that it would be in the best interests of the Council to have updated data on the local landscape to help inform the Local Development Plan (LDP). 1.2 In response to this advice, the Council conducted a review and update of current LCA for the Borough. This LCA update established if there were any changes in landscape character or modern development pressures within the local landscape. The assessment examined the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment (NICLA) 2000 and assessed how landscapes have evolved and been altered since inception. Additional examinations included, the Regional Development Strategy (RDS), Strategic Planning Policy Statement (SPPS) for Northern Ireland, Planning Policy Statements (PPSs), and the legacy Antrim Area Plan and draft Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan. The results of the assessment enabled an analysis of the robustness of current approaches to landscape planning and management at protecting and enhancing important landscapes within the Borough. This LCA update has been prepared in association with Soltys Brewster Consulting. Aims and Objectives 1.3 The aim of this LCA update, is to ensure the continuous protection and enhancement of sensitive landscapes from the impact of modern development by considering the following: Provide context for policies and proposals relating to Landscape within the Council’s LDP for the Borough; Inform and update the 16 LCAs identified in the NILCA 2000; Provide a robust evidence base and data bank to help justify any future policy decisions; and To help identify landscapes which have particular value and merit future special protection as local landscapes. 1.4 The objectives for the landscape assessment are to: Review the purpose, coverage and function of Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) LCAs; Define and implement a clear methodology for the LCA process based on an approach acknowledged by the (NIEA); Assess local landscape character and qualities of individual LCAs; Provide guidance within the LCA report through establishing sensitivities and accommodating new development techniques; and Inform then Council’s LDP by helping to identify landscapes within the Borough that merit future protection. 1.5 The process of conducting the LCA update was undertaken in four stages: Page 4 June 2019 Evidence Paper 16 – Landscape Character Assessment Local Development Plan 2030 Stage 1 involved, the generation of a methodology that would enable a robust assessment process, which would be deemed appropriate by a Chartered Landscape Architect; Stage 2 comprised a detailed background and desktop study of the 16 LCAs located within the Borough. This stage involved the identification of key characteristics including: Geology; Hydrology; Landscape Cover; Land Use Pattern; Settlement Pattern; Built Heritage Assets; and Cultural Qualities. This stage provided the background context and descriptors for Stage 3 of the Assessment; Stage 3 encompassed a detailed fieldwork study of 70 Fieldwork Study Sites from across the 16 LCAs. The fieldwork study was conducted with two Planning Officers in the field using an online survey linked to Arc GIS; and Stage 4 entailed the analysis and coding of the data collected through the desktop studies and fieldwork studies. The analysis looked at the narratives of sensitivity, impact, change, environmental importance and cultural/heritage importance. The narrative themes provided the evidence for each of the LCAs and enabled the completion of the LCA update. 1.6 The study area was defined as the Council area. Where there are strong links with adjacent landscapes in neighbouring Councils (Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, Mid Ulster District Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and Belfast City Council), including views in and out of the area, these were considered. 1.7 This LCA update will enabled the identification of unique and important landscapes within the Borough that merit future protection measures to help maintain and enhance diverse characteristics of natural environment. It has also taken into account neighbouring Councils and cross boundary considerations. 1.8 This LCA update aims to: Provide easily accessible baseline information on all of the landscapes within the LDP area; Assist in detailed planning and landscape casework and in particular, to facilitate the monitoring of landscape change and

  • Recreation Guide
    RECREATION GUIDE GO EXPLORE Permit No. 70217 Based upon the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland Map with the permission of the controller of her Majesty’s Stationery Office © Crown Copyright 2007 A STRIKING VISUAL BOUNDARY The Belfast Hills make up the summits of the west and north of Belfast city. They form a striking visual boundary that sets them apart from the urban populace living in the valley below. The closeness to such a large population means the hills are becoming increasingly popular among people eager to access them for recreational activities. The public sites that are found across the hills certainly offer fantastic opportunities for organised and informal recreation. The Belfast Hills Partnership was formed in 2004 by a wide range of interest groups seeking to encourage better management of the hills in the face of illegal waste, degradation of landscape and unmanaged access. Our role in recreation is to work with our partners to improve facilities and promote sustainable use of the hills - sensitive to traditional ways of farming and land management in what is a truly outstanding environment. Over the coming years we will work in partnership with those who farm, manage or enjoy the hills to develop recreation in ways which will sustain all of these uses. 4 Belfast Hills • Introduction ACTIVITIES Walking 6 Cycling 10 Running 12 Geocaching 14 Orienteering 16 Other Activities 18 Access Code 20 Maps 21 Belfast Hills • Introduction 5 With well over half a million hikes taken every year, walking is the number one recreational activity in the Belfast Hills. A wide range of paths and routes are available - from a virtually flat 400 metres path at Carnmoney Hill pond, to the Divis Boundary route stretching almost seven miles (11km) across blanket bog and upland heath with elevations of 263m to 377m high.

C O V I D - 1 9 But what happened, none of us could have predicted. Our lives changed overnight and our movement A R C H E S N e w s became restricted. C o m m u n i t y N e w s We met loneliness in isolation, it's not the same when S c h o o l N e w s you try to be social when you're distant. And I know there are moments that have passed, T r a i n Y o u r B r a i n moments that should have been celebrated. I know every community has sacrificed many traditions that are sacred. I know your pain doesn't just go away just because you hibernated. And I know there's not a manual on how to grieve when you're isolated. So if you lost someone you loved, you take the sound of their laugh and keep it in the depth of your heart because we are keeping them alive. You take all the words they spoke and you wrap them in hope because we are keeping them alive. You find all the dreams they wrote and you hold them close because we are keeping them alive. Somewhere deep in my mind, I pray it's you that I find because I have been keeping you alive.
