The approach taken to develop the village plan is therefore reflective of the principles of community planning. • Our citizens achieve their full potential The village plan incorporates a broad range of issues and initiatives across many aspects of village life from day to day issues such as litter to traffic and speeding related issues to recreation and well being issues.

Village issues and proposed projects relate to various local government and NI Executive policies and strategies and responsibilities. The village plan therefore can help to inform community planning at a local level and direct resources from the process to develop positive outcomes for the residents of Templepatrick. 4 5 Village Overview Village Planning Process Templepatrick is a village located 6 miles east of Antrim and 14 miles north west of In order to review and update the village plan for Templepatrick, a number of key steps have Belfast, along the route between the city of Belfast and Belfast International Airport. been completed, including: Templepatrick has become a popular commuter village given its location, with considerable growth in the number of homes in the area over the past number of • Village walkabout – representatives from Templepatrick Action Community years and a number of planned housing developments that are in construction or Association (TACA) along with the consultant team identified and discussed key have been granted planning permission. areas and issues for Templepatrick during a site visit.

Burke, I revised the proofs of the account given in Burke's Colonial Gentry, published in 1895, ar) d eventually compiled the fuller and more accurate notice in Burke's Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, edition of 1898, Vol. II., Ireland, pp. 156-58. In the researches thus necessitated, a large number of incidents, dates, alliances, etc., came to light which were inadmissible into the formal Pedigree which was proved and recorded by the Heralds' College in the last-mentioned year, and could not be given within the limits (very liberal though they were) prescribed by Mr. Burke. To preserve, without intolerable prolixity, all available information, is the object of the following pages. The materials for this task originally at my disposal, in addition to the first notice in the Landed Gentry of 1862, consisted only of (1) a letter and some brief memoranda in the hand- writing of my uncle, John Williamson Fulton, with corrections thereon by his sister, Anne Hope (my mother), and a letter of hers to me, all falling within the period 1861-63, and (2) a long detailed account up to the then date which he dictated to me at Braidujle House in September 1872, with copies of McVeigh, Camac, Casement and Robinson pedigrees, which he then allowed me to make.
