Any future decision making will need to be made within the context of a Sustainability Appraisal under the provision of Planning (Northern Ireland) Act 2011. This paper is therefore intended to generate members’ ideas on how planning can best meet the needs of a growing retailing sector. It is important to stress that in compiling the Position Paper the best information available has been used however it may need revised in light of the release of any new data (particularly in relation to the new Council boundary area). The paper will provide a foundation on which work can commence on Preferred Options Paper as part of introducing the new Plan Strategy for Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council to replace that contained in the existing Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan. The aims of the paper are: To build the capacity of members to make informed planning decisions, particularly within the plan making context; To provide baseline information which will inform Development Plan policy making at local level; To review the progress of the Lisburn City Centre Masterplan; and To link with important ongoing work in relation to the development of a Community Plan and other strategic work being undertaken by the Council. 3 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper examines the existing baseline and land availability for retailing opportunities in the existing city/town centres and opportunities for the retailing sector in the new Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council area. It also examines the office development context for the new Council Area. The paper sets out the regional context followed by an assessment of the local Development Plan and allows members to commence consideration of how retailing and office policy may be formulated within the context of the RDS and the Regional Planning Policy. 2.0 REGIONAL POLICY CONTEXT 2.1 The regional policy context is provided by the Regional Development Strategy (RDS) 2035 and regional Planning Policy Statements (PPSs). A summary of these documents as they relate to plan making and retailing development policy is provided in the following paragraphs. Regional Development Strategy 2035 (RDS) 2.2 The RDS 2035 provides a framework for strong sustainable economic growth across the region and recognises that a growing regional economy needs a co- ordinated approach to the provision of services, jobs and infrastructure. It seeks to balance the needs of a “resilient, outward looking, more dynamic economy, whilst preserving and sustaining quality of life” and promotes a sustained urban renaissance in the cities and towns of the region. The Strategy provides a framework within which the physical and social progress of Northern Ireland can be improved. 2.3 The RDS states the importance of accessible, vibrant city and town centres which offer people more local choice for shopping, social activity and recreation. It recognises Lisburn as having a vibrant city centre with a strong focus on leisure provision, sports and the arts. Potential exists to grow the retail offer and create 4 high quality office offer through the creation of employment in business services. Potential also exists to generate a new driver for the night-time economy. 2.4 The RDS Spatial Framework Guidance acknowledges the important role Lisburn has within the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area and indicates a number of strategic guidelines:- To recognise the high development potential of Lisburn, reflecting its highly accessible strategic location and strong employment base; Enhance Lisburn City as a major employment and commercial centre. Lisburn is strategically located at the meeting of key transport corridors and has high development potential and the scope to generate additional jobs; Sprucefield will continue to retain its status as a regional out-of-town shopping centre. Direct mixed use development towards sites which will enhance local regeneration initiatives 2.5 The RDS also seeks to enhance the role of Belfast City Centre as the regional capital and focus of administration, commerce, specialised services and cultural amenities (SFG3). Specifically it states that Belfast City Centre will continue as the primary office location in Northern Ireland and will continue to be the first choice for major office developments. 2.6 A substantial part of the new Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council area is contained within the BMUA hub.1 Strategic Framework Guidance within the RDS specifically recognises the important role of Lisburn in the BMUA and its location at the meeting point of the Belfast/Dublin economic corridor and the East/West transport corridor. It states that potential exists to grow the retail offer and create high quality offer through the creation of employment in business services. 1 Lisburn City and Castlereagh form part of the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area (BMUA). The nearest hubs are Craigavon and Banbridge to the South, Newtownards to the East and Antrim to the North. 5 Potential also exists to generate a new driver for the night-time economy and to provide a range of flexible commercial accommodation and business parks at development locations such as Blaris and the Maze/Long Kesh. Strategic Planning Policy Statement (SPPS) 2.7 The Strategic Planning Policy Statement (SPPS) was published by the Department of the Environment (DoE) in final form in September 2015. The provisions of the SPPS must be taken into account in the preparation of Local Development Plans, and are also material to all decisions on individual planning applications and appeals. Retailing 2.8 The main aim of the SPPS in relation to retailing is to support and sustain vibrant town centres across Northern Ireland, consistent with the RDS. The SPPS states that the previous PPS 5 Retailing and Town Centres is cancelled as a result, and therefore no longer applies in the determination of planning applications or appeals. Therefore the SPPS is the only policy taken into account in preparing the new Local Development Plan. Role of the Local Development Plan 2.9 The SPPS identifies the role for LDPs, as follows: to secure a town centres first approach for the location of future retailing and other main town centre uses. ensure LDPs and decisions are informed by robust and up to date evidence in relation to need and capacity; protect and enhance diversity in the range of town centre uses appropriate to their role and function, such as leisure, cultural and community facilities, housing and business; promote high quality design to ensure that town centres provide sustainable, attractive, accessible and safe environments; and maintain and improve accessibility to and within the town centre. 6 2.10 The SPPS also states that the preparation of a LDP provides the opportunity to address the needs, challenges and opportunities facing town centres and retailing in the plan area. Given the wide range and complexity of issues that influence the development, role, function and success of town centres councils should work collaboratively with other relevant stakeholders to inform plan preparation. 2.11 A key element in developing the evidence base will be the preparation of town centre health checks. Councils should undertake and regularly update these (at least once every five years). They will contain information on a range of indicators, including; existing town centre uses, including resident population; vacancy rates; physical structure and environmental quality – including opportunities; designations, constraints; footfall; retailer representation; attitudes and perceptions; prime rental values and commercial yields. 2.12 Arising from the above-mentioned evidence base LDPs should include a Retail strategy, and contain appropriate policies and proposals that must promote town centres first for retail and other main town centre uses. Plans should also; define a network and hierarchy of centres - town, district and local centres, acknowledging the role and function of rural centres; define the spatial extent of town centres and the primary retail core; set out appropriate policies that make clear which uses will be permitted in the hierarchy of centres and other locations, and the factors that will be taken into account for decision taking; provide for a diverse offer and mix of uses, which reflect local circumstances; and 7 allocate a range of suitable sites to meet the scale and form of retail, and other town centre uses. Offices 2.13 The SPPS states that within larger settlements such as cities and towns, planning decisions must, to a large extent, be informed by the provisions made for economic development through the LDP process. In these larger settlements appropriate proposals for Class B1 business uses (such as offices and call centres) should be permitted within city or town centres, and in other locations that may be specified for such use in a LDP, such as a district centre or local centre. Elsewhere, such proposals should be determined on their individual merits, taking account of the potential impacts and the likely economic benefits, both local and regional. 2.14 Prevailing regional planning policy relating to office development falling within Use Class B1, Business Use, of the Planning (Use Classes) Order (NI) 2004 is set out in PPS 4: ‘Planning and Economic Development’.

  • Regeneration NI Creating 21St Century Town and City Centres
    Regeneration NI Creating 21st Century Town and City Centres NEW THINKING FRESH LEADERSHIP AMBITIOUS INITIATIVES 1 The wholesale change needed to revitalise our town centres and give them a fighting chance of survival will only come, however, when there is an acceptance that the old order of things is crumbling before our eyes. We still rely on old models that are not fit for the 21st century and this is holding back change.” Grimsey Review, 2018 2 3 INTRODUCTION For nearly twenty years, Retail NI and its membership have been champions for our town centres and high streets, bringing forward new ideas and policy solutions to decision-makers at all levels of government. Our members are entrepreneurs who provide an important service to their local communities and believe in real and genuine partnerships with their local Councils. They champion strong, vibrant and diverse town centres, which are in themselves, centres of both retail and hospitality excellence. We have already successfully lobbied for the introduction of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme, the Town Centre First Planning Policy, legislation for Business Improvement schemes, five hours for £1 off-street car parking discount and much more. The theme of this report is regeneration and how to create 21st century town and city centres. With the Local Government Elections in 2019, we believe it is time to update our policy priorities and introduce some new ideas. I look forward to engaging with members, stakeholders and political representatives across Northern Ireland in the months ahead, asking for their support to initiate the process of regenerating our high streets, regenerating our workforce, regenerating our infrastructure and regenerating our political structures.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.
