  • Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.16 Corridor 16: Stranraer to North West England and beyond 7.16.1 Setting the Context Corridor 16 extends from Stranraer across to the northwest of England, approximately 157 kilometres in length The corridor follows a largely east-west alignment, serving the regional centre of Dumfries and the settlements of Newton Stewart, Castle Douglas, Annan and Gretna, and providing links to Carlisle across the border and beyond. The corridor is largely rural with small settlements. The extent of the corridor and the location of the main settlements are shown in Figure 7.16.1. The corridor has a total population 106,500699, which is forecast to remain unchanged between 2005 and 2022699. At the same time, the number of households in the area is forecast to increase by approximately 4,000, a rise of eight per cent699. Much of the pressure for housing development is concentrated in the larger towns such as Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan which also act as employment and service centres700. The traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors are facing decline and tourism is predicted to play an important role in the future local economy. Settlements which are close to the A74 (M) benefit from being able to access wider markets which could generate business employment opportunities. The ports of Cairnryan and Stranraer provide frequent and heavily used ferry services between Scotland and Northern Ireland. Stena Line, who currently use the port of Stranraer, are progressing with plans for a new ferry port development on Loch Ryan.
