West Lisburn Development Framework

The vision for the West Lisburn area is:

'To realise the potential of the West Lisburn area by 2035 through setting a framework that recognises and promotes the regionally significant features contained therein and connects these features in a sustainable manner that will promote social and economic growth and prosperity for the entire region.'

The West Lisburn Development Framework covers the period from 2015 up to 2035.  The framework vision is to utilise and promote resources in the West Lisburn area, for the benefit of all.  The area includes regionally significant and strategically important sites such as the Maze Long Kesh lands, Sprucefield Shopping Centre and Retail Park, Knockmore/Lissue, Blaris lands and Down Royal Racecourse.  It also includes natural resources such as the River Lagan, valuable landscapes and high quality agricultural land.  The plan sets out how best to develop, promote and protect these key assets and establish a logical and robust framework that will unlock the potential of these key features in a sustainable manner, to the benefit of the greater Lisburn area and the wider region.  

The Council went out to public consultation and have produced a draft Development Framework Plan which can be viewed online by clicking here.
