Strategic Context and Site Location

The Borough of Newtownabbey lies to the north of Belfast and is bounded to the east by Belfast Lough and to the southwest by the Belfast Hills. It is identified through the RDS 2035 as being part of the Belfast Gateway and located within a key transport corridor to the north of the city (see Figure 1 ). The subject lands are located to the north of Glengormley, which forms part of the Metropolitan Area of Newtownabbey as shown at Figure 2 . Glengormley is situated approximately 8.7 miles north-west of Belfast City Centre and within easy access to the M2 motorway. The opportunities this creates ensure that it is easily accessible and is a sustainable location for economic development, which is consistent with the RDS.
