Policy BPH/P/1 (Ballakilpheric)
Zoned for 2 dwellings in Development Area 7 only; no new dwellings elsewhere except per circulars 3/88 or 3/89. Site in broader Area 7 but agricultural proposal on existing farm; Inspector deemed residential zoning irrelevant as landowner not pursuing and policy unlikely repeated without exceptional need.
Policy ENC/P/1
Designates entire local plan area as Area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance to protect rural character. Proposal related to existing farm buildings in open countryside; Inspector found no need for resiting to protect appearance.
