Antrim and Newtownabbey councillors approve plan for 98 new properties on two sites in the Mayfield area of Newtownabbey
Antrim and Newtownabbey councillors approved a £15m housing proposal for Mallusk at a meeting of the borough council’s planning committee on Tuesday evening.
Objector Ursula McCollan told councillors she has been a resident of Mayfield for 20 years. She said she has been “part of a vocal group of residents in relation to the development proposal”. She added it would be “more acceptable” if it is installed after the 25th house is built. She asked if the play park could be “gifted” to the council to be managed.
Threemilewater Ulster Unionist Councillor Stephen Cosgrove described the proposed playground as “inadequate” for what he described as “a substantial piece of land”. He was told the applicant is “committed to enhancing the additional open spaces for the benefit of the entire community” and there is “more than just a play park on offer”.
