Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council has given the green light to a £36m development on the former Rolls Royce site in Dundonald, seen as the lesser of two evils amid concerns over a potential compromise to the council's zoning policy. The project, proposed by Lagmar Properties Limited, includes 91 homes with 20% affordable housing and 31 business units.
A £36m development on the former Rolls Royce site in Dundonald has been approved as the "lesser of two evils" amid concerns a council's zoning policy could now be compromised.
LCCC head of planning, Conor Hughes, told the chamber: "Zoned land can be considered for alternative use under exceptional circumstances if economic development proposed is lost." Correspondence from NI Water from November 2022 approved designs for sewage and storm water connections. The chamber heard NIW approval was only valid for 18 months.
His objection letter, on the NI Planning Portal, also alleged the Council had provided “incorrect facts” to members of the committee, based on details of the council’s local development plan. Mr Gordon stated for this reason LCCC was “highly vulnerable to legal challenge".
