Planning committee
Decided by Ards and North Down Planning Committee on 9 Jun 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the reduced tree planting would not harm the area or neighbours, and the landscaping phasing was acceptable.
- The agent said tree removal addressed risks to the historic Bawn Wall and public safety; no objections were received.
- Members voted to adopt the recommendation and grant planning permission.
