Planning committee
Decided by Ards and North Down Planning Committee on 9 Jun 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because there were no sequentially preferable sites, no significant adverse retail impact and a demonstrated need.
- A neighbour objected over possible loss of light, while the applicant’s representatives highlighted investment, jobs and local support.
- Members resolved to grant planning permission after discussing parking, appearance, city-centre effects and the retrospective extension.
