Planning committee

Decided by Ards and North Down Planning Committee on 5 May 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.

  • Officers found the cameras sympathetic in scale and the 40 metre distance and boundary fence sufficient to protect privacy, recommending approval.
  • A neighbour said the cameras left his family feeling constantly watched and asked only that they not face his home.
  • Members voted to refuse permission, believing the cameras would unduly affect the neighbour's privacy and doubting conditions could be enforced.
Read how the committee decided The privacy concerns, the neighbour's objection and why the committee refused it.
