What Happens Next?
This digital public information event will close on Tuesday 7th October 2025 and any comments received up to that point in time will be considered by the design team. We would ask that comments are submitted either via the site or to Resolve Planning directly no later than this date. Once all of the feedback has been considered and any necessary changes made, the design team will proceed to submit a planning application to Mid and East Antrim Council.
It is important to note that any feedback on this website is a representation to the applicant, and not to the planning department in Mid and East Antrim Council directly. If a planning application is subsequently submitted, normal neighbour notification and publicity will be undertaken and you will have the opportunity to make formal representations regarding the proposal at that time.
