Refusal Reasons for LA06/2018/1176/O 1. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY1 of Planning Policy Statement 21 Sustainable Development in the Countryside, in that there are no overriding reasons why this development is essential in this rural location and could not be located within a settlement. 2. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY2a of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside, in that the identified cluster is not associated with a focal point or located at a cross-roads, the site does not provide a suitable degree of enclosure and is not bounded on at least two sides with other development in the cluster, development of the site would not be absorbed into the cluster and would visually intrude into the open countryside. 3. The proposal is contrary to the provisions contained in the Strategic Planning Policy Statement and Policy CTY8 and CTY14 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside, in that the proposal, if developed, would further erode the rural character of the area due to a build-up of development and the extension of a ribbon of development. 4. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY13 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside, in that the application site lacks long established natural boundaries at this exposed coastal location and would have to rely primarily on the use of new landscaping for integration. 5. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy NH1 of Planning Policy Statement 2, Natural Heritage, in that insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the development of this land will not have an adverse effect on the integrity of adjacent European Sites. 6. The proposal is contrary to Paragraph 6.42 of the Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland (SPPS) in that the building is located within an area of the coast known to be at risk from coastal erosion. .

  • Ulster-Scots Churches and Graveyards in North Down
    Ulster-Scots churches and Graveyards in North Down General History To some degree, every church in the Ards and North Down has an Ulster-Scots story to tell, because for the past 400 years the vast majority of the people who have made up their congregations have been Ulster- Scots. People often think that Ulster-Scots is just a Presbyterian story – in fact there is a Scottish chapter in the story of every denomination. Some of these stories are reflected in the North Down graveyards. A graveyard can be likened to an open air museum of tombstones on which the inscriptions on these memorials provide vital links with the past. Not only do they record dates of death and ages at death, they can also include information on family, relationships, occupations and contributions to society. Within North Down there are two graveyards in particular that give an insight into the Ulster Scots that once lived in the locality located at two pivotal churches in the Borough within Bangor and Holywood. The depth of history is evident. The Ulster-Scots beginnings in North Down The Presbyterian Church has of course been the biggest, and most influential, denomination throughout those four centuries, with Revival in 1625 and congregations being formed long before the official Presbytery of 1642. The famous emigrant ship Eagle Wing was led by four Ulster- Scots Presbyterian ministers (from Bangor, Newtownards, Ballywalter and Killinchy) when she sailed from Groomsport in 1636. Presbyterian Covenanters fleeing from persecution in Scotland in the 1660’s and 1670’s were regularly arrested at Donaghadee.

  • Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland
    Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland. Background The Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service public consultation "Redrawing the Map: A Consultation on Court Boundaries in Northern Ireland” contained proposals to replace the current rigid statutory framework of court boundaries for County Courts and magistrates’ courts with a single jurisdiction within Northern Ireland underpinned by more flexible administrative arrangements. Stakeholders broadly welcomed the proposals. Single Jurisdiction reforms will be implemented on 31 October 2016. The legislation to give effect to the single jurisdiction is contained in Part 1 of the Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2015. Under the new arrangements, the jurisdiction of county courts and magistrates courts will no longer be determined by reference to County Court Divisions and Petty Sessions Districts. Instead these courts will exercise jurisdiction throughout Northern Ireland, similar to the way in which the Crown Court already operates. New Administrative Court Divisions The existing divisional structure will simultaneously be replaced with three new Administrative Court Divisions (ACDs). These Divisions will not define jurisdiction but rather will determine the area in which court business will ‘usually’ be heard. The three ACDs are:- North Eastern Division South Eastern Division Western Division. A map illustrating the geographical make-up of these Divisions has been attached at Annex A. Page 1 of 20 Although the legislation provides that different ACDs may be created for different types of court business (e.g. police or Public Prosecution Service boundaries for criminal business; Health Trust boundaries for family business) there will in the first instance be one single configuration of ACDs based on combinations of the eleven Local Government Districts for Northern Ireland.

  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.
