In the absence of the Planning Manager, the Principal Planning Officer (RH) presented the report and advised that application numbers LA05/2016/0542/F and LA05/2015/0342/O had been withdrawn from the schedule due to receipt of late representations. Items for Decision 4.1.1 Pre-Determination Hearing The Chairman advised that this item would be dealt with later in the meeting in order to facilitate attendance by those making representations. 4.1.2 Schedule of Applications: The Chairman reminded Members that they needed to be present for the entire item. If absent for any part of the discussion they would render themselves unable to vote on the application. The Legal Adviser highlighted paragraphs 46 - 48 of the Protocol for the Operation of the Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council Planning Committee which, she advised, needed to be borne in mind when determinations were being made. The Chairman advised that there were a number of speakers in attendance making representation on some of the applications and therefore the Schedule of Applications would be taken out of order to enable these applications to be taken first. 201 PC 06.03.2017 (4) Y/2009/0160/F – Major Application – Residential development comprising apartments, semi-detached and detached dwellings (total yield of 380 dwelling units), mixed use centre, public and private open and ancillary infrastructure (Amended plans) on lands to the East and South of the Baronscourt Development and to the North of Edgar Road and the Comber Road, Carryduff, Castlereagh. The Senior Planning Officer (AS) presented this application as outlined within the circulated report. The Committee received Mr David Worthington and Mr Paul Fraser who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following: • He concurred with the Report presented. • This was a complex site, there had been a lengthy process which included a public enquiry. • He detailed a Reserved Matters application submitted previously. • He outlined road improvements which had been made to the Comber/Saintfield Road junction which had been incorporated into the scheme. • The site was one which was zoned for housing. • Social housing, of a bespoke design, had been incorporated and would be managed in conjunction with a Social Housing Association • A bus gate had been incorporated. • Community facilities had been included. This was followed by a question and answer session during which some members expressed their concern at traffic problems in the area particularly on the Saintfield Road. At this stage it was proposed by Councillor N Anderson and seconded by Alderman G Rice that this application be deferred pending additional information being provided on traffic concerns at the location, however Alderman D Drysdale opposed this proposal stating that Transport NI had been supportive of the scheme and he did not know from where any additional information would come. He stated that the Committee were keen to progress and determine legacy applications and he did not wish to see this particular application held up in the system any longer than it already had been. The above proposal, to defer the application, was therefore put to a vote and was defeated by a majority of 5:5 with the Chairman having the deciding vote.
