PC 04 06 2018 Items for Decision

5.1 Report of the Planning Manager

5.1.1 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 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.

(1) LA05/2017/0311/F – Major Application – Proposed cemetery to provide 3057 burial plots – proposal is an extension to a consented cemetery as approved under planning application refs S/2010/1021/O and S/2013/0093/RM (additional information received) on lands immediately West of the junction of the Lisnabilla Road and the A3 Lisburn Road, Moira.

The Committee was advised that this application had been withdrawn from the Schedule as a late representation have been received, the detail of which was still to be considered.

(2) LA05/2016/1050/F – Local Application (previously deferred) – Erection of 4 no. detached dwellings with double garages including new vehicular accesses and all other associated site works on land to the south west of No. 4 Beanstown Road, Aghnahough, Lisburn.

The Principal Planning Officer (RH) presented the application as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Alderman W Leathem who wished to speak in opposition to the application highlighting the following:

• Alderman Leathem advised that he was speaking on behalf of constituents from the Beanstown Road. • Concern was not about housing development on the site but about the width of the road and access to and from the site • There has been piecemeal development taking place along the road and this means that there is now no access to this site other than from the Beanstown Road. • There are road safety issues for car users, pedestrians and cyclists. • Planning Policy PPS3 AMP2 states that proposed development should not reduce road safety or impede the flow of traffic and this development does do that

546

PC 04 06 2018 • This and another application close by would bring 18 extra cars exiting onto Beanstown Road which is a small country road. • If the application is to be approved, then a condition should be imposed that the dwellings cannot be occupied until completion of the new Lisburn feeder road and widening of the Beanstown Road. • The sight lines from the site are highly dangerous in their present format.

There then followed a question and answer session on the above points.

The Committee received Mr Gavin Rolston and Mr Mark Hardy who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following:

• There will be a number of benefits for the Beanstown Road as a result of this development • Objections to the scheme are principally related to access • This is a low density development with 4 large detached dwellings that are in keeping with the character of other developments on the road • Road is being widened and there is hedging planted along the frontage • Pairing of access points • There have been no objections to the development from NIEA or other statutory consultees • Development to the south of the site had been approved and is under construction and access from there is not feasible • Generous landscaping is proposed to front and rear of the buildings which will integrate the scheme and improve the amenity of the proposed development. • There had been 3-4 drafts of the layout before a favourable scheme was developed. • Road widening scheme and access was amended to improve visibility along the frontage of the scheme • The majority of traffic from the site will exit out onto the Pond Park Road and the developer is happy to improve the sight lines towards Lisburn at the Beanstown Road/Pond Park Road junction. The existence of the gospel hall building at the junction meant that the developer would not be able to improve sight lines to the left. • Within the scheme, turning was facilitated on driveways to ensure cars did not have to reverse out onto the Beanstown Road.

There then followed a question and answer session on the above points. In response to Members’ queries, Mr Hardy clarified that road widening would take place at the frontages of the two sites that the developer owned and confirmed that there was a stretch of road between the two sites owned by another developer.

During the further discussions and debate, the following issues arose:

• The Principal Planning Officer expressed the view that that it would not be reasonable to impose a condition on planning approval that the development does not proceed until road improvements have taken place. • Members referred to inconsistency on the part of Roads Service when dealing with sight lines. 547

PC 04 06 2018 • Members expressed the view that the proposed developments would create intensification of traffic along the Beanstown Road. • Concern was expressed by Members about the stretch of road between the two developments that would not be widened and the impact this would have on traffic flow.

The Committee, having considered the information provided within the Report of the Principal Planning Officer and by those making representations, then voted on the recommendation of the Planning Officer to approve the application and the vote was 4:4 with 0 abstentions.

A recorded voted was requested by Councillor O Gawith and the resultant voting was as follows:

In favour of the recommendation to approve planning permission:

Alderman J Dillon, Alderman T Jeffers, Councillor B Hanvey, Councillor O Gawith,

The Chairman, Councillor L Poots; the Vice-Chairman, Councillor N Trimble; Councillor J Craig and Councillor U Mackin.

In Committee

It was proposed by Councillor J Craig, seconded by Councillor O Gawith and agreed to go into Committee to receive legal advice in the absence of the press and public.

Members noted the advice received from the Legal Advisor.

It was proposed by Councillor O Gawith, seconded by the Vice-Chairman, Councillor N Trimble, and agreed to come out of committee and normal business was resumed.

It was proposed by Councillor J Craig, seconded by the Vice-Chairman, Councillor N Trimble, and agreed by a majority of 4:0 with 4 abstentions that the reason for refusal of the application was that it did not comply with policy, AMP2 of PPS 3 in that the proposal involved direct accesses onto the Beanstown Road which, if permitted, would prejudice road safety and inconvenience the flow of traffic.

(3) LA05/2016/0686/F – Local Application (Previously Deferred) – Erection of 5 no. detached dwellings with double garages including new vehicular accesses and all other associated site works (amended plans) on land to the East of No 7 Beanstown Road, Aghnahough, Lisburn and to the north of 94 – 102 (evens) Sir Richard Wallace Walk, Aghalislone (Upper Massereene), Lisburn.

548

PC 04 06 2018 The Principal Planning Officer (RH) presented this application as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Alderman WA Leathem who wished to speak in opposition to the application highlighting the following:

• The points he had made regarding the previous application also applied to this application • Planning policies PPS3 AMP2 and AMP3 applied to this application • It appears from the file that no National Heritage considerations have been given to this development • A bio-diversity check should be required • Issues about the sight lines coming out of the Beanstown Road to the left have not been resolved • This development is further down the Beanstown Road than the previous application and only the stretch of road fronting the site will be widened. The section of road between the two developments remains one vehicle wide. • He asked that the Committee consider including a condition that this development would not happen until the feeder road is improved • He also suggested that conditions should include planting of a buffer zone to the side and back of No 7 Beanstown Road.

The Committee received Mr Gavin Rolston and Mr Mark Hardy who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following:

• The same issues will be critical for this application as applied to the previous application • Disappointed that DfI were not present at the meeting to explain their position in accepting the proposal • With regard to the proposed condition that the development not be occupied until the feeder road had been improved, it was felt that the developer would be willing to accept this condition as he was confident that the road improvements would be completed within the next 5 years. • While the section of road between the developments would not be widened, visibility along this stretch would be improved.

There then following a question and answer session on the above matters.

The Committee, having considered the information provided within the Report of the Principal Planning Officer and by those making representations, then voted on the recommendation of the Planning Officer to approve the application and the vote was 4:4 with 0 abstentions.

A recorded voted was requested by Councillor O Gawith and the resultant voting was as follows:

It was proposed by Councillor J Craig, seconded by the Vice-Chairman, Councillor N Trimble, and agreed by a majority of 4:0 with 4 abstentions that the reason for refusal of the application was that it did not comply with policy, AMP2 of PPS 3 in that the proposal involved direct accesses onto the Beanstown Road which, if permitted, would prejudice road safety and inconvenience the flow of traffic.

Adjournment of Meeting

The Chairman, Councillor L Poots declared the meeting adjourned at 12.05 pm

Resumption of Meeting

The Chairman, Councillor L Poots declared the meeting resumed at 12.15 pm

(4) LA05/2017/1138/O – Local Application (Called in) – Proposed site for a dwelling within a cluster under policy CTY2a and a new paired access to Edenticullo Road to also serve site for dwelling under planning approval LA05/2016/1087/O on lands at site to the west of 105 Dromara Road, Hillsborough, BT26 6PE..

The Senior Planning Officer (MB) presented this application as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Ms Grainne Rice who wished to speak in support of the application, highlighting the following:

• The site is within an accepted cluster defined by 100, 104, 105 Dromara Road, 36 Edintcullo Road and the church hall. • The proposal will round off the cluster • The proposal meets 5 of the 6 criteria set out in CTY2a; • Bullet point 4 of CTY2a states that the site must provide a suitable degree of enclosure. This site has built development on 3 sides • Bullet point 5 of CTY2a states that the development can be absorbed into the cluster and should not intrude into the countryside. This part of the field is at a lower level to 105 Dromara Road and 37 Edenticullor Road. • The proposal also complies with CTY13 and CTY14 • The fact that existing properties are found on all approaches means that the proposal is not unduly prominent

550

PC 04 06 2018 • The outline planning permission on an adjoining site has established this field as within the cluster • Any concern about impact can be mitigated by a condition reducing ridge height to a single storey

There then followed a question and answer session on the above matters.

Following further discussion, it was proposed by the Chairman, Councillor L Poots, seconded by Alderman J Dillon, and agreed that determination of the above planning application be deferred pending a site meeting to consider the location and context.

(7) LA05/2017/0676/O – Local Application (Called in) – Proposed new cluster dwelling and garage approximately 20m to the south of No 52 Gransha Road, Newtownards, BT23 5RF

Councillor N Anderson advised that, although he had called this application in, he did not have an interest in the application and had not predetermined it.

The Senior Planning Officer (MB) presented this application as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Mr John Kirkpatrick, who wished to speak in support of the application, highlighting the following:

• A previous application had been turned down by PAC because it was extending beyond the line of the cluster and intruding into open countryside. • The site has now been relocated so that it is clustering with the main group of buildings. • Although turning down the previous application, the PAC accepted that there were 4 or more buildings of which at least 3 were dwellings • The visual entity – one is aware of the cluster of development • The proposal would integrate with existing building on the site so would not bring a change in rural character • The proposal would have minimal impact on the listed building

There then followed a question and answer session on the above matters.

The Committee received Councillor T Mitchell who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following:

• He is a member and elder of the church and is familiar with the location • Surprised how anyone cannot consider these buildings to be part of a cluster with the church as the focal point • The application is compliant with CTY2A • The boundaries of 46 and 48 Gransha Road are about 20 metres apart and all of these dwellings are on the same side of Gransha Road • The church has no objection to the application and the applicant is a long standing member of the church • This is an outline application and design details can be agreed at reserved matters to minimise any impact on the church.

551

PC 04 06 2018 There then followed a question and answer session on the above matters.

During further discussion and debate, Members referred to existing trees at the site that provided a degree of screening and suggested that planting of additional trees would minimise any visual impact of the proposed dwelling.

The Committee, having considered the information provided within the Report of the Senior Planning Officer and by those making representations, agreed by a majority of 8:0 with 1 abstention that the recommendation of the Planning Officer to refuse the application would not be upheld.

It was proposed by Councillor N Anderson, seconded by the Chairman, Councillor L Poots, and agreed by a majority of 8:0 with 1 abstention that the reasons for approving the application were

• the Committee considered that the application was compliant with policy CTY2a of PPS 21 and that all of the criteria for cluster development were met in full; • the Committee felt that the application would not have an adverse effect on the setting of the listed building as appropriate additional screening could support screening already in place and mitigate against any adverse impact.

The Committee noted that, as this was an application for outline planning permission, no conditions were required to be drafted at this stage.

Adjournment of Meeting

The Chairman, Councillor L Poots declared the meeting adjourned at 1.22 pm

Resumption of Meeting

It was agreed that the two application would be considered together. The Senior Planning Officer (PS) presented these applications as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Mr George McConnell who wish to speak in opposition to the applications, highlighting the following:

• Mr McConnell was speaking on behalf of neighbours who were opposed to the applications 552

PC 04 06 2018 • There are 3 closely related applications for the area which, if approved, would mean that agricultural land would be suburbanised • Mr McConnell showed photographs which he stated indicated that the area was rural in nature and existing buildings were well integrated into the countryside • The photos indicate a cluster of farm buildings and open countryside. • No building construction has commenced on the site next to the applications where approval has been given for replacement of 2 cottages. • A replacement dwelling for a site on the farm has been relocated to open countryside and the dwelling has increased in size. • If all the applications for the area go through it will damage and suburbanise the countryside • The applications have been categorised as infill development • The applications have extensive road frontage and will result in ribbon development • The applications are at variance with PPS21 and do not meet the requirements for infill development • Applications do not comply with CTY14. • This is a quiet country road and the proposals will not integrate into the countryside • The applications are located on a bad bend which has been an accident hotspot • If all of the applications for the immediate area are approved, it would bring 21 additional vehicles onto the road.

There then followed a question and answer session on the above matters.

The Committee received Mr Andrew McCready who wished to speak in support of the applications, highlighting the following:

• The two applications are on sites situated on the north side of Halfpenny Road. • CTY8 on ribbon development allows planning permission for small gap sites; the gap must be within a substantial and built-up frontage. • The two building to one side of the applications have been approved to be replaced by two dwellings and construction will commence within 10 days. • There are 5 dwellings along the frontage with no gaps except for the application sites • Plots in the area have varying depths and widths and the applications are within the range of existing plot sizes • The applications are compliant with CTY13 AND CTY14; the design of the buildings will be in keeping with the rural character and will integrate in the countryside. • The topography of the surrounding area is relatively flat. • The sites are defined by existing boundaries on all but the rear boundary, • The proposal will integrate into the surrounding landscape • The proposed dwellings are not prominent in the landscape and would not impact on the rural character of the area

553

PC 04 06 2018 There then followed a question and answer session on the above matters.

The Committee received Mr Edwin Poots MLA who wished to speak in support of the applications, highlighting the following:

• Mr Poots referred to the two replacement cottages to the side of the application sites. He stated that if construction had started and was at roof level, then the application sites would have to be agreed as an infill site. If the old cottages were still there, the application sites would have to be agreed as an infill site. One of the old cottages was still standing to almost roof level and he contended that it should still be considered as a building forming part of the built up frontage. • The DfI have approved the application and raised no issues regarding road safety • The width of the infill site is 102 metres which reflects frontage widths currently there • The main planning issue will be whether the old cottage to one side still constitutes a building

It was proposed by Councillor N Anderson, seconded by Councillor J Craig and agreed by a majority of 8:0 with 0 abstentions that determination of the above planning applications be deferred pending a site meeting to consider the location and context.

(8) LA05/2017/1033/RM – Local Application (Called in) – Replacement dwelling beside 9 Halfpenny Gate Road, Moira.

The Senior Planning Officer (MB) presented this application as outlined within the circulated report.

The Committee received Mr George McConnell who wished to speak in opposition to the application, highlighting the following:

• He has consulted with the neighbours who have given him permission to speak on their behalf • The proposed site is located within virgin countryside and the cluster of farm building is at a distance of 200 metres • Reserved Matters have not been well defined • The proposed two storey building of 4,500 sq ft will be highly prominent in the landscape and will not integrate well into the countryside • There is screening to the left and to the right but not to the southerly aspect • This is a replacement dwelling, it replaces a single storey dwelling • Ridge height needs should be restricted • Size of the building should be proportionate to the dwelling being replaced • Greatly enhanced screening required

The Committee received Mr Andrew McCready who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following

• The applicant bought this farm some years ago and it had outline permission to replace the dwelling. He felt that it was unsuitable to replace

554

PC 04 06 2018 the dwelling at the road junction; outline permission has been granted to relocate the replacement dwelling. • Due to the topography of the land, ridge height is 1.6 metres below the adjacent dwelling and 400 mm below the objector’s bungalow opposite the site. • New beech hedging will be planted to the front and rear of the site.

The Committee received Mr Edwin Poots MLA who wished to speak in support of the application highlighting the following:

• Outline permission has been granted and the only thing the Committee has to deal with are reserved matters • Mr McCready has dealt with the issue of ridge height; it is lower than houses beside and opposite. • The design of the dwelling is rural in character.

The Committee, having considered the information provided within the Report of the Senior Planning Officer and by those making representations, agreed by a majority of 8:0 with 0 abstentions to approve the application as outlined in Officer’s report.

4 SOMME PILGRIMAGE 2019

Members will be aware that the Council has traditionally sent a delegation of Members and accompanying officers on a pilgrimage to the Somme commemorations each year. The lead officer in the 2018 trip has suggested that consideration is given to a change in format for 2019 and future trips to maximise the time available and minimise travelling time both to/from and during the trip. This would involve the use of two separate hotel bases over the duration of the trip. In order to enable planning and bookings to proceed and secure the necessary accommodation at this very busy time of year, Members are asked to approve the commencement of the planning process.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Council:

The Council awarded financial assistance in the sum of £5,000 for the 2016 and 2017 events. This year financial assistance of £5,000 is again being sought.

Recommendation

It is recommended to consider the request from the Northern Ireland Garrison Support Unit in Thiepval Barracks for financial assistance in the sum of £5,000 towards their annual Lisburn Station Fireworks Display on 1 November 2018.

6 NAOMI ORR SCHOOL OF DANCE: REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Attached at Appendix 3 for the consideration of Members is a request received on behalf of the Naomi Orr School of Dance seeking financial assistance from the Council towards the attendance of 84 parents and young people from the Dance School at a competition due to be held in Blackpool between 27–30 September 2018.

Members are reminded the Council has no specific funding programme to support this type of initiative, however, through the Leisure & Community Development Committee, Council approved a discretionary award of £1,000 to the Dance School last year for a similar event. Unfortunately the group were unable to utilise the funding last year as they were unable to raise the balance of the funding required.

The group is however hopeful that the total costs this year can be raised through fund-raising activities, sponsorship and financial assistance from the Council. The Dance School has supported a number of Council events over recent years, including through participation in the Mayor`s Parade.

Recommendation

It is recommended to consider providing financial assistance of £1,000 under the Leisure & Community Wellbeing discretionary grant arrangements to the Naomi Orr School of Dance, and that Council officers explore with the Dance School how the group might promote the Council and area during the event in Blackpool.

Members will be aware that a meeting was held with the Youth Council at Lagan Valley Island on 14 June 2018. This was one of a series of meetings in the continuing development of the young people involved in the Youth Council and their understanding of leadership, citizenship and democracy. Six Elected Members joined the young people to hear of their activities and successes to date and the young people engaged with the Elected Members in a constructive and appropriate manner. The Members in attendance invited the Youth Council to sit in the public gallery at a full Council meeting in the autumn so as to improve their understanding of how democracy in a Council context takes place.

FOR NOTING

16 PROVISION OF INTERIM COMMUNITY FACILITIES IN CARRYDUFF: LEASE OF LANDS FROM LIBRARIES NI Arising from an earlier decision by Council, Members are reminded that officers have been in discussion with Libraries NI to progress the lease to the Council of a parcel of land adjacent to Carryduff Library for the installation of temporary porta cabins to provide interim community facilities for the Carryduff area. At the time of request, Libraries NI had arranged an LPS valuation on the basis of a “community use” restriction, which was calculated at £400 per annum. In progressing the transfer, Libraries NI were however required to submit a Business Case to the Department of Finance. Arising from this process the Department subsequently responded to Libraries NI requiring a full market valuation of the lands without “community use” restriction. Libraries NI have obtained this revised valuation from LPS at an increased figure £2,500 per annum. Council officers have been advised that the Department of Finance is viewing the difference between the “market value” and “community use value” as a “gift”, and has advised that a more onerous approval process will need to be conducted, which may delay progress.

Libraries NI have suggested an alternative approach would be for the Council to proceed with the lease at “full market value”, however given the clear community use restriction and the wider Community planning context, this approach would not be in keeping with the spirit of partnership working the Council has been endeavouring to progress matters on.

Members are asked to note that having been made aware of this position the Director of Leisure & Community Wellbeing has written to the Department of Finance asking that in the context of Community Planning it reconsider this decision, thereby facilitating the early development of these much needed facilities in Carryduff.

Recommendation

It is recommended to note the above update and await the response of the Department of Finance.

17 POST OFFICE LIMITED – HILLSBOROUGH ROAD BT28 1JN

Attached under Appendix 10 is a letter received from Post Office Limited in respect of proposed changes to Hillsborough Road Post Office.

Appendix 2 Appendix 3

From: clair williams Sent: 02 June 2018 13:07 To: Jim Rose Cc: Mandy Subject: funding for transport for Naomi Orr School of dance

Dear Mr Rose,

We were in contact with Mr Paul Porter ref funding for transport for an upcoming trip to a competion in Blackpool with Naomi Orr school of dance. He advised that you would be the best to contact for this. There are 84 parents and dancers attending a competition in Blackpool in Sept. (27th until the 30th) We are all from a diverse range of religious and ethnic backgrounds and various family situations. The children and dance parents team competed in the civic centre to secure their places at the semi-finals.

Some of the dancers and families come from disadvantaged areas in Lisburn and although talented find it hard to fund such brilliant experiences.

We have already planned some fundraising and are hoping to fund all the costs in relation to the children to help parents with 2 children competing. We also secured a great discount on hotels for everyone and a great bus price also. We are travelling on the day time sailing, as flights were so expensive.

We had secured funding from the council last year but we ended up not going to the competition as it was a colossal amount of money to get us all there.

Hoping you can help in our fundraising efforts. Every little will help towards a fantastic weekend of dance for kids some of whom don't get many trips. many thanks

Clair Williams On behalf of Naomi Orr School of dance.

1. Introduction 3. The Highway Code - Rule

To help promote and encourage the use of public transport for travel into Belfast, additional bus lanes are being provided on the hard shoulders of the M1 and M2 motorways.

This information leaflet is for the use of bus and coach drivers providing an overview of the operation and features of the bus lanes. It is also aimed at the general motorists travelling on these motorways. Using the hard shoulder illegally is an endorsable offence and may 2. Use of the bus lanes result in the driver receiving penalty points and a fine. • The bus lanes will normally operate between 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. Variable message signs will indicate when the bus lanes are open. The hard shoulder will always be available for • Only buses and coaches with 28 or more seats are legally use in an emergency. permitted to use the hard shoulder bus lanes. Any buses that do not meet this requirement or any other vehicle must NOT use the bus lanes, except in an emergency.

• The maximum bus lane speed will be 40mph.

• Use of the bus lanes during congested periods will improve journey time reliability.

• With increasing off peak traffic congestion the times when bus drivers decide to use the bus lanes may vary.

Bus drivers should exit the bus lane at the ‘End of bus lane’ sign. The normal traffic rules of the motorway apply here and bus drivers must give way to traffic already on the mainline. Speed should be adjusted as Bus drivers should enter the necessary to join when it is safe to do so hard shoulder bus lane at the Bus drivers should continue along defined entry point and avoid the entire length of the bus lane crossing the chevron strip and re-join with motorway traffic at the end. The maximum speed limit in the bus lane is 40mph

Bus drivers must be aware that the bus lane remains a hard shoulder at all times and is accessible to any vehicle which becomes disabled or requires to leave the mainline in an emergency.

Bus drivers should therefore be prepared for the eventuality of a vehicle crossing the chevron strip without warning or finding an obstruction that may have occurred since entering the bus lane DRAFTThe Bus Lanes – Explaining the signs

3. Minutes of Meeting

It was proposed by Councillor B Hanvey, seconded by Alderman S Martin and agreed that the minutes of the meeting of the Health Working Group held on the 2nd October 2017 be adopted and signed.

4. Maryland Healthcare Maryland Care Centre of Distinction, Knockbracken Road, Castlereagh

The Chairman of the Group, Councillor N Anderson, extended a welcome to Ms Susan McCurry (Managing Director) and Mrs Eimear Marshall (Sales Manager) of Maryland Healthcare.

Ms McCurry thanked the Chairman for the opportunity to address the Group and apologised for the non-attendance of her colleague, Mr Peter Marshall (Estates Director).

With the aid of PowerPoint, Ms McCurry made a presentation in respect of Maryland Healthcare and its facility known as the Maryland Care Centre of Distinction which was located at Knockbracken Road, Castlereagh.

The centre has 84 beds and provides healthcare as follows:-

 Dementia Nursing Care in the 20-bed Rowan Unit  Dementia Nursing Care in the 20-bed Larch Unit  Elderly, Physical Disability & Palliative Nursing Care in the 22-bed Juniper Unit  Elderly, Physical Disability & Palliative Nursing Care in the 22-bed Willow Unit

Of its 84 beds, 24 are used by the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust. The nature of care available is less intense that hospital care but more intense than GP care.

One of the key features of the facility is that it provides interim care for patients with dementia who are able to be discharged from hospital but who are not yet suitable for their permanent place of residence - be it their own home or a residential facility. If the facility were to be more widely used by the Health Trusts, hospital beds would be freed up as patients with dementia tend to have longer inpatient times due to the nature of their dementia-type symptoms which do not permit an earlier discharge.

The officials responded to Members’ questions.

The Chairman thanked the officials from Maryland Healthcare for their informative presentation and they left the meeting. (7.35 pm)

Northern Ireland Audit Office

Department for the Report by the Comptroller and Economy Auditor General for Northern Ireland Resource Accounts

2017-18

155

Introduction

1 The Department for the Economy (the Department) has responsibility for a range of functions including economic policy, energy, further and higher education, employment and skills programmes, tourism, telecoms, research and statistic services, health and safety at work and mineral development.

2 In each of the past two years, I have reported on significant concerns surrounding the operation of the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. Both of my reports attached to the Department’s Resource accounts have outlined significant weaknesses in the scheme and set out the ongoing actions proposed by the Department to address these weaknesses. There has been a huge level of public interest in how this scheme was set up and managed by the Department and its potential impact on Northern Ireland public expenditure for many years to come.

3 My initial report in June 2016 was followed by seven evidence sessions of the Public Accounts Committee between September 2016 and January 2017 when the Renewable Heat Incentive Inquiry was established to carry out an in-depth investigation of the operation of the scheme. The Inquiry is still ongoing and will report in due course.

4 My report below provides an update on:

 how the actions taken by the Department have reduced the total costs of the scheme and the impact on the block grant for the remainder of the scheme;  how the reduction in tariff rates from 1 April 2017 has affected the behaviour of applicants on the scheme;  actions taken by the Department to improve the quality of inspections and enforcement action; and  why I have again decided to qualify my regularity audit opinion.

Total costs in 2017-18

5 The Department imposed significant changes from 1 April 2017 to the tariff paid to those who had applied to the scheme before 18 November 2015 which included a new tiered tariff rate and a cap on heat output. This brought the tariff paid to those users into line with those who had applied to the scheme after 18 November 2015. This change to tariff rates was imposed (initially only for one year) in order to try to control future costs, address the issue of excessive returns for some users and to reduce the possible incentive for wasting heat.

6 As a result, these new rates applied to all accreditations, no matter when they joined the scheme. Table 1 below compares the rates payable for a 99kW boiler accredited before 18 November 2015:

156

Table 1: Change in tariff rates from 1 April 2017 Original tariff Revised tariff rate rate Heat generated per kWh up to 1,314 6.4 p/kWh 6.7 p/kWh hours (15 per cent of total hours in the year) Heat generated per kWh over 1,314 6.4 p/kWh 1.5 p/kWh hours Maximum kWhs payable Unlimited 400,000 kWh* Source: Department Based on rates payable for a 99kW boiler accredited before 18 November 2015. *400,000kWh equates to a 99kW boiler operating approximately 11 hours each day of the year

7 The revised rate was challenged in a judicial review taken by the Renewable Heat Association (RHANI). The judge in the case ruled in favour of the revised tariff being allowed to stand although RHANI has however stated its intention to appeal the decision. Legislation has now been passed through Westminster to extend the revised rate to 31 March 2019 while the Department consults on a more permanent tariff structure.

8 As a result of the new tiered rate commencing on 1 April 2017, the annual cost of the scheme has significantly reduced in 2017-18 as outlined in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Annual costs of the RHI scheme 2017-18 2016-17 £ million £ million Total cost of RHI scheme in year * 24 45 Costs covered through NI share of UK RHI budget 22 18 Annually Managed Expenditure (AME) Costs met from the NI Executive Departmental 2 27 Expenditure Limit (DEL) Source: Department *The cost of the RHI scheme in 2017-18 is comprised of £21.7 million (2016-17 - £42 million) for the non-domestic RHI scheme and £2.8 million (2016-17 - £3 million) for the domestic scheme.

Change in behaviour of applicants

9 The change in tariffs appears to have been the main reason for a substantial change in the overall heat generated under non-domestic RHI. The total heat generated has fallen by over 33% in 2017-18 compared to the previous year as set out in Table 3 below. This reduction is particularly marked in the forestry/wood sector which would typically have been engaged in generating heat for wood drying.

10 The change in the tariff paid coupled with the reduction in heat generated has resulted in the payment of non-domestic RHI almost halving in the year as shown in Table 4 below.

11 The change in the tariff for accreditations pre 18 November 2015 also appears to have driven significant changes in the behaviour of applicants for those boilers. Of the 1,685 boilers accredited before then which remain on the scheme only 349 (21 per cent) appear to have been used for more than 40 per cent of the available hours in the year compared to 926 (55 per cent) last year.

12 The extent that boilers applied for before 18 November 2015 were used in 2017- 18 and the amount of subsidy received per boiler, compared with 2016-17 is set out in Table 5 below.

13 The revised tariff rate also introduced a cap on heat output of 400,000kWh meaning that any heat generated over 400,000kWh would not be paid. 400,000kWh equates to a 99kW boiler operating approximately 11 hours each day of the year. Table 6 below shows the effect the introduction of this cap on heat output has had on the heat generated by 99kW boilers accredited before 18 November 2015.

14 It is clear from the above information that the behaviour of applicants appears to have changed significantly following the introduction of the new tiered rate and cap on heat output for all applicants from 1 April 2017. This may have been because applicants were no longer able to avail of the higher subsidy rates and as a result, there was no longer any incentive to generate heat if this was only being done in order to claim additional subsidies.

15 It has been suggested that boiler users may have used wood boilers only to the 400,000kWh maximum and then switched to other heating methods. However I consider this to be unlikely as the cost of generating heat through wood pellets appears to have been considerably cheaper over the last year compared to either oil or gas and therefore there would have been no reason to change heating (approximate costs in 2017-18 per the Department: wood pellets - 3.2 pence per kWh; gas - 5 pence per kWh; and oil - 4 pence per kWh).

16 I asked the Department to comment on the changes in behaviour shown and the Department told me that the introduction of the tiered tariff to all applicants had significantly reduced the incentive to produce unnecessary heat as previously the incentive paid for each kWh of heat generated was higher than the cost of production whereas as now once the applicant reaches the top of Tier 1, the incentive paid reduces to significantly below the cost of production. The Department welcomed this as not only was it an important cost control but it also helped contribute to the key objective of the Scheme to reduce carbon emissions.

Inspections

17 The Department is currently revising arrangements with Ofgem who administer the NI non domestic Scheme on its behalf. This includes revising how Inspections and Compliance activities are carried out. During 2017-18, the Department and Ofgem carried out a “pilot” of a new inspections process to help inform the way forward. The pilot involved inspecting 33 sites (65 installations) to assess compliance of the installations against the Scheme regulations and guidance. As part of this exercise, the independent inspectors analysed the use of heat, compared the amount of heat produced to recognised benchmarks and calculated an internal rate of return for each installation.

18 The inspectors found a range of compliance issues as follows:  Incorrect installation of heat meter flow and temperature sensors;  Incomplete documentation and record keeping;  Erroneous heat loss assessments;  Undeclared other sources of finances; and  Excessive heat generation.

19 The inspectors gave each site a rating: good, satisfactory, weak and unsatisfactory. No installations were deemed to be good, 4 satisfactory, 17 weak and 10 unsatisfactory. Two reports remain outstanding.

160

20 In addition to the pilot inspections, Ofgem carried out additional audits on 30 installations and identified issues in 24 installations (80 per cent). The audits carried out by Ofgem were in relation to specific concerns brought to their attention from a variety of sources and the findings were broadly similar to those listed in paragraph 18 above.

21 It is clear from the Department’s inspections and Ofgem’s audits that problems exist in a significant number of installations. The independent inspectors undertaking the pilot made a number of recommendations, including that all sites should be inspected within a maximum of three years and I asked the Department to comment on whether or not this is achievable.

22 The Department told me that it has just appointed inspectors to a framework with the intention of completing up to 250 site inspections in 2018-19, selected on the basis of a risk assessment. In addition, the Department will undertake a series of desk top reviews of sites, which will include reviewing the amount of heat generated and paid for. This approach will be reviewed in March 2019 and adjusted as required. The Department is aiming to complete the programme of inspections and desk reviews within a 3 year period as recommended by the independent inspectors.

23 While I note the intention to inspect/review all sites within the next 3 years, I am concerned at the slow rate of progress that has been made to date. It is also vitally important that full enforcement action is taken where inspections identify any issues which may potentially include removal from the Scheme. I asked the Department to comment on the pace of inspections and also on its plans to take enforcement actions arising from the inspections, if required.

24 The Department told me that the inspection process now in place, based on a revised methodology developed through the pilot process, and with the selection of sites based on a risk assessment, should help to rebuild public confidence in Scheme compliance. Regarding enforcement activity, the Department told me that based on the work carried out by themselves and Ofgem, three installations have been revoked from the Scheme and a number of further compliance cases are ongoing which could result in further removals from the Scheme where appropriate.

Qualified audit opinion

25 I am required under the Government Resources and Accounts Act (Northern Ireland) 2001 to report my opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. I am also required to report my opinion on regularity, that is, whether in all material respects the expenditure and income have been applied to the purposes intended by the Northern Ireland Assembly and the financial transactions conform to the authorities which govern them.

26 I have qualified my audit opinion again this year for the same reasons as the last two years:  ongoing weaknesses in controls in the non-domestic RHI scheme; and  expenditure incurred without the necessary approvals in place.

161

27 While there has been some improvement in cost control in 2017-18 because of the introduction of the revised tariff, I was still unable to obtain sufficient evidence that the controls over the spending on the non-domestic RHI scheme were adequate to prevent or detect abuse of the scheme as issues are still being identified as part of the ongoing inspection process.

28 I have again also qualified my regularity audit opinion because of a lack of required approvals being received by the Department in relation to a significant proportion of the spending on the non-domestic RHI scheme. At the commencement of the scheme in November 2012, the Department of Finance and Personnel (DFP – now the Department of Finance (DoF)) had given approval for expenditure under the scheme up to 31 March 2015. DETI (DfE was previously known as DETI) was due to seek re-approval of the scheme from DFP from 1 April 2015 but this was overlooked and DFP approval was not granted until 29 October 2015.

29 During this seven-month period in 2015-16, there were 788 boiler applications to the scheme, out of a total of 2,128 boiler applications (37 per cent). The ongoing costs incurred during 2017-18 in relation to these 788 applications amounted to £7.9 million (£18.8 million in 2016-17 / £11.9 million in 2015-16) and as stated above, because these applications were accepted onto the scheme by DETI during a period in which there was no DFP approval, the total expenditure in relation to them continues to be irregular.

30 The above irregular expenditure incurred on the non-domestic RHI scheme in 2017-18 of £7.9 million represents 36 per cent of the total expenditure incurred on the non-domestic RHI scheme of £21.7 million in 2017-18. It is likely that a similar proportion of the non-domestic RHI expenditure will continue to be irregular each year until 2037-38 when the scheme closes unless the Department is able to obtain retrospective approval from DoF. To date, the Department has not formally sought retrospective approval for these 788 applications, but will consider it following the implementation of the long term tariff structure.

Other issues: Invest NI irregular expenditure

31 I have also qualified my regularity audit opinion in relation to £2.1 million expenditure incurred by Invest Northern Ireland in 2017-18 under the Skills Growth Programme as DoF refused to provide retrospective approval for grant expenditure which had been committed to during the period 1 January 2016 to 5 April 2018. As the Department has overall responsibility for ensuring that approvals are obtained and provides funding to Invest NI through grant in aid, my regularity opinion has also been qualified in respect of this expenditure as it does not conform to the authorities which govern it. This issue is discussed in more detail in the Department’s governance statement.

162

Conclusion

32 The Department has made some progress in addressing the many issues arising from my previous reports on the non-domestic RHI scheme. The introduction of the new tariff rates from 1 April 2017 has resulted in a reduction of costs in the year and has been a key factor in changing the behaviour of applicants. I am however concerned at the slow rate of progress made by the Department in inspecting all sites, although I acknowledge that there is an intention to inspect all sites within the next three years. It is important that these inspections progress at a faster pace and where problems are found, proper enforcement is carried out.

33 Whilst recognising that progress has been made on the non-domestic RHI scheme, I continue to have significant concerns about the operation of this scheme and some of the weaknesses in controls that continue to exist. I understand that the Department intends to consult on further changes to the scheme and I will closely examine the actions taken by the Department once this process has been completed.

N I A O Northern Ireland Audit Office MEDIA RELEASE

Department for the Economy – Audit of Annual Financial Statements

Mr Kieran Donnelly, Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), today issued a report on the results of his audit of the 2017-18 accounts of the Department for the Economy (the Department) which provides an update on issues relating to the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme and a separate issue relating to Invest NI.

Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Background For the past two years, the C&AG has reported significant concerns surrounding the scheme. Following his first report in June 2016 there were seven evidence sessions held by the Public Accounts Committee following which the RHI Inquiry was established.

From 1 April 2017 the Department imposed significant changes to the tariff paid to those who had been admitted to the scheme before 18 November 2015. These changes included a new tiered tariff rate and a cap on heat output which brought the tariff paid into line with those who had been admitted to the scheme after 18 November 2015. Largely as a result of these changes the annual cost of the scheme has significantly reduced from £42.3 million last year to £21.7 million in 2017-18. The cost of the scheme which has to be met from the Northern Ireland block grant has reduced from £27 million last year to £2 million this year.

Change in behaviour of applicants The change in the tariffs and the cap on heat output for those admitted to the scheme before 18 November 2015, appears to have driven significant changes in the behaviour of those applicants. Overall for the year there has been a 33% decrease in the amount of heat generated by all applicants. As outlined in the table below, only 118 boilers (7%) have been used for more than 50% of available hours (which equates to the cap on heat output which has been imposed) in 2017-18 compared to 659 boilers (39%) in 2016-17. The report suggests that this may have been because applicants were no longer able to avail of the higher subsidy rates and as a result, there was no longer any incentive to generate heat if this was only being done in order to claim additional subsidies.

Inspections During 2017-18, the Department piloted a new inspection process to help inform the way forward. This pilot has involved completing the inspections of 33 sites to date with findings rating 17 as weak and 10 unsatisfactory. Ofgem also carried out audits on a further 30 installations and identified issues in 24 of them. The Department has now appointed inspectors to a framework with the intention of completing up to 250 site inspections in 2018-19 selected on the basis of a risk assessment. In addition, the Department will undertake a series of desk top reviews of sites, which will include a review of the amount of heat generated and paid for. The Department has said that to date three installations have been revoked from the Scheme and a number of further compliance cases are ongoing. The Department is aiming to complete the programme of inspections and desk reviews within a 3 year period as recommended by the independent inspectors. While noting the intentions in respect of inspections in future the C&AG has registered his concern at the slow pace of progress to date.

Other issues: Invest NI irregular expenditure Invest NI Invest NI incurred expenditure of £2.1 million for grants under the Skills Growth Programme which were committed to during a period in which approval from the Department of Finance had expired. As the Department provides funding to Invest NI and has overall responsibility for ensuring that approvals are obtained, the C&AG has qualified his regularity audit opinion in relation to this expenditure.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo Trip August 2018

Lisburn Royal Irish Regimental Association was formed after the regiment was disbanded, The association promotes the welfare and comradeship which was commenced by the members whilst serving across all regions of N Ireland. Membership of the association is currently at 27 mainly from members of the LCCC council area. Over the last five years Lisburn branch of the Royal Irish Association, have attended a group events/trip. These have ranged from London during the remembrance weekend, The National Arboretum for NI Veterans Weekend, Dublin (Islandbridge) and Fivemiletown for a historical guided trip in the area. In the past, we have been successful in obtaining grants from various sources. This year the association are planning to attend the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Having completed grant application and were unsuccessful on this occasion. Ten members of the association will be attending the trip from Friday 17th August to Sunday 19th August 2018. The association would like to be considered for a small grant from Lisburn Castlereagh City Council. If the Council was to be so minded the grant would be used to offset the cost of the flights, apartment accommodation and the tickets into the Tattoo. This is currently at £3330.

Minister S Vara MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for NI Northern Ireland Office Stormont Estate BELFAST BT4 3SH

Dear Minister Vara

Thank you for your recent meeting on 5 July and taking time to receive representation from the Mayor and myself. In keeping with the adage that ‘a week is a long time in politics’ things have moved on considerably in relation to Brexit as we all keenly watch developments in the media. I really appreciated your candour in discussing the issues with government and your position in relation to Northern Ireland Executive.

In the discussions you offered the opportunity to make representation in those areas you believed that your office could assist local government and specifically Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. I have enclosed within correspondence a list of issues that generally affect local government and its relationship with the regional Civil Service approach. This of course has been further tempered by the recent court of appeal determination on the planning permission for an incinerator. I await with keen interest to see how the issues that this ruling gives rise to are resolved.

Specifically in relation to Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, I would appreciate your intervention in ensuring the Belfast Region City Deal is as comprehensive as possible and provides for balanced investment within LCCC and includes tourism within the areas funded from Whitehall. The latter being a vitally important area of economic growth for this council area especially given the recent investment within Historic Royal Palaces within the Queen’s residence at Hillsborough Castle. This investment offers further exciting opportunities for the whole of the Northern Ireland economy in attracting out of state visitors. These visitors of course will be influenced by the proposals in relation to air travel tax and VAT.

In addition and as discussed, I have enclosed an enlarged copy of a key development area for this city council known as the West Lisburn Development Framework. Fundamental to the success of the LCCC economy is the creation of a link road outlined at WL1 within the map. This road is currently being resisted as an investment opportunity by the Department for Infrastructure whose contention it is, is that it should be developer led. As outlined in the additional exhibit enclosed in your documents there is a housing development proposal for to have a developer led scheme and we are working in partnership with that developer to realise their ambitions. However, as articulated by the Mayor in the discussions Maze Long Kesh, whose history I have no need to expand upon, represents both a regional and a local opportunity and is being hamstrung by a number of issues.

It is our belief that there is a bigger prize over and above the developers housing proposals that the department should be considering when addressing the Knockmore link road, this includes the obvious connection with Maze Long Kesh and the new rail halt proposed at WL3 within your reference documents. The impact of these proposals extend as far as West Belfast for social inclusion and employment opportunity purposes and the Historic Royal Palaces in Hillsborough which are blighted by the traffic type and volume which could be alleviated through this road development.

I could not impress enough on you the importance of the West Lisburn Development Framework for the regional and local impact, much of which is already articulated in the Northern Ireland Regional development strategy 2035 and would therefore ask for your support in impressing upon all the devolved departments who are being curtailed in their individual departmental silos, and we wish for a more holistic approach and in so doing realise some exciting opportunities for the Northern Ireland Economy especially along the eastern seaboard.

I appreciate most of what we discussed are devolved issues but would ask that you bare influence where you can on these important matters for this council who have an ambition to work with the private sector in driving our regional economy. The proposals outlined and the issues I have raised are on the premise that private sector development and investment will be enabled through appropriate government interventions at a national, regional and local level. Local government should not be frustrated by ineffectual regional approaches.

Thank you once again for taking time from your busy schedule to engage with us and hopefully bring positive influence to these important matters for our council.

Yours sincerely

Dr Theresa Donaldson CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Drinking Water Quality Report for Northern Ireland 2017

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council

Northern Ireland Water is a trademark of Northern Ireland Water Limited, incorporated in Northern Ireland, Registered Number NI054463, Registered Office Westland House, Old Westland Road, Belfast BT14 6TE. Water Quality by Northern Ireland Local Council Area

This local council report is designed to demonstrate water quality by individual council area based on the % Compliance at Customer Tap (including Supply Points) over the water supply zones associated with that council area, as shown on the enclosed map.

For monitoring purposes NI Water’s supply area is divided into water supply zones. These are areas serving not more than 100,000 people, each of which are normally supplied from a single water supply source or combination of sources. There are areas where owing to topography and dispersal of population, it is not practicable to provide a mains water supply. Currently over 99.9% of Northern Ireland's population receive public water supplies.

In a number of cases water supply zones overlap council boundaries. The council reports indicate which water supply zones are wholly or partially contained within the council areas, including those zones which may have a relatively small area within the council area. Separation of data within these water supply zones across council boundaries is not practicable, therefore the information used in calculating the zonal compliance relates to the whole zone and not merely the part included within a council boundary. Following discussions with the Drinking Water Inspectorate, water supply zones with fewer than 40 properties within the council area have not been used to calculate the individual council compliance. The information is based on samples taken randomly from customer taps in each water supply zone and from planned samples at authorised supply points. Due to the nature of random sampling, there may be fluctuations in water quality across the water supply zones.

The report also details Capital Work Programmes affecting the council area which directly related to water quality during the reporting period.

Small variations in water quality compliance performance occur across Northern Ireland. This reflects the need to continue to invest in and to maintain water treatment works, and to improve the water mains network.

NI Water has identified the need to deliver a significant volume of watermains rehabilitation and other works across its ageing network. The works are necessary to ensure the efficient and cost effective operation of its water supply system in the immediate future and longer term as well as ensuring adequate levels of water quality and customer supply. To achieve this goal, NI Water has implemented a Watermains Rehabilitation Framework, within which it undertakes work on a Northern Ireland wide basis as identified by the zonal study programme of work.

Water Mains Rehabilitation Framework Current Work Package Status

The map above shows the extent of the current Water Mains Rehabilitation Framework covering most of Northern Ireland. To assist clarity, whilst the council boundaries are shown, the individual councils are not named. Regions in white on the map are largely watercourses or upland areas which do not receive public water supply.

Serious Drinking Water Quality Events in 2017

Area and Estimate of Date of Serious Population/ Associated Council Nature and Cause of Serious Event Event Properties Area(s) Potentially Affected 22/08/17 North-western Extremely heavy rainfall caused a series of Derry City & Strabane area of Northern flooding events in the North West. District Ireland (51,470 Carmoney WTW was off supply for 5 days, population) following flood damage to the raw water pumping station and there were eight burst mains. Water supply was maintained to customers through implementation of the WTW contingency Plan.

Significant Drinking Water Quality Events in 2017

Area and Estimate of Date of Population/ Associated Council Significant Nature and Cause of Significant Event Event Properties Area(s) Potentially Affected 16/01/17 - Killylane WTW Treatment difficulties led to aluminium and Mid & East Antrim Borough 01/02/17 (51,120 iron contraventions in the Killylane WTW population) final water. 26/01/17 - Aird Close, Mains disturbance caused by mains Antrim & Newtownabbey 01/02/17 Antrim (29 replacement in this area led to one coliform Borough properties) bacteria, four odour and two turbidity contraventions.

28/01/17 - Dorisland WTW Contraventions of the turbidity standard in Antrim & Newtownabbey 30/01/17 (41,660 the works final water were not Borough; and Mid & East population) representative of the water going into Antrim Borough supply. DWI dealt with this matter by issuing a Regulation 27(5) Notice. 01/03/17 - Castle Hill, Contraventions of the iron standard were Newry, Mourne & Down 08/09/17 Rathfriland (272 caused by the age and condition of the District population) supplying cast iron main. 30/03/17 - Glenhordial WTW Contraventions of the turbidity standard in Fermanagh & Omagh 20/04/17 (10,616 the works final water were probably caused District population) by disturbance in the clear water tanks and/or in the sample line. 12/04/17 - Stormont Castle This Event was not related to the quality of Belfast City 12/05/17 (170 population) water supplied by NI Water. After the installation of a new chiller unit by an external contractor, backflow occurred which introduced ethylene glycol into the drinking water system. This event occurred due to non-compliance with the Water Fittings Regulations. There was local media interest. Area and Estimate of Date of Population/ Associated Council Significant Nature and Cause of Significant Event Event Properties Area(s) Potentially Affected 17/04/17 - Ballinrees WTW Contraventions of the individual pesticide Causeway Coast & Glens 10/08/17 (168,204 standard for MCPA occurred in the works Borough; and Derry City & population) final water due to insufficient treatment. A Strabane District Consideration of Provisional Enforcement Order (CPEO) has been issued by the Inspectorate. 06/06/17 - Dungonnell WTW A contravention of the turbidity standard Mid & East Antrim Borough 07/06/17 (30,512 was caused by disturbance in a Clear Water population) Tank (CWT) as it was being drained down for cleaning. 06/06/17 - Derg WTW Contraventions of the individual pesticide Derry City & Strabane 07/09/17 (38,989 standard for MCPA occurred in the works District; and Fermanagh & population) final water due to insufficient treatment to Omagh District effectively remove levels of MCPA in the raw water supply to the treatment works. MCPA use in the catchment area, to control weeds and rushes, caused elevated levels of MCPA in the raw water supply. A Consideration of Provisional Enforcement Order (CPEO) has been issued by the Inspectorate. 26/06/17 - Castor Bay WTW Contraventions of the taste & odour Armagh City, Banbridge & 30/06/17 (364,673 parameters occurred in the works final Craigavon Borough; population) water due to insufficient treatment. Belfast City; Lisburn & Castlereagh City; Mid- Ulster District; and Newry, Mourne & Down District 03/07/17 - Strand Road, This event was not related to the NI Water Causeway Coast & Glens 07/07/17 Portstewart public supply Borough (Approximately Contamination of the temporary drinking 80,000 water supply within the site led to coliform population) bacteria contraventions. 05/17/17 - Drumagarner Coliform bacteria contraventions occurred Causeway Coast & Glens 12/07/17 Road, Kilrea (471 after a new mains was connected in Borough properties) Drumagarner Road. A “Boil Water Before Use” notice was issued to a single property. 24/07/17 - Glenhordial WTW Contraventions of the individual pesticide Fermanagh & Omagh 01/02/18 (10,694 standard for MCPA occurred in the works District population) final water due to insufficient treatment to effectively remove levels of MCPA in the raw water supply to the treatment works MCPA use in the catchment area, to control weeds and rushes, caused elevated levels of MCPA in the raw water supply. The Pesticides – Total Substances standard was also contravened. A Consideration of Provisional Enforcement Order (CPEO) has been issued by the Inspectorate. Area and Estimate of Date of Population/ Associated Council Significant Nature and Cause of Significant Event Event Properties Area(s) Potentially Affected 25/07/17 - Dungonnell WTW A contravention of the trihalomethanes Mid & East Antrim Borough 30/11/17 (33,446 (THMs) standard occurred in the population) Dungonnell WTW supply area. Four THM samples taken in August 2017 were in the “likely to fail” category. The elevated results are probably due to a combination of poor organics removal during the treatment process combined with increasing levels in the distribution system. 14/08/17 - Ballylagan Road, Operational work in this area led to short Causeway Coast & Glens 11/09/17 Garvagh (22 term disturbance and appearance issues Borough properties) with iron, manganese and odour contraventions in properties on the Ballylagan Road. 24/08/17 - Carmoney WTW Aluminium, iron, manganese and turbidity Derry City & Strabane 31/08/17 (51,470 contraventions were reported in the District population) Carmoney WTWs final water. Our assessment is that the contraventions were related to disturbance caused by the operational activities regarding the re- zoning of Ballinrees and Caugh Hill WTWs to maintain supplies and not due to the quality of water leaving the water treatment works. This event was related to the “Serious” flooding event reported previously. 30/08/17 - Drumagarner Coliform bacteria contraventions occurred Causeway Coast & Glens 03/09/17 Road, Kilrea (471 after a new mains was connected in Borough properties) Drumagarner Road. A “Boil Water Before Use” notice was issued to two properties. 04/09/17 - Upper Malone A contravention of the trihalomethanes Antrim & Newtownabbey 16/10/17 Road, Belfast (THMs) standard occurred in the Dunore Borough; Belfast City; (286,407 Point WTW supply area. It is probable that Causeway Coast & Glens; population) the THM contravention was mainly caused Lisburn & Castlereagh by Disinfection By-Product precursors being City; and Mid & East present in the works final water, the Antrim Borough condition of the distribution system and the long residence time (estimated at 4 days). 05/09/17 - Cargagh Road, Coliform bacteria contraventions were Newry, Mourne & Down 15/09/17 Downpatrick (25 reported after contamination of the mains District properties) occurred during a burst main repair on the Cargagh Road. A “Boil Water Before Use” notice was issued to the 25 affected properties. 05/09/17 - Altnahinch WTW Contraventions of the trihalomethanes Causeway Coast & Glens 20/09/17 (31,486 (THMs) standard occurred in the Altnahinch Borough population) WTW final water and in the related supply area. The contraventions were due to inadequate organic removal within the treatment process therefore increasing the risk for THM formation. 06/09/17 - Gransha Road, Contraventions of the iron and turbidity Armagh City, Banbridge & Present Dromara (10 standards were caused by the age and Craigavon Borough properties) condition of the supplying cast iron main. Area and Estimate of Date of Population/ Associated Council Significant Nature and Cause of Significant Event Event Properties Area(s) Potentially Affected 18/09/17 – Ballinrees WTW A contravention of the trihalomethanes Causeway Coast & Glens 03/10/17 (168,204 (THMs) standard occurred in the Ballinrees Borough; and Derry City & population) WTW supply area. This contravention Strabane District occurred following a period when there was not full treatment in operation. 06/10/17 - Gorticross Road, Aluminium, iron, manganese and turbidity Derry City & Strabane Present Drumahoe (17 contraventions occurred in Ardmore, District properties) Gosheden and Kildoag roads. These contraventions occurred after re-zoning work carried out following the flooding event which caused damage to a main on Gorticross Road. This event was related to the “Serious” flooding event reported previously. 16/10/17 - Rathlin Island - A value greater than the World Health Causeway Coast & Glens 02/03/18 (10 properties) Organization Index for trihalomethanes was Borough reported due to naturally occurring bromide in the source water, and low flows to the west of the island in the autumn. A Consideration of Provisional Enforcement Order (CPEO) has been issued by the Inspectorate. 13/11/17 - Dorisland WTW Aluminium, manganese and turbidity Antrim & Newtownabbey 14/11/17 (127,451 contraventions were reported in the Borough; Belfast City; and population) Dorisland WTW final water due to Mid & East Antrim Borough unrepresentative sampling. 29/11/17 - Dungonnell WTW Contraventions of the pH standard occurred Mid & East Antrim Borough 04/12/17 (30,512 in Dungonnell WTW supply area. This was population) due to overdosing of orthophosphoric acid (used for plumbosolvency control) at Dungonnell WTW.

14/12/17 - Castor Bay WTW A contravention of the aluminium standard Armagh City, Banbridge & 15/12/17 (364,673 was caused by a problem with the pH Craigavon Borough; population) monitoring regime which led to sub-optimal Belfast City; Lisburn & treatment. Castlereagh City; Mid- Ulster District; and Newry, Mourne & Down District

After investigations during the reporting period, there were also 7 events categorised by DWI as “Minor”, and 14 events categorised as “Not Significant”.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR WATER QUALITY RESULTS

Where the water quality standards come from The water we supply for domestic use or food production must comply with the standards in The Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (NI) 2007 (as amended), which incorporate European Union standards and more stringent UK national standards. These Regulations detail the acceptable levels of certain characteristics, elements and substances allowed in drinking water. Usually, this is a maximum level; but, occasionally, a minimum is also set (e.g. pH). This permissible level is known as the Prescribed Concentration or Value (PCV). Some of the regulatory levels are set for aesthetic reasons and not for health (e.g. Colour).

Where we sample Samples are taken from our service reservoirs, water treatment works and taps in customers’ homes. Every year, our accredited state-of-the-art laboratories carry out over 100,000 sophisticated tests to ensure quality standards are met. The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) within the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) also independently audits these tests and issues a report each year on its findings. DWI ensures that NI Water meets more than 50 legal standards for drinking water quality to match water companies across the rest of the UK. The standards are strict and generally include wide safety margins. They cover: bacteria; chemicals, such as nitrates and pesticides; metals, such as lead; and how water looks and tastes.

What happens if a test fails? If a sample fails a test, this does not necessarily mean the water is unsafe to drink. Sometimes, the water in our mains or pipes and in the neighbouring properties is good, but the failure is caused by the householder’s own plumbing system. However, we take all failures of these standards very seriously and these are dealt with by a team of specialists. All failures are recorded, investigated and action is taken to resolve the problem. If the contamination is found to be due to the tap or internal plumbing, NI Water will inform the customer in writing of the reason for the failure so

that they can take appropriate action. A copy of the letter is also provided to the Public Health Agency, the local Environmental Health Officer and the DWI.

All PCV failures are also reported externally to the DWI, respective health boards, Environmental Health departments, the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland (CCNI), DRD Water Policy Unit and the Utility Regulator (NAIUR).

Units of measurement The units of measurement used in this factsheet are as follows: • 1 milligram per litre (mg/l) is one part per million (ppm) • 1 microgram per litre (µg/l) is 1 part per billion (or thousand million) • NTU – Nephelometric turbidity units (for turbidity measurement) • Pt/Co – Platinum-cobalt units Standard (for colour measurement) • µS/cm – micro siemens per centimetre (for conductivity measurement)

Concentration or value

Shown in three ways:

• Min(imum), the lowest result during the period • Mean, the average of the results • Max(imum), the highest result during the period. • A ‘<’ symbol means a result was less than the value at which a parameter can be detected. • A ‘>’ symbol means a result was greater than the range within which a parameter is normally detected.

Number of samples • Total taken – the number of samples tested for each parameter • Contravening – shows the number of samples that exceeded the PCV • % of samples contravening PCV – the number of samples that contravened the PCV compared to the total number of samples taken expressed as a percentage.

INDIVIDUAL PARAMETERS/SUBSTANCES

Hardness Total Hardness is normally caused by dissolved calcium and, to a lesser extent, magnesium in rocks through which the water has passed. In Northern Ireland, our water is predominantly soft to moderately soft or slightly to moderately hard. Hardness means you may have to use more soap when washing as hard water lathers less than soft water. It has not been proven to have adverse effects on health and is safe to drink. There is no standard specified in the current regulations.

Dependent upon the origin and manufacturer of your dishwasher, you may require a specific parameter, such as Clarke degrees (a.k.a. English degrees) or French or German degrees.

GH is general hardness, while KH is Carbonate, or temporary hardness. pH (listed under ‘Hydrogen Ion’) This is a scientific term used to describe the acidity or alkalinity of a fluid. We need to control the pH of water because: • if water is too acidic, it may corrode metal pipes in the distribution system • if water is too alkaline, it may cause deposits to form in the pipes

The standard is to keep water pH levels in the 6.5-9.5 range.

Colour The colour of drinking water is usually dependent on the presence of naturally- occurring dissolved organic matter. For example, the higher the peat content of a catchment, (e.g. the Mournes Catchment), the higher the level of colour in the raw water. However, colour may also be due to the presence of iron contributed by old cast-iron mains. • PCV for colour is 20 mg/l Pt/Co.

Sometimes, the water coming out of the tap has a milky or cloudy appearance, which is usually caused by excess air dissolved in the water as micro bubbles. This is not harmful and, if the water is left to stand for a few minutes, it will clear from the bottom upwards (i.e. the bubbles of air rise to the top of the glass and escape).

Turbidity Turbidity is caused by very fine insoluble materials that may be present in water. Levels are closely monitored during the treatment processes. • PCV at the customer’s tap is 4 NTU

Odour and taste Customer complaints quite often relate to taste and odour. Quality control tests are carried out to measure the level of taste and odour and are performed by a specialist testing panel. • PCV for each = Dilution Number >0

Conductivity Conductivity is proportional to the dissolved solids content of the water and is often used as an indication of the presence of dissolved minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and sodium. • PCV is 2500 µS/cm at 20°C

Chlorine (Cl - listed under Free-Residual disinfectant) Chlorine is added to water to ensure water is free from bacteria. When chlorine is added, not all of it is used up in the process. Some remains as ‘free chlorine’ to make sure the water remains safe as it passes through the distribution system. No PCV is prescribed for chlorine in the regulations and these levels are set to ensure that a small concentration remains at the end of the distribution system to maintain customer safety.

E. coli and enterococci If present, these indicate a possible breach in the integrity of the water supply system. An effective treatment process will kill any organisms present. PCV standards are: • 0 /100ml for E. Coli • 0 /100ml for Enterococci

Coliforms These are naturally present in the environment. Their presence may indicate a possible breach in the integrity of the supply system or contamination from the kitchen sink or taps.

Nitrite and nitrate (NO2 and NO3) Normally only trace amounts of these compounds are found in water.

• PCV for nitrite = 0.5 mg NO2/l

• PCV for nitrate = 50 mg NO3/l

Chloride (Cl) Chloride in water originates from natural sources such as mineral deposits. It can contribute to taste which may be unacceptable to customers if the standard is exceeded. • PCV = 250 mg Cl/l

Fluoride (F) NI Water does not add fluoride to any water supply in Northern Ireland. Fluoride can occur naturally in some raw water supplies at low levels. • PCV = 1.5 mg F/l

Sulphate (SO4) Sulphate occurs naturally in water and originates from mineral deposits. High concentrations may give rise to taste problems and, in the long-term, damage pipe work.

• PCV = 250 mg SO4/l

Copper (Cu) Copper can occur naturally in some water sources and is normally found in low concentrations in drinking water. • PCV = 2 mg Cu/l

Iron (Fe) This is one of the most abundant metals found naturally in surface and ground waters. After treatment, it is normally reduced to trace concentrations in drinking water. Increased levels can occur due to the corrosion of old cast-iron water mains. There is no known health risk associated with high iron concentrations, but staining of clothing in washing machines can occur. • PCV = 200 µg Fe/l

Manganese (Mn) Manganese occurs naturally in water. High concentrations of manganese in tap water may cause discolouration and possible staining of clothing in washing machines. • PCV = 50 µg Mn/l

Aluminium (Al) Aluminium can occur naturally in water within certain catchments. However, aluminium compounds are used in the treatment process to help remove impurities. Any aluminium compounds added during the treatment process are removed before the final treated water leaves the treatment works. • PCV = 200 µg Al/l

Sodium (Na) Sodium occurs naturally in trace amounts in water. High concentrations may impart a level of taste that is unacceptable to customers. • PCV = 200 mg Na/l Lead (Pb) Lead is not normally present in water sources, but significant concentrations may be present at customers’ taps if lead or copper pipes with lead joints have been used in the plumbing system. More information is available here.

• PCV = 10 µg Pb/l

Trihalomethanes (THMs) THMs occur in drinking water as by-products of the reaction of chlorine with naturally- occurring dissolved organic materials. In drinking water, only four compounds out of the group of THMs have health significance, the most common of which is chloroform. The PCV is based on the sum of the concentrations of all four constituents. • PCV = 100 µg/l

Other substances In addition to those listed and explained above, we also test for substances such as hydrocarbons, pesticides and herbicides, phenols and organic carbon. We also carry out extensive monitoring of our supplies for cryptosporidium through sampling of raw and final treated water.

2017 WATER SUPPLY COMMENTARY

ZS0501 - Drumaroad Lisburn

The water supplied in this zone within the Lisburn & Castlereagh council area complied with all the physical-chemical and microbiological standards laid down in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (as amended) except for the following parameter(s):-

Iron – single exceedance

Investigations found that this exceedance was most likely caused by a disturbance of mains deposits from older iron mains, with resamples being satisfactory after flushing if required. NI Water has in place an extensive Mains Rehabilitation Programme, which favours mains replacement and zones are prioritised according to need. This programme will continue to maintain and improve the quality of water in your council area over the next few years.

Total coliforms – single exceedance

Total coliforms are an indication of microbiological contamination. Exceedances can occur when there are problems with disinfection of the water supply or where the sample tap is contaminated. Most total coliform / E Coli exceedances are because of contamination of the customer tap. Investigation of this exceedance found that the water supply was satisfactory and that the contamination was most likely related to the customer tap.

ZS0503 - Forked Bridge Stoneyford

The water supplied in this zone within the Lisburn & Castlereagh council area complied with all the physical-chemical and microbiological standards laid down in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (as amended) except for the following parameter(s):-

Odour – single exceedance

The cause of the exceedance was most likely due to internal plumbing issues and was not representative of the water in supply. Resamples were satisfactory.

Total coliforms – single exceedance

Total coliforms are an indication of microbiological contamination. Exceedances can occur when there are problems with disinfection of the water supply or where the sample tap is contaminated. Most total coliform / E Coli exceedances are because of contamination of the customer tap.
