Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether Ringhaddy avenue, Bowtown road, Newtownards was given planning approval as a cul-de-sac; whether the existing right-of-way through the steel fence at Ringhaddy avenue conforms with the planning approval; and what proposals he has to provide access from the Abbots road estates to Newtownards town centre consistent with existing approvals under the roads and planning legislation.
§ Mr. Needham[holding answer 22 June 1989]: Ringhaddy avenue was determined and constructed as a cul-de-sac. Following representations from a resident, a pedestrian link was provided through the steel fence. Planning approval was not necessary.
The Department of Environment for Northern Ireland currently has no plans to provide access from the Abbots road estate to Newtownards town centre.
