HC Deb 12 February 1991 vol 185 c414W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the reservation of the Hazelbank-Macedon area in the Belfast urban area plan 2001 for landscape, amenity or recreation use provides protection to the area from office-housing development.

Mr. Needham

All planning applications are considered on their merits having regard to the development plan for the area and to any other material considerations. It is likely that any future planning application for office or housing development on this site would be the subject of a public local inquiry under the terms of article 22 of the Planning (NI) Order 1972.
