Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when planning permission was issued to the south and east Belfast unit of management of the Eastern area health board to develop a car park at Mount Oriel clinic, Saintfields road; if work commenced on site prior to planning permission being issued; if the planning application was supported by(a) Castlereagh borough council and (b) the roads service of the Department of the Environment; upon how many persons neighbour notices were served; how many objections were received; and if he will make a statement about traffic conditions on the roadway leading to this car park.
§ Mr. Tim SmithPlanning permission was granted on 29 March 1994 in relation to a retrospective application for development which had already commenced. Castlereagh borough council and the Department of the Environment's roads service raised no objections to the application. Eighteen neighbour notification notices were served. Subsequently 54 letters of objection were received from a total of 28 residences in the locality. As the road leading from the Saintfield road to the car park is not adopted into the public road network, it would not be appropriate for the Department to comment about the traffic conditions on it.
