HL Deb 13 January 2005 vol 668 cc73-4WA

Lord Dubs asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many planning applications for developments at Sprucefield near Lisburn in Northern Ireland they have received; and when they expect to be able to announce their decisions. [HL190]

Baroness Amos

In relation to Sprucefield Retail Park, Lisburn there are three current planning applications for development. Consideration of the applications is ongoing and it is not possible at this stage to be precise about a timescale for the determination of these applications, but each application will be dealt with as expeditiously as possible.

The Planning Service is also considering four applications seeking to amend or vary conditions to existing planning permissions
