In a Concept Statement submitted with the planning application, McCreanor Company Architects wrote: “The proposed development reflects the density and character of the surrounding area and has been designed to respond sympathetically to the site context.

“Vehicular and pedestrian access is proposed directly from Dungannon Road.

“Each dwelling will benefit from generous private amenity space to the rear, providing an average of 93.2m² per dwelling, in accordance with the guidance set out in Creating Places.”
