Amended application for Frys Road housing development approved

The application for the development on lands on Frys Road, Ballymena had originally requested to build 17 houses, however after a deferral, the applicant reduced the number to five.

Speaking on the issue to last Thursday night’s Public Sector Liaison Committee in Ardeevin, Denise Kerr said: "We had a meeting with Declan O'Loan and objectors this week. We restricted this development and particularly said there is to be no more than five houses.

"Any further developments would require a separate application."

Standing in the for the Absent Chair, Deputy Mayor of Ballymena, PJ McAvoy said: "The application has been reduced from 17 homes to 5 and I can't argue with this."
