Sinn Féin has said the Visteon site in west Belfast must include both social housing and economic use that will create job opportunities for local people.

Councillor Paul Maskey said: "Clearly there is a high demand for homes in West Belfast and this site is large enough to include both new homes and economic use.

"The Planning Service direction to Fold Housing has to be taken on board and the site developed as soon as possible.

"Prior to this decision I had already arranged to meet with some of the residents and that meeting will now focus on the planners' direction."
