Call For Developers To Provide More Information Over Planned Leisure Village

Construction News Image
Developers involved in the proposed Laburnum Leisure Village in east Belfast are being urged to provide more information about the development.

Green Party representative Brian Smyth made the call after a public consultation took place over the development, which is planned for the former Laburnum playing fields on the Castlereagh Road.

The development, includes an 85/100 bed sports themed hotel, 100 apartments and car parking for 280 vehicles.

Mr Smyth said: "Talking to local residents, there would be very little confidence about what the developers are saying about the impact of traffic on Prince Regent Road where it feeds onto the Castlereagh Road, an already challenging junction. This development would add more pressure onto the traffic load,.

"Residents want to know if there are any firm indications yet that the Prince Regent access will be approved and what are back-up plans are in place in place in the event that it isn't.

"It is good practice that all housing schemes should be mixed tenure and include social and affordable housing. Does the developer intend to include this in their proposals, and if not, why not?

"Residents have asked whether the developer will be building in a social clause and what opportunities will be available for young people not in education, training or employment. Does the developer intend to provide apprenticeships on this scheme and will there be any developer contributions to this scheme?"
