LATEST January 2007 To see latest Enforcement issues hammered out.
In November 2003, the Planning Authority recommended, and Moyle District Council agreed, to the two Developments behind Eagry Park, Bushmills, Co. Antrim, to go ahead. (E/2001/0247/F and E/2001/0248/F). On the 29th June 2004 the Decision Notices were finally issued and we objectors received notification. That's over seven months after approval was given. So brace yourself for years of constant noise of building work from 8am every weekday. And when it’s all built, realise you have lost your countryside view
So many people objected and have taken a keen interest in the outcome of this development proposal that we thought it might be of interest for you to see a little of the negotiations and consultations (some still ongoing) which went behind this contentious plan. Hence this web site. Brian and Angela Willis. (last updated January 2007 )
