THE DEVELOPMENT OFF EAGRY now known as EAGRY GARDENS

The “approved” layout (30 May 2003) dwg 02/55:02 differs from the last published 01 July 2002 (Drg. No 04) layout in many ways. Here are just a few of them.

Unfortunately We cannot publish the plans as they are copyright.

When we queried why all the above changes had not been advertised, the Divisional Planning Manager replied...

13 Dec.2004 
" In this case the plans addressed issues of detail required to ensure a quality residential development…. All files are open to the public therefore nothing is secret"
DIVISIONAL PLANNING MANAGER

I have replied as follows... "Detail? Seventeen dwellings moved; two house types changed; a road moved 11m into and along important wetland; and two dwellings omitted …and you call all these changes mere detail?
All these amendments are accepted by Planning and yet you put the onus on the “objectors”to find out by constantly visiting the files in Coleraine just in case amendments are made which planners aren’t publicising. This is totally irresponsible. But then that’s how you also treated the Environmental Heritage Agency
I then went on to ask..."What timescale and how often do you recommend objectors should monitor the Files?"
