The applicant, listed as Paul Ferguson, had put forward the proposals as a Planning in Principle (PiP) application. Such applications are limited in scope, as they are intended to establish whether a site would be suitable for development without the need for detailed designs. Planning officers judged the site’s location to be unsuitable for a variety of reasons, including its potential to harm North Down — a Grade II listed building. In a decision published in November,…
