One hundred homes – from flats to detatched houses – planned for middle of Lisburn

The proposals were lodged with planners last month, but have just come to light thanks to a trawl through the planning system by the News Letter.

Specifically, the blueprints will involve a development of detatched houses, semi-detatched ones, townhouses, bungalows and apartments, plus car parking, at 49-51 Hillsborough Old Road, to the south-east of the city centre.

The applicant is Lesley Developments (Lisburn) Ltd, with an address given as Osborne King, central Belfast.

There were few further details at time of writing, and a number of local councillors told the News Letter they have yet to see the exact layout of the proposed scheme.
