'I would encourage continuation of that engagement particularly with the local GAA and soccer clubs that adjoin the site to ensure maximum benefit for the current and new residents'

Paul Maskey said news that 260 houses have been approved at Belfast Council is a “step towards addressing the housing crisis in Belfast”.

“I want to recognise the tireless efforts of the Sinn Féin council team, our local community and everyone involved in getting this crucial application across the line. Sinn Féin is committed to ensuring that every family and individual can live in a safe and secure home, and we will not rest until this is achieved.

Arder Carson, chairman of Belfast Council planning committee, said a “significant condition attached to the application was for the installation of a Puffin Crossing at the current entrance to the existing site”. “I would encourage continuation of that engagement particularly with the local GAA and soccer clubs that adjoin the site to ensure maximum benefit for the current and new residents who will be allocated the new homes. I am particularly happy to see the inclusion of the Puffin Crossing which I lobbied hard for, and the very strong condition attached to the approval that will ensure its delivery.
