Meeting told some families hoping to get homes have been on the housing waiting list for more than five years
A planning application for new social housing in Parkgate was refused by Antrim and Newtownabbey councillors at a meeting on Monday evening.
Senior planning officer Alicia Leatham told the committee that “an alternative site does appear to be available to accommodate the proposal in Parkgate” and the recommendation was for refusal.

Barry Diamond, the council’s Head of Planning, commented: “In terms of assessment, it is a very frustrating process for everyone when you have an application in the system for two years. There is an onus on the applicant that they must keep their information as robust and up to date as possible.
