Development deferred

PLANNERS' refusal for a proposed housing development at Circular Road, Dromore has prompted councillors to seek a deferral to allow consideration of an amended scheme.

Pacific Wharf Holdings of Portadown applied to demolish an existing dwelling and outbuildings on land at 35 Circular Road and to build six detached and two semi-detached homes, with carports.

Councillors Seamus Doyle and David Herron asked that the matter be deferred for one month.
