Can I ask for your support in objecting to the proposed housing at Pineview Park/Antrim Road, Newtownabbey. Planning Reference: Z/2014/0286/F. The land in question has been designated as woodland in the last BMAP. There are trees on the site that are protected with TPO's. If this proposal were to go ahead, the site at one of the steepest parts of the Antrim, would be destroyed, habitat included. The proposed scheme is not in keeping with the surrounding area, and a proposed 6-8M retaining wall would need to be constructed, not to mention the houses do not create a good environment. Increased on street parking, all on a site with at least three natural springs. The proposal would mean the removal of a path, that runs through the site. The path is used by many people on a daily basis. Please sign to object!

The environmental reports regarding the natural springs are coming together now. This confirms exactly what we feared about the site stability.

The momentum behind this objection is incredible. It is clear that the community will not let Pineview Park be destroyed.

This "off-the-shelf" approach to housing is not acceptable on this site. The scheme has no regard for its natural or built context. The density of housing is far too high for this area. The design is unimaginative and mediocre, and appears to have no regard for public amenity. An approval for this scheme, is an approval for developer profiteering at the expense of others.
To ensure the protection of wildlife and to protect against the risk of landslide, as an inadequate environmental risk assessment has been carried out.
Keep Pineview Green. Preserve the trees and natural habitat that is home to so many native wildlife. Not to mention over crowding, extra stress put on an already dodgy drainage system!!
I consider this development incongruous with its neighbouring context. The loss of the trees and vegetation will have a detrimental impact on privacy aspect and setting of existing properties. Naoimh O'Hare
This land is used by locals to access the better bus service on Antrim Road.Without the path people would have to walk down to Whitewell Road, then walk up to Hazelwood Park before reaching Antrim Road.The mature trees should stay.
I would like to update you all-the planners thankfully refused planning for the proposed development at Pineview Park/Antrim road. The developer appealed it, following the appeal a decision has been made that the appeal is dismissed! A huge huge thank you to everyone who singed this petition!
Woodland and wildlife is restricted enough in Belfast. I think there is little gain in its destruction to allow a few houses to be squeezed upon an already busy, condensed housing area.

I've lived here my entire life and use the path on a daily basis. I love being surounded by nataural land, instead of having apartments looming over our houses, blocking light. Plus, removing this path would make it significantly harder for us to get to the bus stops on the Antrim Road, which a lot of residents rely on. I strongly object. Leave some green land, please!
