A Stormont department’s ‘call-in’ on plans for a £13m Lisburn road have been labelled “political interference” during a council development committee meeting.
The one mile Knockmore link road to the M1 is a key piece of infrastructure to be built by a private developer close to the site of a 1,300 home application approved by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council in March 2021.
However, the link road plan for the £250m residential construction was called in by the Department for Infrastructure in January 2022 with no outcome given as yet leading to major delays to both the housing and road development.
