A new £15million retail park on the site of the former Unipork factory in Enniskillen is set to proceed after the Department for Infrastructure has withdrawn its "holding direction" on the project.
The Lakelands Retail and Leisure Park, which would include shops, a hotel, cinema and restaurants, had been held up after the Department said it would conduct a review into the planning application following a narrow vote to approve in the local authority’s planning committee.
In a letter due to be issued to a meeting of the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council committee on Monday night, DfI Chief Planner and Director of Regional Planning Angus Kerr says the holding direction ‘is no longer in place and the council can continue to process this application accordingly’.
