A high-profile sculpture trail travelling the UK is facing opposition from locals in Holywood, North Down.
The “Our Place in Space” sculpture trail, currently in England, was approved by elected members at Ards and North Down Council’s recent meeting of its Planning Committee, despite facing opposition from local residents. The trail’s presence at the Planning Committee was triggered by six letters of objection from the public.
The proposal involves six sculptural artworks of the sun and planets, a new footpath and access to the coastal path, and associated works all at the grounds of the Ulster Transport Museum, Bangor Road, Holywood. None of the statutory consultees objected to the plan.
