New sports facilities at a Holywood grammar school are to be allowed to open to the community and offer extended opening hours despite objections from local residents.
At the recent meeting of Ards and North Down Council Planning Committee, elected members allowed Sullivan Upper School, Belfast Road, to alter conditions made on its previous approval, extend its hours and open it up to community use. On a vote eight councillors were in support of the application, two against and three abstained. The committee also agreed a site management plan with the school.
This week Ards and North Down councillors changed the opening hours to between 8am and 10pm Monday to Friday, 8.30am and 6pm on Saturdays, and between midday and 5pm on Sundays, including the use of floodlights in those hours. 26 letters of objection from eight addresses were received by the council, including a letter from Alex Easton MLA. Issues raised included use of the pitch, commercial gain, noise and light pollution, and an increase in traffic and parking.
She added: “Our homes are a place of refuge and safety, many work from home, and these applications will create real significant harm to our daily living conditions and will decimate the respite we have there. It will mean we cannot open our windows to ventilate our homes any day of the year because of the intrusive noise, protecting our vulnerable and elderly.
