Developer says mitigating plans 'include locating electricity sockets at certain levels above floor height'
A social housing scheme approved for Ballymurphy in West Belfast is to go ahead despite Stormont officials warning 34 of the homes might be vulnerable to flooding.
“DfI Rivers provided its response on August 30 and objected to the proposal on the grounds that a portion of the site is in a climate change flood plain, and the proposal is contrary to policy on climate strategy. However DfI Rivers have since confirmed that is advice for the committee to consider.” The officer told councillors: “there has been no substantive change in policy approach since last year when DfI Rivers offered no objection.”
The site, which was formerly used for a school, will also have pedestrian and cycle ways, public open space, a children's play area, landscaping, boundary treatments, parking, access via the provision of a right turn lane, and ancillary site works.
