What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Lisburn and Castlereagh for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About amendments applications
How this application type works
An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.

LA05/2026/0416/NMC Granted
80A Belsize Road, Lisburn, BT27 4BP
The original design proposed a full white render finish with a charred timber-clad, single-storey side extension. Our amended design retains the white render on the first floor and introduces red facing brick to the ground floor and chimney. The proposed material palette establishes a strong contextual relationship with the surrounding streetscape. By introducing red facing brick to the ground floor and chimney, the design directly references the architectural vernacular of neighboring properties, which typically feature brick ground floors and rendered first floors. The brick chimney honors the traditional brick gable ends of adjacent homes. This strategic use of materials ensures the new dwelling sits comfortably within its established context, successfully balancing local heritage with a modern, contemporary aesthetic.
