Planning application

65 Ballynagross Road, Downpatrick, BT30 7EQ

Awaiting decision Newry, Mourne and Down LA07/2026/0886/LBC Listed Building Consent

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Installation of a roof-integrated solar photovoltaic array using the GSE mounting system on the south-facing roof of the curtilage-listed former stable/agricultural building, together with associated cabling and electrical equipment. Underground cabling will connect the array to the existing electrical system. The building will continue in its existing domestic and storage use; no change of use is proposed. The development will generate renewable electricity for use on the estate.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Newry, Mourne and Down 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 heritage and listed buildings applications

How this application type works

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
