A plan for a new school car park in West Belfast has been delayed for councillors to have a site visit.
Elected representatives at Belfast City Council ’s recent Planning Committee agreed to defer an application for the provision of a car park with 24 spaces for Springfield Primary School, including access road and fencing. The site is at 425 Springfield Road, and the application is by the Colin Bingham Education Authority, Armagh.
235 letters of support have been received which include 26 letters from members of staff, individual letters from pupils and parents, two emails from parents to the headmaster raising concerns with safety, a group letter from the pupils council, a letter from the governor of Springfield Primary School and a letter from family support groups.
The proposal however does run contrary to council policy, which stresses that "land zoned for industrial and commercial use is reserved for appropriate types of development.”
