Our Documents

Welcome to “Our Documents” – a comprehensive repository of the research and information that we have diligently gathered since January 2022. Here, you will find a wealth of detailed insights and compelling reasons why we strongly object to any further development within the expanse of the Lagan Valley Regional Park, with a particular focus on this small site and a full awareness that there are more development applications upcoming (see page 53 Q5 or our Q Blog Post ‘We have seen the future’).
