Retail NI, Newry Chamber of Commerce and Newry Business Improvement District have urged Newry, Mourne and Down Council to reject the proposed out of town retail application in Carnbane. The Council will consider the planning application tomorrow, 13th November.
This application, combined with the retail floor space of the food superstore, amounts to an eye-watering total of 22,653 sqm gross retail floor space (243,834.86 sqft) at an out of town location. This does not include the restaurants and café, which would also be deemed to be main town centre uses.
