Answer

The Department’s view that traffic is operating satisfactorily in the Donaghy’s Lane area of Larne is based on inspections, observations, and judgement of the engineering staff. It should also be noted that developers, as part of their planning approvals are required to carry out a number of road improvements at Donaghy’s Lane/Antiville Road and Ballyboley Road. Drawings showing the full details of these works can be found on the planning portal.
