What PlanWatch Is Tracking in Lisburn and Castlereagh

PlanWatch currently holds 320 Lisburn and Castlereagh planning records across 200 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2026-03-26 to 2026-09-02. The most common categories in this dataset are Full (216), Discharge of Condition (31), Advertisement (30).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Check approved drawings

Match drawing numbers and revision letters before relying on a plan.
