Developer Lagan Homes said it plans to build 1,000 new properties on a 96 acre site in Dundonald.

Robinson said the scheme would provide a welcome boost to the local
building sector.
Lagan Homes Managing Director Conor Mulligan said the timing of the land acquisition is "perfect".
"We
will seize on these opportunities to both expand our portfolio and
avail of the opportunity to deliver affordable family homes on what is
one of the best sites in Belfast."
John Armstrong, Constructors
Employers Federation head, said much-needed work would be open to
engineers, bricklayers, electricians, fitters, roofers, tilers and
countless other related businesses such as quarries and kitchen/window
