Look at the access road for example. A lot of drama made about the road to Ballykinlar, which is an A road and 5mins from Clough (and 15mins from Castlewellan).
It's 'A' shite road
Agreed its a shite road and its a bit of a misnomer to hide behind an arbitrary designation of "A" road.
The only significant problem with that location at the Finn is indeed the junction onto the main road which I'll freely admit is currently a crap one with cars flying over that brow coming from Castlewellan. But placing up smart signalling like this would go a long way to mitigating the problem. Other than that, hard to see the roots of any planning objections.
But lets not lose the forest for trees - that land is literally me querying propertypal this evening. More suitable have probable been ignored over the years to chase Ballykinlar and more suitable will probably coming up over the next few years too.
