Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what his policy is on the use of the land occupied by Carpets
International (UK) Ltd. in Donaghadee, should it be unsuccessful in attracting a buyer. [132463]
Angela Smith: In considering the current use of this site, the need to provide an appropriate level of employment opportunity in
Donaghadee, and the lack of readily available alternatives, the Department of the Environment proposed that the land should be
retained for industrial use. This is reflected in the recently published Draft Ards and Down Area Plan 2015.

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress has been made on the development of the North Down
Waste Water Treatment Works at Donaghadee; and whether the Under-Secretary of State, the hon. Member for Basildon (Angela Smith),
has met the Donaghadee Planning Action Group in relation to this matter. [92302]
Angela Smith: The decision to locate the North Down Wastewater Treatment Works on the site adjacent to the Donaghadee Carpet Factory
was taken in February 2002 by Peter Robinson MP MLA, the then Minister for Regional Development, following a detailed site search
and appraisal process, and consideration and evaluation of all relevant factors.
An application for Crown Development for the Works was made by Water Service on 14 May 2002. The application was accompanied by an
Environmental Statement. Planning Service has consulted specialist advisers within Government and in the public sector on the
application and the Environmental Statement. A number of responses are awaited. When these are received, Planning Service will
assess the responses from consultees to ensure that they are satisfied with the content of the Environmental Statement. If further
information is required, an addendum to the Environmental Statement will be necessary.
The application and the Environmental Statement were advertised for public comment in accordance with the normal procedures. A
substantial number of objections have been received, including the Donaghadee Planning Action Group. On completion of the
consultation process associated with the planning application and the Environmental Statement, Planning Service will have to
consider the further processing of the application, including the need for a public inquiry.
In dealing with planning cases I have decided not to get involved in procedural and operational matters, and so have turned down
meeting requests where applications are at these stages. However, I have met with members of the Donaghadee Sewerage Action Group to
discuss issues relating to the selection process.
In parallel with the planning issues, the Valuation and Lands Agency has been asked to commence initial land acquisition procedures
for the site. The cost of the entire scheme has recently been assessed and is now estimated to be £42 million. The Works has been
identified as one of seven major wastewater treatment projects that may be suitable for inclusion in a Public Private Partnership
(PPP) programme of work. This programme is currently the subject of a detailed appraisal study that will take several months to
complete.

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the ownership of Donaghadee Harbour.
[90453]
Angela Smith: Under' the Donaghadee Harbour Act 1820, ownership of the Harbour is vested in the Donaghadee Harbour Commissioners.
The Board of Commissioners currently consists of officials of the Department for Regional Development, together with a
representative from the Department of Finance and Personnel. As the Department for Regional Development bears the cost of harbour
maintenance and upkeep, consideration is currently being given to bringing forward legislation transferring ownership of the harbour
to the Department.
