A 200-house residential scheme for Newry is being recommended for planning approval.
It's despite the submission of 207 objection letters.
Plans for the site at Watsons Road/Dorans Hill were first submitted four years ago, but residents claim it can't cope with the planned scheme.
Original plans have since been redrawn and amended.
