Asda to keep investment plans under review
The retailer took the decision to withdraw the application ahead of the January meeting of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council’s Planning Committee.
Commenting on the issue, a spokesperson for Asda said: “Given that our planning application to build a new Asda store in Newtownabbey has been recommended for refusal, we’ve taken the decision to withdraw the planning application at this stage.

Aside from the new store at the Nortel site, the application also included plans for approximately 100 new dwellings, as well as office space and a call centre.
