Answer
I am satisfied that all material considerations have been assessed by officials for the marine licence application, reviews of the discharge consent and abstraction licence for the proposed Islandmagee gas storage development. Therefore, I do not intend to review the decisions on the matter.
Final licences were issued to the applicant on 5 November 2021 and have now been made available along with the Habitats Regulations Assessment on the DAERA webpage.
