Greenbelt levy for Cove Bay - Is it worth it?


Residents of Cove Bay have received details of the appointed landscape management company Greenbelt Group Ltd, and its plans for maintaining the Cove Bay development.

The arrangement is funded by payment of an Annual Management Charge from each homeowner in Cove Bay. In return, the Greenbelt will carry out the management of the open spaces and associated features.
Some residents are unhappy at paying for the upkeep of the development, others agree it is very necessary in order to maintain the excellent appearance of Cove Bay.

Greenbelt say: "Greenbelt’s Greenspace arrangement is acceptable to the developer and the local authority because it is secure in the long term and ensures that all property owners pay an equal and fair sum towards the ongoing management and maintenance of the open spaces and features on their development."

Groomsport Development

"Dear Sir, I would just like to say that the Village Association are 20 yrs too late in protecting, retaining the character of the Village.Cove Bay being one.The house built on Tank hill,which had a Green Belt on it. The Apartments built beside the Groomsport Inn, and all the other Appartments built and being built.The beach is a disgrace,with the grass banks growing closer to the sea. The list could go on" -Gary Beattie
