An application for a drive-in cinema in Carryduff has been granted amid objections from local residents.
Councillors unanimously approved the decision at Lisburn Castlereagh City Council’s Environmental Services Committee on April 7.
Last month a representative in objection to the license outlined their reasoning for the complaint.
Objectors said traffic congestion on the Saintfield Road caused “huge issues” for local residents, while complaints were also made over air pollution, noise and lighting from a large LED outdoor cinema screen being reflected in local homes.
Let’s Go Hydro applied for the Annual Outdoor License in October last year, but said last month they currently had ‘no plans for an event at present’ in line with the current Covid-19 regulations.
It reopened some US screens at almost two-thirds capacity on Good Friday, coinciding with the release of Godzilla vs Kong.
More are due to open, and Cineworld is preparing to throw open the doors at its UK sites on May 17. The enthusiasm to watch films on the big screen will ‘give great heart’ to UK cinema groups before they restart, says UK Cinema Association chief executive Phil Clapp.

Leading figures in the UK entertainment industry have expressed reservations about the prospect of using Covid passports as venues reopen, especially if they require proof of vaccination.
The government has said Covid-status certificates could be used at theatres, nightclubs and festivals from June.
They could be used to prove if a person has been vaccinated, has had a recent negative test or has natural immunity.
But some industry figures say they have deep concerns over the proposals.
The announcement of a series of pilot events, which will start later this month, has already proved controversial.
