Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has approved an additional eleven cottages at Ballylinny Cottages, Bushmills.

Members of November’s Planning Committee approved the erection of eleven holiday units, extensions to a barn-style building to provide an entrance lobby and swimming pool, an ancillary shed, and provision of parking spaces for a total of 36 spaces, at the site on Causeway Road.

A planning officer said this addition will increase the number of holiday units from 10 to 21 on the site, and recommended members approve the application.

The additional units are not being provided as additional buildings, but rather are being provided through a “reconfiguration and extension arrangement”.

The officer added: “A visual impact assessment was submitted [and] considers the proposal from several vantage points, and concludes broadly the site can absorb the development without detrimental landscape effects.”

With the exception of one abstention, members voted unanimously in favour of the application.
