Planning permission is sought for a proposed first floor restaurant and, a Planning Statement says: “represents a sustainable, economically viable use of land within an established settlement limit. The principle of commercial/hospitality development has been firmly established by the historic hotel use.”

The Planning Statement continues: "While the surrounding area has successfully transitioned into a modern, luxury residential enclave, the proposed scheme will complement this mix beautifully. Adequate public parking and superb public transport links ensure that the development satisfies all regional access requirements without placing an undue burden on local infrastructure.”

Consultation on the project is open and the application will then go to the Planning Committee of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council for consideration.
