Local Ulster Unionist Councillor Trevor Wilson said it looked to be an “exciting development” and would be good for the southend of Cookstown.

The applicant is Nigel McGurk, of TJ Hamilton/Mid-Ulster Cars, at Dungannon Road in the town, and the agent is Coalisland-based Clarman Partnership who will host an open day next month to outline the proposals.
