Portrush: 12 apartments proposed on site vacant for many years
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has received plans for 12 new apartments in Portrush.
The recently-submitted application seeks permission for 12 apartments, including on-site parking provision and amenity spaces, on a vacant brownfield site at 3-5 Lansdowne Crescent.
An accompanying Design and Access Statement said the site was once occupied by a development until the buildings were demolished.
“The site is a 0.1-hectare vacant plot within an Area of Townscape Character (ATC) within the town of Portrush,” the statement added.
“This site has been vacant for many years and represents both an anomaly and an unsightly parcel of land due to its vacant nature within this designated area.
“The applicant’s vision for the site is to create an attractive apartment scheme that is sympathetic to the site and its wider characteristics, including being respectful of the established building line, fenestration, and inclusion of box bay windows, along with matching the ridge/eaves lines.”
The proposed development is compliant with all planning policies, the statement added.
