Causeway Coast & Glens Council Planning Committee to debate application for Dunluce Castle visitors' centre

Plans for a visitors’ centre at Dunluce Castle which had previously been turned down are to be debated by Causeway Coast and Glens Council’s Planning Committee on Tuesday, January 25.

The original planning application relates to land adjacent to Dunluce House, 87 Dunluce Road, Bushmills.

Planning permission was sought for “demolition of existing agricultural, storage and cafe/dining/retail buildings, erection of tourist/recreational/educational/hot food/retail/conference and office facilities to include a visitor centre building incorporating tourism, recreational, educational hot food, retail; conference and office uses and the creation of a new and amendment of an existing access onto Dunluce Road and ancillary development related to the proposal.”

Refusal was previously recommended by Council’s Planning Committee due to lack of information in relation to matters raised by DFI Roads and NIEA Natural Environment Division.

The requested information has now been received and committee members will discuss the application at its meeting in Cloonavin on January 25.
