Plans for seven-dwelling development at Coleraine's Queen's Park
Plans for a seven-dwelling development at Coleraine’s Queens Park have been submitted to Causeway Coast and Glens Council.
The application is for 23a Queens Park, Coleraine, and was submitted by applicant INNGODWEE Trust.
Planning permission is sought for a “proposed Housing Development for 7 detached dwellings (4 no. two storey dwellings and 3 no. two and a half storey dwellings) with associated car parking, garages and private amenity”.
A Design and Access Statement says the site is “a 0.275-hectare brownfield plot within the established Queen Park residential area.
"Site boundaries are defined by neighbouring properties and Queen Park, with open space of the Coleraine Academical Grammar School playing fields directly adjoining the site to the north".
The statement adds that the development will be “complementary to surrounding residential land uses, providing private gardens and shared surface access to promote privacy while maintaining community cohesion”
Regarding the layout of the proposed site, the statement said that access is “via a shared surface connecting to Queen Park and onward to Castlerock Road.
"Front doors and driveways onto the shared surface; gardens to the rear of the properties to maintain privacy. Layout preserves the setting of the adjacent listed school and neighbouring open space, ensuring no adverse impact on views or amenity”.
A Design Concept Statement adds: “The design provides a sensitive, high-quality residential development comprising 7No. detached dwellings. The layout maximises privacy, amenity, and sustainability, while respecting the setting of the school and the character of the surrounding established Queen Park residential development.”
