Plans for six Portrush dwellings on site of two Bushmills Road properties approved by Causeway Coast & Glens Council
Planning permission has been granted for the demolition of two Portrush dwellings and the erection of six semi-detached houses in their place.
The planning permission relates to Nos 4 and 5 Bushmills Road, Portrush.
The applicant, DLL Properties Limited, sought permission for the phased demolition of existing dwellings and outbuildings and erection of six two-and-a-half storey semi-detached dwellings with associated car parking, landscaping and access from Bushmills Road.
A Design Statement said: “The landscape design is focussed on creating high quality outdoor residential amenity space. The newly proposed stone wall and timber gates of the front boundaries will create screening from road traffic noise, and fit with the coastal character of the surrounding area.
"The concave plan form of the walls at each entrance creates an area for vehicles to wait safely whilst entering or leaving the site. This design also improves visibility along the Bushmills Road.”
The Statement added: “The general approach to delivery of the scheme is a phased approach to construction. At present the existing site at No.5 Bushmills Road has already been cleared and part of the No.4 site reconfigured to permit the construction of plots 3,4,5 and 6 only.
" Additionally, the proposed entrance for plot 2 has already been constructed to serve as the new temporary access to the existing No.4 dwelling."
“The Phase 2 implementation will then involve the subsequent demolition of the remaining dwelling and outbuilding at No.4, preparation of the site including the construction of the final entrance and boundary wall relative to Plot 1, and the remainder of the scheme will be completed as per the submitted planning drawings.”
