Exceptional Prime Riverside Development Site With the benefit of Full Planning for a Residential Scheme comprising 34 no. Apartments with Restaurant / Café Unit.

Key Point: Foul and storm drainage connections /outfalls resolved and available.

The site is located off the Castleroe Road and the proposed development will face directly onto the River Bann with panoramic vistas of same and the Mountsandel Fort - Ireland’s oldest known settlement.

For the first time the Society are now offering the straight sale of this key development opportunity site following feedback from an EOI Process which highlighted strong demand for disposal by sale.

It is a rare occurrence for an opportunity such as this come to the market for sale and in the current market to have a site virtually ’Spade Ready’ with drainage issue resolutions agreed rarer still.

Planning is approved for the development of 34 spacious apartments with frontage directly onto the River Bann just above ‘The Cutts’ and opposite the historically significant c. 10,000 year old Mountsandel Fort.

This once in a generation development opportunity has been skilfully conceived by the team at GM Design, Coleraine, to integrate fully with the landscape in a way that reflects the site’s industrial heritage and at the same time keeps a firm view on the sense of place and community.

Full Planning permission is now granted for the development of the site which also provides a dedicated space for the introduction of a restaurant / café and office.
