The surrounding area comprises a mix of commercial and residential users.  A large Co-op convenience store with associated car parking facilities is located directly adjacent. Further east of the subject exists neighbourhood retailing facilities arranged in a linear format along Longstone Street.

Description

The subject comprises of 4 no. semi-detached dwellings each set on large sites fronting onto Longstone Street. The dwellings have been vacant for a considerable period of time and are generally in a poor and dilapidated state both externally and internally.

Once cleared of all existing structures the subject will be a reasonably regular shaped flat site with potential for residential and/or commercial development subject to planning.

Planning

The subject site is zoned as ‘white land’ in the draft Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015.  In addition to the above we have searched the Planning Online website and note that there are no planning consents relating to residential or commercial development of the subject lands. We did however note that a planning application was submitted on 14th May 2007 seeking permission to develop 36 no. apartments on the subject lands. This application was subsequently withdrawn on 30 October 2007.
