Former Ballykeel Playing Fields, 18 Crebilly Road, Ballymena, BT42 4DN

Additional Information

• Circa 12 acres of land with Potential for Residential Development (STPP)
• Zoned white land within development limit
• Just 0.8 miles to the M2 Motorway and 0.6 miles to Ballymena town centre
• Located in a well-established market with strong demand for residential development
• Adjacent to existing social housing developments, recreation lands and community facilities

The subject land comprises a rare and attractive plot of potential residential development land in the heart of Ballymena (STPP).

Well-positioned approximately 0.6 miles from the town centre, and just minutes from key transport links, this site offers an exceptional canvas for a high-quality housing development or various other alternative uses (STPP).

The land benefits from relatively flat topography which slopes slightly downwards from south to north toward the Braid River.

The land is accessed via Ballykeel Lane off the Crebilly Road. The freehold to Ballykeel Lane is included within this sale and all Rights of Way for the surrounding landowners will be retained. Rights of Way include Ballykeel Business Park, Ballykeel Youth Club and the playing fields, the developer of the adjoining lands, NI Water and NIE.

Please see the Planning Section for further information on this.

The land is made up of three main areas:

• The land which sits behind Ballykeel Business Park, is where the 

former Ballykeel Primary School once stood (now demolished). This part of land is bordered by trees and hedging with parts of the site paved in tarmac, part in hardcore.

• The former hockey pitches in the centre of the lands. This land is expansive, flat and laid in gravel.

• Grassed areas at the northern end of the land which run down to the River Braid. A legal public path laid in tarmac runs through the northern piece of land.

We note that a small area of the riverbank in the subject lands is subject to floodplain designation.
