MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Manager make a report on the shops that have closed in Council-estates? (Fettercairn, Glenshane, Rossfield).

And what are the plans for use of them?"

REPLY:

The former residential shops at Glenshane, Kilcarrig and Kilclare have all recently been closed and subsequently taken back into Council control.

It is anticipated that the three sites mentioned above will be re-developed into small infill housing schemes. Any development works will require a full assessment and feasibility, with an Architectural and Design Team assigned to the sites, along with an approved funding stream. In addition any proposed re-development for these sites will need approval through the Planning process.

The former shop at Rossfield is being re-developed as part of the approved infill housing scheme, approved by the Members, for the Rossfield area.
