A developer has approached us and proposed amalgamating the council owned land at Barbour Park, the land owned by Sloan Street Presbyterian Church, and the former Richard Crowthers Autos site.
The developer is seeking to create a larger development opportunity with frontage onto Young Street, Union Bridge and the River Lagan. It will revitalise a key gateway site on an arterial route into the city and will see:
- the provision of a two-storey church hall
- a riverside apartment block of 43 units with designated car parking.
An improved greenway space with public access to the riverside towpath creating much needed greenspace for residents of the area is also proposed by the development.
We propose to sell the council owned site to the developer at market rate.
If you would like to find out more and share you views please attend the information session on Wednesday 15 January in Sloan Street Presbyterian Church Hall from 12 noon to 8pm or provide your feedback online at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/BarbourPark/
