Plans to convert former Scouts Hall into home in North Antrim

Plans for a dwelling at a former Scout Hall have been submitted to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

The recently-submitted plans seek permission to convert the Scout Hall at 10 Market Street in Ballycastle, providing a new residential development which will “create a quality and sustainable residential environment”, an accompanying Design and Access Statement said.

The statement added:

“The development involves minimal changes to the external appearance of the building, [and] therefore respects the character of the surrounding area.

“The proposed will make use of the existing vehicular access from Moyle Road with the existing yard being utilised as amenity space.

“There are no changes required to the boundary treatments, and there will be no adverse effects on the local character and architectural features design and setting of the existing building.

“The proposal maintains and enhances the form character and architectural features, design and setting.”
