Apartments development marked for ‘consideration’
By William O'Connor
AN BORD Pleanála (ABP) has made a decision of further consideration/ amendment for plans for the Glen Abbey Complex on Belgard Road, Cookstown Industrial Estate.
Square Foot Property Services Limited had lodged a fast-track application with ABP for demolition of existing industrial buildings on-site and construction of 211 apartments and associated site works.

A further “consideration/ amendment” means “the development as proposed would not have a reasonable chance of succeeding” in its current form.
The board’s decision is not a refusal, as it has not reached that stage in the planning process.
Areas near the Glen Abbey Complex have already been earmarked for sizeable residential developments, including the development of 345 apartments at the former Cable and Wireless site on Airton Road.
