The Longstone site, Lisburn (2012-1)
The vacant and derelict houses on this site (see the earlier photographs in this shared description) had become an eyesore and the scene of local nuisance. The council was unable to enforce its demolition order following the insolvency of the owner. Now sold and demolished (July 2012) by agreement with the new owner.
Nos 168-174 Longstone Street, Lisburn


A site described by the agents as “The subject site is zoned as ‘white land’ in the draft Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015. In addition to the above we have searched the Planning Online website and note that there are no planning consents relating to residential or commercial development of the subject lands. We did however note that a planning application was submitted on 14th May 2007 seeking permission to develop 36 no. apartments on the subject lands. This application was subsequently withdrawn on 30 October 2007”. The houses were demolished in July 2012. The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of geographical and historical record only.
