The subject comprises a block of forestry and grassland extending to c. 1 acre which is currently accessed from Kernohans Lane.
The land has a relatively flat topography and is currently used as open parkland.
Site & Proposed Development
OPPORTUNITY
The Council are seeking EOI’s for a parcel of land located at the Eco’s Nature Park. The Eco’s Nature park is a facility which provides an important recreational facility for local people and visitors as well as an essential flood plain service and habitat for wildlife.
It is intended that the future use of the lands would be complementary to the current use of the site and the Council’s Corporate Plan including community, heath and wellbeing and environmental benefits.
To ensure complementary opportunities, residential use will not be considered for this site.
TITLE & USER COVENANTS

Please note that there are currently restrictive covenants in respect of the site regarding use, eg to be used for open space and for recreational purposes only. If the successful applicant requires any restrictive covenants to be varied / released, this would have to be agreed with the Department for Communities and an independent valuation sought, and accordingly this would need to be factored into any consideration by the successful applicant.
