A planning application has been submitted for a residential development at 4-6 Harbour Road and 3a-3g The Promenade in Portstewart.

The proposal involves demolishing existing buildings and constructing a five-storey residential block with 31 apartments and two maisonettes.

Ground-floor parking would be included along with associated site works.

Twenty of the apartments are designated for social housing.

The site currently contains derelict buildings previously used for apartments and storage, with one laundry unit still operating.

The application states that the proposal meets local policy requirements for schemes exceeding 25 units by providing social housing where a need is identified.

The site is accessed from Harbour Road on the north-western boundary.
