The 0.9 hectare site takes the form of a truncated rectangle and is located on the
junction of Faulkner Road and Clandeboye Road, Bangor. The site comprises the
buildings and curtilage of four warehouse units to the boundary with the
Faulkner Road. The units were formerly used as a poker hall, kids club, multipurpose
sports arena and snooker hall are now vacant.
A portion of the site between the multi purpose sports hall and snooker hall is
clear of buildings and is characterised as a mixture of hard standing and grassed
areas. The site falls to its north eastern corner and there are number of
associated level changes across the site. There are two points of access into the
site from the Clandeboye Road and one point of access from the Faulkner Road.
The site is situated in close proximity to the junction of Clandeboye Road and
West Circular Road, a dual carriageway and protected route.
The site is located within a predominantly residential area. To the north of the
site is Marquis Manor, a three storey red brick apartment development. The
boundary with the proposal site is characterised by a retaining wall which
extends in height from one metre at its boundary with the Clandeboye Road to 5
metres at the site’s western extent. There are warehouse units to the south,
east and west of the site. There are existing areas of open space in proximity to
site, in the form of Bangor Football Club and open space opposite Clandeboye
