Planners give green light for Dunluce Castle visitor centre

PLANNING officials have recommended approving renewed proposals for a state-of-the-art visitor centre at Dunluce Castle.

The owner of land surrounding the historic ruins secured outline planning permission in 2015 to replace existing farm buildings with a modern visitor and education centre.

An application to renew the approval was lodged earlier this year accompanied by a positive report on a community consultation exercise.

A final decision on the project will be taken by elected members of the council's planning committee later this month.
