JB Autos Submits Plans for Expansion In Coleraine
Jan 17, 2025
JB Autos Ltd has submitted plans to Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council seeking approval to retain and expand its premises in Coleraine. The proposal aims to provide additional land for storing and displaying vehicles for sale, further cementing the company’s presence in the local motor trade market.
The application covers lands approximately 30 metres north and 60 metres south of 2 Dundooan Road, adjacent to the Portstewart Road. Key aspects of the proposal include the retention of a hard-standing area along the existing layby for vehicle display and storage and the retention of an existing shed on-site.
According to the planning statement submitted with the application, the expansion represents a minor extension to a long-established car sales business in the countryside. It acknowledges that JB Autos has operated at this location for several years and states that the proposal is intended to support the business’s ongoing operations by offering additional parking spaces and storage capacity.
The submission highlights the business’s ongoing role in the local economy. It emphasises that the proposed changes are modest and designed to support continued growth without significantly altering the area's character.
The council will now review the application, with a decision expected in the coming weeks.
