Woodland Kitchens facility in Rasharkin, County Antrim
Plans for a new storage unit for manufactured products in Rasharkin have been submitted to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.
The application was recently submitted to the council’s planning portal on behalf of Woodland Kitchens, and seeks permission for the storage unit to the east of an existing workshop on Portna Road.
According to an accompanying Drainage Assessment Report, the proposed site has an area of approximately 0.95 hectares and is bounded to the north with an unbound laneway and to the east with greenfield agriculture lands, while the southern boundary is bounded with an undesignated watercourse.

The Assessment stated:
“The proposed development is within 2.5 hectares of greenfield nature currently utilised for agricultural purposes.
“The Gortereghy Burn flows from north-east to south-east, though the existing yard with a mixture of open and culverted sections.
“The proposed site will be accessed over the culverted sections of the Gortereghy Burn, through the existing entrance on Portna Road, traversing through the existing compound.
“The development [will have] no adverse impacts to other development or features of importance to nature conservation, archaeology, or the built heritage.”
