Discount store Home Bargains has officially lodged a planning application with Mid & East Antrim Borough Council for a proposed retail unit with garden centre, car parking, service yard, retaining walls, access, and general site works.
The retailer has identified a site at Shore Commercial Park, Belfast Road, formally Courtaulds factory that closed in 1981.
Architects drawings reveal a 30,000 square foot store, with a 10,000 square foot Garden Centre area attached to the main unit.
Home Bargains currently leases a unit in the town’s De Courcy Centre.
The application will go before the planning committee within the next few weeks.
The plans are similar to those recently lodged for a new Home Bargains outlet in Ballymena.
