The project is for the sale and development of a x ha site on the Mall in Armagh City Centre, directly adjacent to the Mall Shopping Centre.
The project comes out of the 2009 Armagh City Centre Masterplan. The Masterplan established a vision and concept plan for the future of the city, for the purpose of achieving a range of aims and objectives such as: enhancing the quality of life for Armagh’s residents; maintaining and enhancing Armagh’s historic character and identity; developing a sustainable economy based upon existing strengths; and developing Armagh as a tourist destination. The Masterplan identified and set out proposals and an action plan for realising the vision and concept plan. Specifically the Masterplan identified a number of sites that have both a symbolic and a practical role to play in bringing about the delivery of the Masterplan and the successful development of Armagh City Centre.
As part of the process of implementing the Masterplan the Department for Social Development (DSD) in conjunction with Armagh City and District Council (ACDC) now wish to bring this site on the Mall forward for development. It is the aspiration of both DSD and ACDC to see the Masterplan brought forward and in particular to see a development of an appropriate use and quality delivered on this key site which will contribute significantly towards the economic development and regeneration aspirations for the city.
