Council have been issued notice of the intention to construct a major development in Lurgan consisting of a mix of “market and social dwellings”.
The application, known as a pre-application notice (PAN), was put forward to Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council by KMBC Properties.
It relates to lands at Portadown Road, Lurgan situated south of the junction between Portadown Road and Wenlock Road comprising 3.23 hectares – almost eight acres.
KMBC Properties, a Magherafelt-based company, are behind several major housing developments predominantly in the Co Antrim and Londonderry areas.
The agent, Gravis Planning, has outlined in the application that a new NIE sub-station and associated infrastructure and site works will also be required.
Little detail has been provided in the current application, however, the developer does plan to hold a public consultation drop-in session to answer any questions.
The public event will be held in Lurgan Town Hall on December 12.
Invitation leaflets will be also distributed to all addresses within a 200 metre radius of the proposed development on the week commencing November 23, 2026. These leaflets will contain further information on the proposal and public consultation event, contact details for the project team and various means of providing feedback.
Individual briefings will be held with elected representatives upon request.
Further to the above, an online consultation will run between November 27, 2026 and January 8, 2027 on the Gravis Planning website to include consultation materials and a feedback form for those unable to attend the public consultation event in person. Feedback may also be provided through a dedicated email inbox, answerphone service and postal address.
Information on how to access these means of providing feedback will be included on the public notice associated with the proposal and also within the leaflet sent out to all properties within a 200 metre radius of the proposed site.
All local elected representatives were also informed of the notice on November 10.
The application will be advertised shortly.
