The lands have extensive frontage on to Larne Lough c. 1km in length.

The escarpment is steep and heavily wooded but may be useful as amenity land and/ or leisure use.

Larne is located in the north east part of the Mid & East Antrim Borough coastline and is the second largest seaport in Northern Ireland. At the time of the 2011 census, Larne had a population of 18,705, making it the third largest town within the Borough, behind Ballymena and Carrickfergus. Larne is connected to Belfast by the A8 road. This is a strategically important road within Northern Ireland and currently carries in excess of 17,000 vehicles per day including the high volume of traffic utilising the Port of Larne passenger and freight ferry services to Scotland.
The site is located on the Bank Road heading out of Larne, on the A2 towards Carrickfergus.
The site had outline planning permission granted for a mixed use redevelopment of the site under planning ref F/2005/0315/O. The Larne Area Plan 2010 has the site zoned for a mixed use redevelopment under sections OS4, IND3 and IN3.
