Antrim Arms Hotel, 75 Castle Street, Ballycastle
Demolition of entire building which has been deemed a dangerous structure. CARE Structural Engineer suggested removal of gable wall by hand from a crane mounted basket, the cost of doing so is in excess of £1m, the company does not have the means to do this. Hand removal of the gable wall also takes almost 10 months longer than full demolition and would cause very significant inconvenience to residents and visitors to Ballycastle. Given above, the quickest, most cost effective, and least disruptive course of action is to demolish the entire building, making the area safe for everyone.
