Central Assets Realisation Team (CART)

Provision of planning advice on selected Government owned sites throughout Northern Ireland.

Our Involvement

We were appointed by the Strategic Investment Board as the planning consultants on a multi-disciplinary group known as the Central Assets Realisation Team. The aim of the project was to realise the maximum value of government landholdings by achieving planning permission where appropriate.

We assessed and prepared planning appraisals for over twenty five sites under the ownership of a range of different government departments indicating their suitable land uses and any other relevant planning constraints or opportunities. Additional advice was also provided to the CART architect when producing concept layouts. The planning appraisals concluded with a recommendation on the most viable options to obtain planning permission. A number of sites were further pursued with presentations to the relevant Government Departments.
