Construction of the new Premier Inn hotel is expected to create 30 jobs with a further 30 jobs post-construction.
Planning permission for a new £5.5m Premier Inn Hotel close to Belfast International Airport was granted by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council’s Planning Committe on Monday evening.
The officer said one letter of objection has been received in relation to concerns over road safety and visibility but she said that Department for Infrastructure Roads has no objection. Access will be at Antrim Road. Airport Sinn Fein Cllr Annemarie Logue asked about a pedestrian link into the airport commenting on “very poor pedestrian access” in that area. Mr Diamond said a pedestrian link is planned between the hotel and airport.
Construction of the new hotel is expected to create 30 jobs with a further 30 jobs post-construction. “Overall, it is considered that the design, lay-out and appearance of the proposed hotel is in keeping with the character of the wider airport area,” the report also said.
