Full proposal: 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 inconvience to residents and vistors to Ballycastle. Given above the quickest most cost effective amd least disruptive coarse of action is to demolish the entire building making the area safe for everyone.
