Planning permission to redevelop a former Dungannon nightclub into apartments and retail units has been overturned by the High Court following legal action taken by local business people. On Friday, January 23, the High Court overturned the original planning approval for the redevelopment of the former Fort Bar and Salt nightclub site on Scotch Street. The scale and nature of the proposed retail units were simply not suitable for Dungannon’s main shopping thoroughfare. “At the High Court in Belfast, the judicial review concluded with the Judge formally quashing the planning permission. That decision has now been set aside by the High Court, paving the way for the plans to be reassessed in full.
