3 INTRODUCTION We have been retained by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society to present a Development Brief to interested parties for either an Outright Sale or a Site Fine development structure for the former Balmoral Show Grounds Site, at Harberton Park, Malone, Belfast, BT9. The lands which are to be offered in the Development Brief extend to approximately acres, and benefit from Outline Planning Consent for 140 dwellings. The site has an extensive frontage to Harberton Park, and the entire development will be accessed from Harberton Park. The site also enjoys the backdrop of Balmoral Golf Course. The Malone area is one of the most sought after residential areas in Northern Ireland, and the release of the Development Brief for the Harberton Park site represents an excellent opportunity for an exclusive high quality residential development.

4 LOCATION The Harberton Park site is undoubtedly one of the finest residential development sites in Northern Ireland. It is located in the heart of the South Belfast mature suburb of Malone, which would be regarded as an exceptionally sought after residential location. The setting of the site in Harberton Park provides easy access to Balmoral Avenue, Lisburn Road and the Malone Road. The City Centre, M1 Motorway and Outer Ring are within easy access. Public transport is available within close proximity with a main bus route on Lisburn Road, and a railway halt at Balmoral (Upper Lisburn Road), within a short walking distance. The nearby Lisburn Road provides for an exceptional array of social amenities including restaurants, bistros, and wine bars; in addition to convenience and specialist shops and boutiques. A choice of excellent Primary and Secondary Schools; and sporting / recreation amenities are also available in the immediate area including Balmoral Golf Club, Malone Golf Club, Dunmurry Golf Club, Mary Peters Track, Queens University Sports Complex, Barnett s Demesne, Lagan Valley Regional Park and Lady Dixon Park. The mature setting and prime location of this site amidst the array of facilities detailed above, are the principal reasons for the esteem with which the Malone area is held; and the reason why it has been one of the most sought after, aspirational areas in Northern Ireland, for house buyers for many decades. In addition, the fact that the majority of the Malone area is designated as a Conservation area, and the limited availability of any larger scale parcels of zoned residential lands, combine to render this as one of the only development opportunities for exclusive housing in Malone for several decades, and one which will not be available again for many years.
