A report for the United Nations cultural body, Unesco, has called for a halt to a proposed £100m golf resort close to the Giant’s Causeway. It said the planned Runkerry development would have an adverse impact on the world heritage site.
Unesco has published extracts of the report compiled after a visit to the Antrim site in February.
The report, carried out for Unesco by one of its advisory bodies, states that the planned resort – 550 metres outside the boundary of the Causeway site in north Antrim – would “create an irreversible change of landscape character” in a protected area of outstanding natural beauty.
