Renovations for the publicly owned 2 Royal Avenue building have been given the green light at City Hall, with plans to open up the rear of the building onto Bank Street, and improve the front entrance.
Elected members at Belfast City Council’s latest meeting of its Planning Committee approved proposed alterations to the listed building, including the provision of a new structural opening with new pedestrian entrance doors, roller shutters, improved boundary treatments and minor internal renovations.
The building, formerly used by Tesco, is a two storey high Victorian sandstone B+ graded listed building. It is in a prominent position facing onto Royal Avenue and was extensively extended to the rear of the site facing onto Bank Street late last century.
