A planning application for an apartment block in the Sandy Row area of South Belfast has been delayed following a wave of local objections.
At the recent meeting of the Belfast City Council Planning Committee, elected members delayed for a site visit an application by Benmara Property Ltd, Ballyclare, for a 55 apartment five storey residential building with 43 private apartments, six intermediate and six social housing units, at 1-5 Gaffikin Street Belfast. The street runs parallel to Donegall Road, close to Sandy Row.
The application site measures 0.17 hectares and is located on lands bounded by Gaffikin St, Donegall Road, Blondin St and Oban St. There is an existing car accessory shop, tyre centre and boxing club all within one large building on site at present.
