A plan for a new 15 storey apartment block beside Custom House Square in Belfast City Centre has been recommended for approval to councillors.
Belfast City Council planning officials have recommended the green light in a report detailing an application to erect the 60 apartment building, at 35 to 41 Queen's Square, between McHugh’s pub and the ‘Boat’ residential/commercial development. Councillors will decide upon the application, by Duncairn Ltd of Douglas, Isle of Man, at next week’s meeting of the Planning Committee.
The proposed development is an amendment to a previously approved 16 storey building for 60 apartments, which was approved in 2013. Works on that approval commenced in 2018 but have not progressed, and the site is currently enclosed with hoarding.
