Belfast City Council has given the green light for the conversion of a listed warehouse in the city's Village area to apartment blocks - despite local objections.
The council’s Planning Committee approved an application for a residential conversion of the old factory at 3-19 Rydalmere Street to form 57 residential units of one to three bed units, including 60 percent social and affordable housing. There will also be six new-build apartments, in a total of four blocks.
The application, by Cubic 3 of Bangor, includes a commitment to a minimum of 20 percent social housing for the development.
