South Belfast residents have won their battle with the Irish Football Association and Tesco over the creation of a Lidl supermarket complex beside Windsor Park.
Blackstaff Residents Association, local politicians and others supported the Lidl complex plan, while the football association and Tesco supermarket voiced objections. The IFA are responsible for Windsor Park.
At this week’s meeting of the Belfast City Council Planning Committee, elected representatives approved the application by Lidl Northern Ireland for the erection of a discount supermarket, drive through cafe, landscaping, car parking, and associated site works on vacant lands at the access road to Olympia Leisure Centre directly opposite 9-15 Boucher Road, Belfast.
