A plan to build social housing blocks comprising 46 apartments in Strandtown, East Belfast is being recommended for refusal by Belfast Council officials.
An application for the erection of a three storey 46 apartment building at 146 Parkgate Avenue, Belfast BT4, with associated car parking site and landscaping works, was deferred at the latest meeting of the Belfast City Council Planning Committee, for further discussion and for councillors to conduct a site visit.
The 0.3 hectare site is unoccupied and is covered in parts by hardstanding and scrub grass. It was previously occupied by a former residential building and has also been used for commercial purposes. The applicant is Parkgate Property Developments, of Mound Road, Dromore.
