A developer, whose plan to demolish Havelock House was rejected, is making another attempt to level the building for a residential block.
In November 2020, Belfast City Council refused an application by Locka Ltd, a subsidiary of Olympian Homes, to demolish the former UTV building on Belfast’s Ormeau Road, to develop a 270 apartment residential building with courtyard gardens and 40 car parking spaces.
There were 73 objections from local residents, who complained about continued construction in the area, the height of the building, and only 40 car parking spaces being allocated in the proposal.
