Three demolitions and replacement dwellings have been approved at one of Belfast’s most exclusive streets, despite local objections and council officers' concerns over part of the plan.
At the recent Belfast City Council Planning Committee meeting, elected representatives approved two planning applications by one family at Malone Park, which seen by many as Belfast’s Millionaire’s Row. Both applications are on sites situated within the Malone Park Conservation Area.
The applicants, Andrea McGarrity and Kevin McGarrity, both of 1d Malone Park, South Belfast BT9, received approvals to firstly to demolish their own dwelling at 1d, to erect a new detached dwelling there with associated siteworks, and also to demolish two existing houses around the corner at 450 and 448 Lisburn Road for the erection of two new dwellings. Both works are on either side of the historic Malone Park gate lodge.
