A Shaftesbury Square amusement arcade is to expand to a neighbouring building despite reservations being expressed at City Hall over its approval.
At the recent meeting of the Belfast City Council Planning Committee, councillors gave the green light for the change of use of ground floor of 23 Shaftesbury Square to amusement arcade including an extension and frontage alterations to allow for amalgamation with 22 Shaftesbury Square, beside the South Belfast NI Supporters Club. The application is by KB Shaft Limited, Newry.
The ground floor of 23 is currently vacant with whole building having been vacant since 2014. It will become an extension to Players.
