The council has received eight letters of support and 121 objections.
Belfast’s Orange Order are among objectors to the Weaver’s Cross regeneration plan - described as as "bleak" at a City Hall meeting this week.
Just before this week’s hearing at City Hall a further letter of objection was received by the council from the County Grand Orange Lodge of Belfast. Also received were letters of support from the NI Hotels Federation and the Belfast City Centre Management Company, and a withdrawal of a previous objection from Donaldson Planning, who act on behalf of a multi-storey car park on Grosvenor Road.
He said the plan “was about the design of office buildings, not urban design”. He asked councillors to defer a decision by three months to allow the plans to be amended, and asked the council to study regeneration plans at Kent Street Railway Station in Cork. It also covers lands between Glengall Street and Hope Street, including the Europa Bus Station, Great Victoria Rail Station surface car parks at St Andrew’s Square, as well as Translink lands to the west of Durham Street, south of the BT Exchange building, and north of Murray’s Tobacco Works.
He added: “Translink has a significant role to play in the race to net zero, and it is committed to net zero emissions by 2040. Weaver’s Cross residents and occupiers will benefit from highly sustainable and environmentally favourable buildings and infrastructure, and will achieve active travel targets.
