Belfast councillors have given the go ahead for the regeneration of Carlton House, described as the great “eyesore” of Shaftesbury Square.
At Belfast City Council ’s Planning Committee meeting this week, elected representatives approved the erection of four additional floors of office accommodation and re-cladding of and front extension to existing Carlton House office building at 1-6 Shaftesbury Square. The building is between the more modern Equality House and a recent student accommodation block.
It adds: “Overall, the proposal would have a very positive impact in enhancing the site as the existing building is especially rundown and unattractive on this important gateway. The character and appearance of the area would be enhanced.” Council officers recommended the application to elected representatives. The Stormont Departments for Infrastructure Roads Division and Department for Communities Historic Environment Division, as well as Belfast Airport, the council Senior Urban Design Officer and Environmental Health all offered no objection to the new plan.
“There would be no adverse transportation impacts. It is considered that the proposal is acceptable having regard to the development plan and relevant material considerations.”
