Save The Market

Locals in the Market area and their supporters (who lodged 856 objections Belfast Live) are celebrating yesterday’s decision by the Belfast City Council’s planning committee not to permit the development of an office park at the corner of Stewart Street and East Bridge Street, with buildings as tall as 14 storeys (BelTel). The proposal was originally rejected by the High Court in May, 2017 (see Sunshine Not Skyscrapers) but was revived last month by developer Kilmona Property (Irish News), causing the renewal of placards and banners in the area, such as those shown in today’s post.
