Andras House Ltd complained about overshadowing, noise and student management
The building of a new 11 storey student accommodation block in Belfast City Centre is to go ahead despite a list of objections from a nearby hotel.
The council planning report states: “The application was approved by the Planning Committee on December 12, and delegated authority was given to the Director of Planning and Building Control to resolve the final response from the Stormont Department for Infrastructure Roads Division, the Section 76 Planning Agreement and the wording of conditions.
The council said further that Andras House had “concerns” about “the robustness of the student management plan” and the “inadequacy of the noise impact assessment.” The council said Andras House had further complained about “the absence of a tall buildings design statement and the consequential impact on the committee’s consideration of the application.”
There are two nearby student accommodation buildings which are operational, Botanic Studios at 78-86 Dublin Road and Vita at 27 Bruce Street.
