140 houses for Kings Hall

Planners have today indicated their support for 140 house at the Kings Hall in South Belfast. This is despite over eighty objections from local residents.

This is all part of a much bigger RUAS agenda to get money in order to either develop the Kings Hall or to move the show grounds to the Maze site.

If you are a resident all is not lost. This needs to pass two final tests. First it needs Belfast City Council's approval and second it needs the approval of the RUAS membership. People with concerns about the impact an extra houses would have on this part of Belfast should urgently contact their local councillor and lobby members of the RUAS they know.
