It will be a temporary feature as the visitor attraction is being built
A two year 'green and grow' community facility has been approved at the site of the new Belfast Stories building.
The facility will contain green and grow space to include raised beds, pollinator towers, rainwater harvesting containers, compost bins, solar panels, seating and toilets. The space will be partly covered by a stretch tent and there will be a shipping container to provide ancillary office space.A council planning report states: “The application is considered to comply with policy in that the proposal is an appropriate use of benefit to the local community.
“The proposal is located within close proximity of Belfast Central Library at 126 Royal Avenue. The proposal is considered to comply with policy in that key views of the listed building will be retained and the scale and height of the temporary proposal is sympathetic to the listed building.” Before the initial design stage of the project gets underway, members of the public are being asked to share their views on the outline concepts for the building and what Belfast Stories could mean for them. The public consultation is open until November 14 and can be found here.
