Rosemary Street building was previously an Ann Summers sex shop
Objections by the First Presbyterian Church in Belfast to a plan for a new gambling establishment at the site of an old Ann Summers shop in Belfast city centre have failed to sway councillors, who have approved a planning application.
South Belfast DUP MLA and the current Assembly Speaker, Edwin Poots earlier this year lodged an objection to the application at City Hall. There were three letters of objection in all sent to the council. "They do not provide an active street frontage at the ground floor level because their interior is screened. They do little to project an image that Belfast is open for business.”
A council planning report on the application states: “The proposal is for a change of use of the premises to an adult gaming centre only. No external alterations are proposed. Adult gaming centre shop fronts are by their nature largely screened so as not to publicise the activities inside. It adds: “Environmental Health considered the potential impact on the proposal in terms of noise, odour, contaminated land, litter and general nuisance and offered no objection to the proposal.
