Hospital Site For Redevelopment
Outline planning permission has been submitted for a scheme that will see a former Belfast hospital transformed into a residential development.
Plans to build more than 300 new homes at the old Belvoir Park Hospital site in south Belfast have now been lodged to the Planning Service by the NI Department of Health.
The hospital, which opened over a century ago, features several listings. The prospective development would include 200 new homes on the site, with the listed buildings converted into 110 residential units.
Belvoir Park Hospital was once Northern Ireland's main cancer treatment centre until services were transferred to a new £60m facility in Belfast City Hospital in 2006.
A gated entrance, two gate lodges and six pavilion buildings are some of the listed features that will be retained in the development.
The environmental impact assessment, which was carried out to accompany the planning application, states that the proposed masterplan "will aim to preserve and enhance the historic character of Belvoir Park Hospital".
If and when planning permission is granted, the Department of Health plans to sell the site to an individual or property developer.
