Inner North West Masterplan

The Inner North West Masterplan

We’ve developed an Inner North West Masterplan, to guide development in this area. It is supported by strong urban design principles that will help shape the proposals.

The area, which covers 42.4 acres and is located in the city centre, is experiencing significant change, mostly as a result of a number of approved and planned development opportunities.

The masterplan seeks to create a new city centre mixed neighbourhood that:

• incorporates a mix of uses, including residential, commercial, retail and leisure, all joined through a strong and cohesive public realm
• considers the heritage of the area and the historic urban grain
• reinstates the historically lively economy of the Inner North West area
• promotes ‘city centre living’, with its social and environmental benefits
• strengthens the city centre’s urban fabric and streetscapes
• supports and strengthens pedestrian connections within the city centre, and to and from adjoining neighbourhoods
• delivers the ambitions of the Belfast Agenda, in line with the Local Development Plan.

We have appointed Clanmil Housing Association to develop a mixed use, residential led scheme in the city centre’s inner northwest area, in partnership with the Department for Communities.

1.7 acres of city centre land owned by us and the Department for Communities at Little Donegall Street, Library Street and Kent Street will be developed as a significant housing-led regeneration scheme. This residential scheme, which will have placemaking and neighbourhood connections at its core, will deliver a range of mixed tenure homes, consisting of social and private houses and apartments. It will also feature community infrastructure spaces and commercial units.
