The Planning (General permitted development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 Direction Made Under Article 4(1) relating to:

Malone Park Conservation Area

Whereas Belfast City Council (“the Council”) being the appropriate local planning authority within the meaning of Article 4 of The Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 (“the 2015 Order”) is of the opinion that development of the description set out in Schedule 1 hereto should not be carried out on the properties set out in Schedule 2 hereto all of which are sited within the Conservation Area of Malone Park unless permission is granted on application made under Part 3 of the Planning Act (NI) 2011.

And whereas the Council is further of the opinion that the control of such works is expedient in furtherance of the requirements of Article 104 of the Planning Act (NI) 2011 in that such works could threaten the preservation or enhancement of the character and appearance of Malone Park Conservation Area.

Now therefore the Council in pursuance of powers conferred upon it by Article 4(1) of the 2015 Order hereby directs that the permission granted by Article 3 of the 2015 Order shall not apply to development described in Schedule 1 hereto on the properties set out in Schedule 2 hereto.
