mixed-use

Outline approval for a major new redevelopment on the site of the former Sirocco Works on the east bank of the River Lagan has been given the go-ahead by Belfast City Council.

Transport for London (TfL) and Aviva Investors have completed a deal that will see a mixed-use scheme above Crossrail infrastructure and opposite the new Liverpool Street Elizabeth line station’s western entrance at 101 Moorgate.

Fears about the health of the high street have been ‘exaggerated’. Its death is a ‘myth’ and retail is key to the regeneration of failing urban centres.

Two planning applications proposing major residential, commercial and infrastructure developments for a £250 million sustainable mixed-use neighbourhood at Blaris, Lisburn, have been lodged with Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.
