Belfast Stories is required by law to carry out a pre-application community consultation. This is a formal public consultation before the submission of a planning application. Its purpose is to make sure that communities are aware of, and have an opportunity to comment on, our proposals before we submit our planning application.
This consultation builds on the two previous consultations carried out in 2022 and 2024.
This process begins on 13 November 2025 and will run for 12 weeks until 5 February 2026. We have events planned across the city to allow people to have their say. Further information is available online, please visit Belfast Stories Public Consultation November 2025 - Consultation Document. Please note images of the proposals will also be available to view online from 20 November 2025.
All events are drop in and do not need to be booked in advance except the public tours of the site. The public tours are now fully booked. Additional dates will be added in the new year. If you would like to be added to a waiting list please email us.
We look forward to receiving your feedback.
