A request from a store in Belfast city centre's Cornmarket area to have large digital advertisements on its facade is facing opposition from officials at City Hall.
The planning report states the applicant said there was a “need for traditional and modern infrastructure to co-exist with the historic environment”. The report states the applicant said the impact on the setting of the listed buildings “should be considered acceptable” given the precedents already established in the city, and referred to Shaftesbury Square and the advertising sign next to the orange hall on the Albertbridge Road.
“The active, digital nature of the proposal would accentuate its impact. It is considered that the scale of the facade/advertisement would fail to protect important views into/out of the conservation area.
