Councillor says 'concerns from my community is that the land is being taken up by student accommodation leaving less for housing'
A Belfast councillor has criticised the “clustering” of new and planned student blocks around the Sandy Row and Belfast city centre area saying it will leave less space for housing.
She added: “We have concerns about the clustering of student accommodation. As a Botanic Councillor you don’t need to tell me about the Holylands and the issue with unmanaged accommodation. A council officer said: “In speaking with the various communities down there and with the university and the purpose built student accommodation providers, they have felt to date it has worked well because it is managed. Whereas the Holylands is not managed.
The discussion came during an officer update on the “Belfast City Regeneration Tracker” which captured regeneration and development activity which took place in the city during 2022. The tracker was set up as a guide for the Belfast Agenda, a city community plan made by the council and other partners, and the Belfast City Centre Regeneration and Investment Strategy.
