Belfast Council noted Stormont plans to list two buildings in Queen's University area

A plan to list a Victorian era church in South Belfast is being questioned, it has been revealed at City Hall.

Councillor Garrett did not offer details of any questions or objections raised by the church lobby group. Designed by John MacGeagh, it is a large brick building in a modern style with neo-Georgian elements consisting of flat-roofed interlocking three-dimensional blocks of varying heights with a tall, canted entrance tower. The building is of similar style and detailing to the Sir William Whitla Hall, also by John MacGeagh which opened in 1949. Its proposed listing status is B2.

B+ also includes buildings that stand out above the general mass of grade B1 buildings because of exceptional interiors or some other features.
