Planning application

Scottish Provident Building 7 Donegall Square West, Belfast, BT1 6JH

Granted Belfast LA04/2025/1497/LBC Listed Building Consent

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Repair and reinstatement of damaged sandstone elements to the external façades. Loose, delaminated and defective stone will be identified, removed, and replaced with new natural stone to match the existing in colour, texture and profile. Where appropriate, mortar repairs using lime-based mixes will be carried out to consolidate minor areas of surface loss. Open or defective joints will be raked out and repointed with lime mortar. Localised cleaning and biocide treatment will be undertaken. Temporary propping and crash decks will be installed where required to ensure safety during works.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
