BBC NI submits planning application for HQ redevelopment

Posted on 22nd July 2019 by The Clean Feed Team Last updated on 20th November 2021 Filed under News

BBC Northern Ireland has submitted a planning application for the redevelopment of Broadcasting House in Belfast. The proposal confirms speculation that the existing buildings will be retained, although the office block and TV blocks will have updated facades.

The original Broadcasting House building on Ormeau Avenue was B1 listed in 1994, so the exterior of that structure will remain more or less untouched.

There’s a new ‘bridge building’ to link the existing buildings. Another addition is a planned public plaza on Linenhall Street. There will also be an internal reconfiguration and refurbishment of existing buildings (studio block, office block and Broadcasting House).

UPDATE: there had been speculation in recent years about the future of the Blackstaff facility, off Great Victoria Street in Belfast. Studio A, BBC Northern Ireland’s largest studio and home of the Nolan TV show, is based at Blackstaff. The BBC has confirmed plans to invest in this studio facility – this will include a new OB unit, which will act as a gallery for the studio.
