Praxis Care Headquarters – 18 Windsor Avenue, Belfast

Consultations

Praxis Care Headquarters – 18 Windsor Avenue, Belfast In May 2020 planning permission was granted for the demolition of the existing office building and the construction of 17 apartments with amended access. Praxis has a changing need for office space with more employees working on a more flexible basis and splitting their time between home working and office working. Following the Covid-19 pandemic the workplace solution needs greater space for fewer employees. At the same time Praxis’ existing headquarters office on Lisburn Road is no longer fit for purpose and in order to accommodate staff on a flexible basis they require an increase in office accommodation at Windsor Avenue to accommodate their corporate services. These needs have led to the formulation of these proposals which will in essence see the…

This proposal brought a new concept to retail warehouse parks in NI, that being a stand alone restaurant/food court. This site had a complex planning history which Pragma assisted the client in negotiating a path through to obtain consent for this scheme. Although now complete, planning permission has been granted to extend it further with work due to commence on site shortly.

Dunluce Castle

Case studies, Featured

Dunluce Castle Tourist Visitors Centre involves the provision of a new visitors centre adjacent to the castle. Pragma were instructed after the project had been in the planning system for several years and had become stagnated. We in association with Carson McDowell Solicitors injected new life into the project, following a fundamental review of the issues, which were obviously heritage, archaeology, visual impact and planning policy related. In addition there was competition from a rival scheme some distance away that was being promoted by NIEA. The forensic review of the project necessitated some alterations to the scheme but resulted in a planning permission being granted at Planning Appeal for the same floorspace as had originally been sought. The scheme is progressing to reserved matters at present.

Belvoir Park, which is currently on site, is set to become one of Belfast’s most prestigious residential developments.

The project involved close collaboration with the various architectural practices working on the scheme to ensure the issues of conservation, contamination, ecology and roads were adequately addressed. We also established a close working relationship with NIEA in respect of the Listed Buildings across the site and ensured that the scheme progressed through revisions to the original masterplan and a series of reserved matters and non-material change applications that ensured refurbishment of individual listed buildings were undertaken in association with…
