Our Proposals

In 2025, planning permission was granted for 62 social housing units and a new Children's Centre. As part of the wider redevelopment, Newpark Developments are proposing to add 15 additional social homes and to change the existing approved plans for the Whiterock Children’s Centre.

For further information on the previous proposals, please visit the consultation website here.

Phase One of the scheme (44 units) is already underway and phase two will see another 33 units constructed at Whiterock Road. Phase two will be as follows;

• 1no. 3 Bed House

• 1no. 5 Bed House

• 2no. 3 Bed Maisonette Houses

• 3no. 2 Bed Maisonette Houses

• 2no. 3 Bed Apartments

• 11no 2 Bed Apartments  

• 12no. 2 Bed Apartments for people over 55

• 1no. 1 Bed Apartment

A number of these homes will be wheelchair accessible properties.

The housing proposals seek to address the growing need for high-quality social housing in West Belfast by providing approximately 77 homes (26 houses & 51 apartments) within the scheme compared to the previously approved 62. These new homes will be supported by extensive areas of amenity space throughout the site along with private garden areas.

The new Children’s Centre will provide a purpose-built community facility designed to support the needs of the local community by delivering space for children of all ages and needs.
