  • Belfast Waterfront / Ulster Hall
    Appendix B Ulster Hall - Programming Policy 1. Introduction The Ulster Hall will reopen in March 2009 following a major refurbishment. This is the second phase of the refurbishment work (Phase I 2005-06) and will see major changes to the venue including: Ulster Orchestra taking residency in the venue Addition of interpretive displays Launch of an education and community outreach programme Opportunity for the venue to actively programme and promote a range of events. Since 2004 the venue has been managed alongside Belfast Waterfront and it is envisaged that existing expertise within the Waterfront staff structure will inform and direct the relaunch of the Ulster Hall. This document addressed the programming policy for the ‘new’ Ulster Hall, identifying the changes in the venue’s operation and management and taking into account the overall marketplace in which the venue operates. 2. Context This policy is based on the following assumptions about how the Ulster Hall will operate in the future: A receiving house and programming venue Programming will have a mix of commercial and developmental objectives Opportunity for business use of the venue will be exploited In-house PA and lighting facilities will be available Premises will be licensed – alcohol consumption permitted in the main space for standing concerts An improved environment – front of house facilities, seating, dressing rooms Hire charges will need to be set appropriately to reflect these changes in order to compete within the market, whilst acknowledging a previously loyal client base 90683 - 1 - 3. Historical and Current Position Historical Position Typically the Ulster Hall has hosted around 150 events each year.

This application is being dealt with by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. Proposal: Location: Site for a new cemetery including ancillary Land North of No.10 Quarterland Road located reception building, maintenance depot, between Carnaghliss Road and Quarterland attenuation pond, bridges, new vehicular Road, Dundrod. access, parking, waste water treatment works and demolition of existing farm buildings. Applicant Name Agent Name and Address: Strategic Planning Carston Undertakings Ltd 1 Pavilions Office Park Kinnegar Drive Holywood BT18 9JQ Site Location Map Background Full details of the planning application (drawings, reports and the Environmental Statement) can be accessed of the planning portal at http://epicpublic.planningni.gov.uk. Draft Response: Belfast City Council has no specific planning comments in relation to the merits of the submitted application. We would however like to provide some contextual information in respect of the projected need and demand for burial provision. As the Burial Board for Belfast, Belfast City Council’s current position is that we have limited burial capacity and the only new burial space has been developed at Roselawn, which lies outside the Council’s boundary to the East. To ensure that we have sufficient provision and in locations that serve all the residents of the city we have been searching for new burials lands since the 1990s. An extension to Roselawn Cemetery in the late 2000s provided the Council with a short to medium term solution but it has not been possible to secure new burial land to provide the Council with a longer term solution.
