1.2 National Vacancy Comparative Rates

Springboard’s research, published in October 2017, takes hand counted data from across mainland GB and Northern Ireland to provide a benchmark against which towns can measure themselves against (Figure Two). As noted in previous BCCM vacant unit reports, Belfast remains both above the UK and the Northern Ireland averages respectively. Belfast falls short of the UK benchmark by 7.3% and against the Northern Ireland benchmark by 1.44%.

2. Results

Overall there are 1184 ground floor units identified within BCCM’s geographical area (Appendix One). In real terms this is a decrease of 19 units overall on the last survey. This is due to demolition and the reduction of units from the Spires Mall complex which has now been turned into a conference centre. The results of this survey are shown against the findings from the previous four reports (Figure Four). A total of 197 vacant units were recorded in July 2017 (Appendix Two) which is a welcomed decrease of 12 vacant units in real terms from the August 2017 survey. The vacancy rate for October 2017, consequently, is recorded as 17.37% for Belfast City Centre which is a decrease of 0.73% on the previous report.

There are 122 vacant ground floor units within the BID geographical area, which makes the vacancy rate 15.89%.

4. Conclusions

4.1 The overall number of ground floor units recorded in this survey has decreased by 19 units in real terms from 1203 in July 17 to 1184 in October 17. The total number of ground floor vacant units has decreased by 12 units for this quarter from 209 to 197.

4.2 The figure of 16.64 % ground floor vacant units remains much higher than the UK benchmark of 9.3% and the regional average of 15.2% as recorded by Springboard. It is clear that Belfast continues to lag behind the rest of the UK.

4.3 October 2017’s vacancy rate of 16.64% is a decrease of 0.73% on the previous report for July 2017.

4.4 There have been a number of demolitions and unit take overs in the city centre since the last report. This includes the Speedy Hire unit on Chichester Street and 5 units have been removed from the High Street count as the River House development has now taken over all the ground floor units which were there previously. The Spires Mall unit has previously housed 15 units has been taken over as a conference and exhibition centre with the remaining two units (Andrew Watson and Size) now being counted as part of the Upper Queen Street figures.

4.4 Work was due to begin in autumn 2017 on Belfast Streets Ahead (BSA 3) programme in the north of the city centre however the new proposed date for the work to begin is now January 2017. The scheme will include Royal Avenue, York Street (from Royal Avenue to Frederick Street), Frederick Street, York Lane, Cathedral Gardens, Talbot Street, Exchange Street West and Academy Street, Curtis Street, Clarkes Lane, Great Patrick Street (part), Little Donegall Street (part) and Library Street (part). This part of Belfast City Centre is presently seeing great change and regeneration with a number of significant developments both planned and ongoing. With work also commenced on the new University of Ulster campus this area of the city centre will become a thriving location which should help to attract new retailers and businesses alike. The BSA 3 project will create high quality public spaces and footpaths through the use of new natural stone paving, improved street furniture, street lighting, and new urban trees, creating new public space as well as improving Cathedral Gardens and provision of public art.

4.5 The Royal Exchange development should help to improve the number of vacant units in the North Street area of the city. The proposed £400m mixed use redevelopment of the north-east quarter of Belfast City Centre is the innovation of Castlebrooke Investments. The proposed scheme comprises retail, leisure, residential, community and office space across 12 acres bound by Royal Avenue, Donegall Street, North Street, Lower Garfield Street and High Street. Phase 1 of the development has commenced with the regeneration of the Garfield bar site on Lower Garfield Street. A retail positioning study for Belfast City Centre was completed by Javelin Group for Belfast City Council's City Centre Development Team in August 2015. The report was commissioned to help inform the approach to a proposed retail development in the North-East Quarter of Belfast City Centre, and other potential city centre retail developments.


5. Recommendations

5.1 As per the Belfast Agenda, regenerating the city centre is key to creating economic growth. Belfast City Council needs to ensure the right mix of office space, retail, hotels, tourist attractions, creative industries, universities and colleges, not to mention housing throughout Belfast City Centre. Through the local development plan over the next four years, delivering city regeneration and investment projects is crucial to the development of the city and decrease in the number of vacant units. Also, with fourteen hotel planning applications submitted for Belfast over the next five years, this can only help to attract new business to the city centre.

5.2 As 55.62% of ground floor businesses within the BCCM boundary of Belfast City Centre are independently owned, it is important that free business support programmes available to SME’s continue, such as those provided by Belfast City Council e.g. the ‘Go for It’ programmes and also events that promote independently owned businesses such as ‘Independents Day’. More of these events are strongly encouraged to help strengthen and protect the local traders and encourage start-ups and entrepreneurship.

5.3 As discussed in previous reports given the high level of vacant units (particularly long-term vacant units) in areas such as Great Victoria Street, additional funding should be made available to animate vacant properties within the city centre. A similar project was successfully delivered in 2012 by BCCM to improve the aesthetics of areas in which long-term vacant properties were based. This would help to make the area more aesthetically pleasing for all users of Belfast City Centre.

5.4 Public grants should be made available where possible for long-term vacant units to be utilised for other uses such as spaces for community services, social enterprises, art displays, play schemes and adult learning centres etc.
