A new apartment development has been proposed for the site of a former police station in North Belfast.
If plans are approved by Belfast City Council, the site at 62-79 York Road could become an apartment development consisting of 23 units, parking, and communal amenity space.
The planning application was submitted by CYM Properties Ltd on March 28. Plans would see the demolition of the former PSNI station currently on the site.

The station remained active until 2014 when it was earmarked for closure as part of £80million in budget cuts. It officially closed in December of that year, with operations transferred to the Antrim Road station. The site has since remained vacant.
The proposal description for potential hosuing on the site states: "Demolition of former police station, and erection of apartment development to comprise 23 units, parking, communal amenity space, bin storage, landscaping, access and ancillary site works."
Plans state the apartment block would be three-storey and will consist of 20% affordable (co-ownership) properties. The 23 apartments would consist of five two-person, one bedroom apartments, 15 three-person, two bedroom apartments, and three two-person, one bedroom wheelchair accessible apartments.
Planned parking for the proposed site would include 13 car parking spaces and 20 bicycle spaces to the rear of the site.
