How to use BelfastBuild well.

A little detail goes a long way. The better the proposal summary, the more useful the screening result will be.

1

Enter the site postcode

Use a valid Northern Ireland BT postcode so the app can anchor the proposal to the right local context.

2

Describe the proposal clearly

Include the type of development, number of units or storeys, parking changes, extensions, access changes and any nearby sensitive context such as a conservation area.

3

Review the flagged policies

Use the conflict summaries and citations to understand which planning clauses may affect the proposal and where those clauses come from.

4

Refine before you submit

Treat the remediation guidance as a pre-application checklist to strengthen drawings, parking layouts, density choices and design rationale before moving forward.

02 · Describe the proposal

Tell us about the site.

A postcode grounds the spatial lookup; a short description lets the RAG pipeline surface the right clauses from the indexed policy set.
