Frontage of the 150,000 square foot 'Holywood Exchange' retail complex near Belfast. This is a view along front of the complex and, despite construction being completed many years ago (I think as long as 2002), there are few tenants here. Part of the complex (in the far distance) is occupied by 'Next Home' and 'Harvey Norman' retail outlets; the reason for the empty units lies in a long planning dispute which resulted in significant restrictions being placed on the entire development. As it stands the units are "the subject of strict guidelines that dictate that only bulky goods can be sold".
