Ben Eden Avenue Off Downview Drive, BT15 was proposed by The Carvill Group; the group also proposed Ben Eden Court, Ben Eden Green and Ben Eden Park also Off Downview. These proposals were accepted at the Health and Environmental Services Committee on Monday, 10th April, 2000. Ben Eadan House was built in 1849 for a linen merchant – Valentine Whitla (1786-1865) in a similar style to that of Charles Lanyon. It remained a private house before the Redemptorist Community in Belfast bought it in 1951 and built St Clement’s Retreat House. Ben Eadan House was demolished in 1960.
