Developer announces housing plan for former Tyrone County Hospital site in Omagh Up to 170 residential units could be built on the site of the former Tyrone County Hospital. Ryan McAleer

THE site of the former Tyrone County Hospital in Omagh looks set to be turned into a large housing scheme under a £25 million proposal by a south Derry property development firm.
South Bank Square Ltd has announced plans for 170 units on the former hospital site, which closed in June 2017.
The company, owned by Maghera businessman Seamus Gillan, bought the 20-acre site in late 2019. It was placed on the open market in June 2019 after a succession of public sector bodies passed on the site.
