A decision by Derry councillors to refuse planning permission for a new riverfront apartment complex has been overturned.
In March 2020, Derry City and Strabane District Council s planning committee refused Clanmil Housing Association permission to build a four-storey complex comprised of 39 apartments at Victoria Road.
However, Clanmil appealed the decision and it has now been overturned.
Local planning officers had described the location as ‘possibly the most difficult regeneration site’ in the city.
However, the officers had recommended that councillors approve the application for the Victoria Road apartments as the application was ‘entirely compliant’.

Housing association appeals decision to refuse riverfront apartments

A decision by Derry councillors to refuse planning permission for a new riverfront apartment complex will be appealed next week.
Local planning officers have described the location as ‘possibly the most difficult regeneration site’ in the city.
Clanmil Housing Association has proposed building a four-storey apartment complex comprised of 39 two-bedroom units.
It also includes rooftop amenity space, new access arrangements from Victoria Road, servicing and drop off provision, bin stores, cycle parking and landscaping.
However, the site location 22 metres below road level and sandwiched between the River Foyle and busy main road poses unique challenges.
