BW Social Affordable Housing, the locally based house builders, successfully submitted an application for the provision of the new homes at this week’s monthly planning committee meeting of Derry & Strabane Council.

The development is to be delivered in collaboration with Apex Housing Association.

It’s understood it has been almost 40 years since the last significant housing development in Ballymagroarty.

The approved plans include a large open space with a play park, nature walks, picnic areas and wildlife meadows.
