ELECTED members of Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Planning Committee have approved a number of applications in relation to the Ebrington site.

As part of the proposal, members heard how there will be outside seating provided in the covered walkway at basement level and to the front of the existing building.

Recommending approval, planning officials informed elected members that the materials will complement, the historic setting and that all works will be conservation-led and undertaken by skilled contractors with proven experience of working with listed buildings and scheduled monuments.

“These latest planning applications come just a month after we approved a number of developments at the site including the change of use, refurbishment and extension to the guard house at Building 10 and 10a and plans for change of use at Buildings 85 and 85a.”
