Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Planning Committee has granted permission for 161 new homes in the Newbuildings.
The application by Benamara Properties Limited is for a residential development comprising 161 dwellings.
This includes two detached chalet bungalows, 17 detached houses, 14 semi-detached chalet bungalows, 82 semi-detached houses, and 46 townhouses along with including a flood alleviation scheme and all associated site works.
The application site is located on lands to the South of Gortinure Road and immediately East of Silverbrook Park and Primity Crescent in Newbuildings.
Planning Committee chairman Councillor Fergal Leonard welcomed the decision.
“The addition of 161 new homes is a significant and timely development for the Newbuildings area and will directly address the growing housing needs in this part of our district,” said Cllr Logue.
“The thoughtfully planned mix of housing types – from spacious detached homes to modern townhouses and accessible bungalows – ensures we’re creating a truly inclusive community that caters to first-time buyers, growing families, and residents looking to downsize.
“This development highlights our commitment to supporting growth and providing quality residential development in the district.”
