20 new houses approved for Culmore

Planning permission has been given for 20 new homes at Culmore. Members of Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Planning Committee voted to grant planning permission for the new housing development on lands at Tullyardan Square, Culmore village, on July 1. The decision has now been issued and Planning Permission has been granted. The mix of housing includes semi-detached and detached dwellings which offer choice family homes to future occupants. The development will encompass a central area of open space within the site and will tie into the existing development at Tullyardan Square in which nine of the dwellings have already been completed. Chief Executive of Derry City and Strabane District Council John Kelpie described the granting of permission as a welcome boost to the village of Culmore, pictured above. "This will provide a mix of housing to offer choice in a quality living environment for the future residents and a much needed boost to the economy and construction jobs in difficult economic times," he said.
