Derry City and Strabane District Council\u2019s Planning Committee has unanimously approved a major residential development comprising 27 apartments at Main Street Strabane at its meeting held in the Guildhall Council Chamber.<\/p>\n

The approved scheme will see the demolition of four existing derelict dwellings at 104\u2013110 Main Street and the construction of a new apartment development, including a mix of 4 one-bedroom and 23 two-bedroom units, alongside associated ancillary works.<\/p>\n

Located within Strabane town centre and adjacent to the Mourne River, the development will transform a currently underutilised brownfield site into high-quality residential accommodation.<\/p>\n

The proposal also includes a landscaped internal courtyard, cycle storage, and improved connectivity to surrounding amenities, including the river walk, public car parking, and town centre services.<\/p>\n

The development aligns with the Council\u2019s Local Development Plan and regional planning policy, supporting sustainable urban growth by encouraging town centre living, making efficient use of previously developed land, and reducing reliance on greenfield sites.<\/p>\n

A proportion of the homes will also be delivered as affordable housing, helping to meet local housing need.<\/p>\n

Chair of the Planning Committee, Councillor John Boyle, welcomed the approval:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased planning has been approved on this significant redevelopment for Strabane town centre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis scheme will bring a vacant and derelict site back into productive use, delivering 27 new homes in a highly accessible and sustainable location.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inclusion of a mix of apartment types, alongside affordable provision, is an important step in meeting local housing demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopments like this provide much-needed homes but also help to revitalise our town centres by increasing footfall and supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision reflects our Council\u2019s commitment to encouraging high-quality, sustainable development that benefits our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

No objections were received during the application process, and statutory consultees raised no concerns subject to conditions.<\/p>\n
