Approval Recommended To Regenerate Former MOD Site
Approval has been recommended to regenerate the former MOD site at Fort George in L'Derry.
The plan sets out a development framework for the 6.2 hectare site and includes a mixed use development with residential, office, employment and education uses, retail, cafes, bars and restaurants and associated multi-storey and surface car parking.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan, who recommended the approval, said: "This is a major regeneration site in the City and the approval now provides certainty on the scale and type of development that will be acceptable. It also allows work to be completed on the decontamination of the site and ensures that the site is ready for inward investment.
"I believe that this approval will also serve to reinvigorate this part of the city both physically and functionally. It will have positive impacts on an improved public realm and river frontage."
