Former Army Base To Be Converted Into Hotel In L'Derry
Plans have been approved for a former Army base in L'Derry to be converted into a major hotel development.
The new 152-bedroom scheme will be called The Ebrington.
Chair of the Planning Committee, Councillor Dan Kelly, said: "I was delighted to see the application progress through Committee and I look forward to seeing what will be the transformation of the historic buildings which occupy one of the city's most strategic investment sites.
"The hotel, in tandem with the additional plans for development of a temporary public car park and a new brewery at the site, will also further enhance the potential of Ebrington Square as a desired and strategic location for other investors to consider."
The development will incorporate the refurbishment and re-use of three listed buildings at Ebrington Barracks with a new three-storey modern infill addition between Building 63 and the Clock Tower Building 67 - 69 fronting onto Ebrington Square and a new four-storey extension to the rear of the Clocktower Building.
