FIVE city council housing schemes, which combined will deliver more than 250 new homes in locations across the city, have gone to public consultation in recent days.

The Lehenaghmore proposed development comprises the construction of a residential development of 45 houses on a 1.79-hectare site.

These houses would be a mix of three-bed and two-bed townhouses and three-bed semi-detached houses.

Under the scheme, four three-storey blocks would be constructed containing seven three-bed duplex apartments, three two-bed ground floor apartments, eight two-bedroom duplex apartments, and 12 one-bed ground floor apartments.

An additional two four-storey blocks containing 48 apartments would also be constructed.

These would be a mix of three, two and one-bed units.

The subdivision of the former three-storey Coach House on the site is also proposed to provide an additional two two-bed units.
