Planning permission approved to refurbish Waterside Station

Full planning permission has been approved for the refurbishment and re-use of the former Waterside Railway Station in Derry.
The new station will include accommodation including an active travel centre, passenger facilities, a café, retail space and staff facilities with office accommodation and other let-able space on the first floor.
Members of Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Planning Committee have approved planning permission for the refurbishment and re-use of the existing Grade B1 listed former Waterside Railway Station.
As well as the new station including in-house facilities, associated infrastructure works will include changes to track and signalling, new station platforms and canopies and an enhanced Park and Ride car park.
The development also includes a public realm scheme with landscaping and street furniture and a new Greenway which will link into the riverside walk at Ebrington.
Welcoming the decision Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council Maoliosa McHugh said the refurbishment of the Station was part of a wider project, the North West Multimodal Transport Hub scheme that aims to integrate transport facilities across the North West region and include improved integration of cross border public transport services.
