  23. Victoria Road has the station building in good condition and well.incorporated in business premises. The former goods buildings and other railway infrastructure are still there after 66 years. Some of these were protected by listed building status. This housing application first made in 2014 and refused more than once Then Derry City Council applied to get some of the station buildings delisted a few years back and achieved this despite local opposition. Now 3 years after that this horrible and crammed housing development got approval on appeal. As they say about planning laws in NI Money Talks!
