Galliagh Phase 1 Residential Scheme, Derry/Londonderry
Delivery of social housing units on a greenfield site within an established housing area, comprising a mix of houses, apartments including dwellings specifically designed for older people and people with complex needs.
All dwellings complied with the requirements of Lifetime Homes, Secured by Design and the Housing Association Guide (HAG) by the Department for Communities.
The development was completed on a steeply sloping site requiring detailed cost analysis to ensure efficiency in earth movement and retaining structures. The site formed part of a large master plan which required increased open space and landscaping within the site boundaries presenting challenges in optimising site density.
