The proposal for the former Arntz Belting Company site has been granted planning permission earlier
Cllr Tierney said: ”This multi-faceted application has been in the planning process for a long time; so it is great to see that the plans have now been approved.
“The proposed development has the potential to bring significant benefits in terms of employment and economic development to the city.
“The plans include a large retail space and a medical building, ideal for a new Primary Care Centre, with associated car-parking.
“Fears among local residents about the impact on traffic in an already congested area should be allayed by the massive improvements that will be made to the local road network as a consequence of the development.
“Acknowledgment should be given to the developers for their patience throughout what has been a lengthy planning process but we are pleased to be in the position to now give this exciting proposal the green light,” he added
