Planning application
54 Waterloo Street, Londonderry, BT48 6HF
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Non-material change to LA11/2021/1188/F, comprising the installation of a roof-mounted water storage tank, together with the associated pumps, plant and enclosure, to facilitate a traditional residential sprinkler system, in place of the previously proposed water mist fire-suppression system.

The process from here
This application is with Derry City and Strabane for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About amendments applications
How this application type works
An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.
