The Watson's Fort development will see 176 more homes built on the site

A major Newry housing development has been given the go-ahead for its next huge phase.

An amended Loftus proposal for 176 homes will see Watson’s Fort massively increase from 22 houses in Phase 1 to just under the originally approved 200 units.

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council’s planning committee signed off on the application yesterday  27 May without further scrutiny in open chambers.

The housing development should majorly benefit the Thomas Davis GAC facilities next door with the potential for many more members right on their doorstep.

A spokesperson for Lotus said: “Lotus Homes is delighted to confirm that planning approval has now been granted for Phase 2 of the Watson’s Fort development in Newry.

“Following strong demand and a positive response to Phase 1, this next phase will deliver a further collection of high-quality family homes in one of Newry’s most sought-after residential locations.”
